    Employee commission law
    Can a plumbing company that pays their employee/plumbers on a commission scall of 28% of a total job less parts, fire the employee for not bringing in over $30,000 a month. The company just yesterday implemented a new program that states any employee who sells less than $29.999 three months in a row in gone. The program is based on hours sold to customer, which min. 17.09 a week (5-days) or 3.4 a day. One billable hour is $440.00 and making the average invoice $1496.00.

    Do you have an employment contract?

    It would appear to me that if the company feels you are not working to your full potential they can let you go - no matter how ridiculous their requirements are.

    Is this an unreasonable dollar figure?
