What is the name of your state? UT
I have a job with a hybrid pay structure. There is an hourly pay rate, which is paid correctly almost all of the time. On top of that, to encourage work being done in a timely manner, is a commision on labor.
The employment contract states that commision is to be paid on labor at a rate of 22.5% for the first $2000 above a $5000 quota (the amount up to $7000) and 25% for anything beyond $7000. When the salesmen bill the customer, sometimes they do not charge the proper amount for labor. Each hour is supposed to be billed at $50 service charge, plus actual work labor, but sometimes they will only charge the $50 for the first hour of a job that could take up to 6 hours.
By my calculations, if they only discount one hour per day for a year, I lose over $3000 in wages. I am quite sure this is the average.
Is there anything other than DOL intervention that can help, or am I just spitting into the wind by arguing this point?
