Does your business compensate any of its sales associates through a 100% commission sales model?  If so you may be violating the Massachusetts Wage and Hour laws under a recent decision by the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) in the case of Laurita Sullivan v Sleepy’s LLC which concluded that 100% commission employees are entitled to receive additional and separate compensation equal to one and one half times the minimum wage for hours worked over 40 in a work week and for work performed on Sunday’s and certain holidays.
 
RAM is interested in hearing from members regarding their use of 100% commission sales people.  Please take a few minutes to complete a brief survey to help RAM better understand this impact of this decision on membership.
