I was just wondering if it was legal for an employer to lower an hourly wage in the situation of getting an hourly wage in addition to commission.

That is what I needed to know.
- You have to be paid minimum wage for each work week. Period. Commissions cannot change that.
- Overtime can be complicated. You could be under the so-called normal rules. You could be under the Retail/Service establishment exception to the overtime rules.
- Those are basically the labor law rules that someone doing your job is subject to. As long as those rules are being followed, and as long as your employer lets you know of any changes prior to the work being done on the new rates, the new changes likely to be legal.
- If you have an actual contract or collective bargining agreement, then the terms of that agreement could create obligations on the employer past the labor law requirements."Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away".
