Yes, you may be entitled to overtime pay if you get paid a commission and more than 40 hours in a single work week. According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), commissioned workers are entitled to overtime pay if they are considered non-exempt. If you believe you have been denied wage benefits, it is important to consult an experienced unpaid overtime lawsuit attorney about your possible case.
Many employees are paid a base salary and then commissions based upon sales or some other type of incentive. This is a great benefit to the employer, because the wage is typically much lower than it would be for a traditional salary or hourly pay scale and it motivates the employee to achieve maximum performance. However, if an employee works more than 40 hours a week, often times a worker getting paid on commission will be cheated out of overtime pay.
