<prompt> Human: I do service work and I am salaried at 30k per year. When I had taken the job my understanding was that I was salaried with commission, due to fluxuations in hours week to week and month to month. With that said I received my first commission check which was meant to cover my commission for 6 weeks of work, it was 300. My overtime pay for those six weeks would have been roughly 1300. I am worried to say something to my boss about it because he has told other employees that he doesnt have to pay us for our drive time which makes up close to 12 of my time spent at work each week. No-one at my job is happy with the situation we have but no one is willing to speak up due to fear of losing their jobs, and I am not even sure if my boss is technically required to pay overtime because of my status as a comissioned employee. I spend 62 hours at work this week. I have been told to talk to my boss about it but am worried that raising the issue could also cost me my job. Do you guys have any advice?  <response>: Generally salaried employees are exempt from overtime pay. You could ask for larger commission or perhaps mileage reimbursements if youre driving your own vehicle.
