Employees work only on commission: How much must we pay?

03/31/2014

Q: If we have commission-only salespeople and they don't make any sales during a pay period, do we need to give them at least the minimum wage for the hours they worked? If yes, can we call that minimum pay a “draw” and deduct it from their next commission check? And if we have commission-only salespeople who are regular employees, can they be excluded from receiving PTO or any other benefits? — Denise, California
