California Labor Law Overtime: I am paid on commission, I don get paid overtime, right?
Wrong. Many commissioned workers such as loan officers and stock brokers are entitled to overtime. If you are an outside salesperson, you are not entitled to overtime. If you work in retail sales. at least 1/2 of your total earnings come from commissions and you make at least 1 1/2 times the current minimum wage ($7.50/hr), then you are not entitled to overtime. If you work in sales other than retail — such as a loan officer, stock brokers, you are entitled to overtime.
