<prompt> Human: First time posting in this sub, not sure if it was better to post here or in askreddit. Some background information, I work as a salesman with an hourlycommission pay structure. I get paid by the hour with an extra commission check based on what I sell. However, due to the upcoming snowstorm the office has been closed. So for today the pay structure is now pure commission. My boss has asked me to make my sales calls from home like I normally would. Am I under any obligation to work from home if the office is closed? Im not sure its worth my time and energy if theres no guarantee Ill make any money today. Would like some advice, Ive never been in this situation before.  <response>: if you are making calls as part of your job, whether you work from home or not, your boss can not not pay you hourly rate...If asked. decline to do so unless you are paid for doing work as well as any commissions you may recieve
