What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Connecticut
I work for a nationwide retailer that has recently made changes to some departments in our local store. Employees in certain departments have been switched from salary (full-time) or hourly (part-time) to a minimum-wage draw plus commission. This was a sign-or-be-let-go change. Additionally, these employees are now required to come in 1 hour (full-time) or 30 minutes (part-time) before their shift begins to do non-sales work such as stocking, packing, etc. How is it that hours can be required where there is no sales potential and therefore no earning potential, which only count against the draw? Honestly, I don't see how the draw is even ok but apparently it is, so who am I to say..
