My girlfriend has worked as an automotive tech for 5 years and during that whole time she just received an hourly rate.
She's been unemployed for the last year and just got a job offer and tried the job out this entire last week.
The employer wants to pay her 30% commission on all jobs only.
She's on her 5th day and at 50 hours.... should she be getting paid overtime?? and how does that work when she's commission only..?
Also are there any laws pertaining to the fact that her employer is requiring her to bring in her own tools?
--In California the law states that when an employer requires tools for the job their wages must be at least 2 times the amount of minimum wage. (Sec 45.5.7 http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/DLSEManua...enfcmanual.pdf)
Do we have any rules similar to that in Washington state?
If there are any helpful references please let me know! Thanks for your time!
