How is it legal to hire "commission only" sales people?

[lookingfortruth]

7. Hate to sound like a rude person but blame the Reagan era. It is in the 80s when people

became introduce to the terms "Sales Associate" and the like allowing people to work at commission only jobs. What happens in these situation is that when it is commission only they expect you to sale at least so much each month. When it is commission only the expectation is there that the person will sale X amount each month.


Say appliance is $150 dollars.


You think sears bought it from the mani factor for about $80 dollars


You have Sears Mark up (or what they get for selling it. ) $55 per item than you pay the sales person 10 % commission that's $15 dollars.

Not only that with terms uses like sale associate they re-classify the worker as someone who doesn't depend on a hourly salary.

Their are all these loopholes that people have a way getting around min wage.

Are you in a Right to Work state? These are the biggest offenders.

I'm in my 30s and my friends and I see jobs posted like that all the time and usually you are not considered full time and your hours are often dictated by your sales.
