OK Ok, where I work, a newspaper, we as sales people are draw against commission. We are given a monthly budget, if we hit budget we get to keep our draw, if we are above budget we get a better than draw commission. if we are below budget we still get our draw, but we owe them the differance in the below buget percentage the next month. That being said, they also tell us that we are allowed so many vacation days based on our seniority. However we must be on the job 75% of each month or they do not pay commissions, only draw and then you owe them. Now they are writing people up for not being here 9-5 and not bidding vacation 2 weeks in advance like the salaried people. Last year I was out of "vacation" time but needed a few days off for a personal thing. They said "we will dock you for the days you are not here" I said great! Then at the end of the month when I pay back my draw i will owe you less money" right?" They looked a bit confused and the boss was too lazy to do whatever paper work might be used in this situation and they just turned the other way. I kinda think they are getting away with things but I'm not sure.
