Maybe. Let's start at the beginning:
- What do you sell?
- Where/how do you sell it?
Federal law (FLSA) makes distinctions.
- Employees who sell product outside of their employer's premises (Outside Sales) are under very different rules then those who sell product at their employer's premises (Inside Sales).
- Then even for Inside Sales, people whose employers fall under the Retail/Service Establishment exception are under different rules then say people who sell stuff over the phone or internet.
- And sometimes the industry makes a difference. For example, selling cars from a lot falls under the Auto Dealer exception, while selling say furniture from a store has no such exception."Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away".
Philip K. **** (1928-1982)
