What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? (Michigan)
I work as a telemarketer. We make a base pay that never changes (unless we get a raise, but other than that, it's a weekly check of the same amount) along with commission if we get a sale. Business is usually pretty good, but this month, it hasn't been. So earlier today, our boss gave us a sheet of paper to sign, stating that if we don't get a certain number of leads per week, they will deduct money from our base pay (not our commission, but our base/weekly pay). If we don't sign it, we will be fired. (In fact, a co-worker got fired for asking about it at the end of our shift.) Is this legal?
