not unlike other Real Estate sales and many commissioned sales postions and small business owners.

"You want to know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes BRASS BALLS to sell real estate."

-Blake from Glengarry Glenn Ross
 
So how does this square with US minimum wage legislation?
 
So how does this square with US minimum wage legislation?

Unless I am missing something it would not be legal. Outside sales are exempt from minimum wage but this position is clearly inside sales. In order to be legal the position must be paid at least a draw on future commissions equal to minimum wage.

If the position is exempt from overtime, the minimum wage is a salary of $455 per week.

It's extremely easy to file a claim long after the fact. No lawyer needed and the amount is usually doubled as a penalty to the employer.
