Hello WFITGS, at my job I have been at for a while recently promoted me to a senior sales position within the company. We specialize in in ground swimming pools and the parts/chemicals that go along with them.
Every February we have a largest discounted sale of the year. We make cold calls to those who order yearly and whatnot. But I feel as if I'm kind of getting screwed here over these chemical sales.
My Manager told me today that the commissioned items that I sell will give me 2% of the unit price (price after discount is applied). Not to mention that it isn't off of the total sale, but off of select items.
So today I've sold about $3k in sales so far and it will pick up soon. So say I sell that much in a day I'm not even getting more than $100 in commission, while the company (which is a smaller family-owned company) that is very successful turns crazy profit i'm sure.
I did not know where to post this and I just wanted to make sure I am not getting totally screwed over here?
Thank you guys!

2% of 3000 is $60
They’re giving you the correct amount...
Only 2% is awful though

They could probably afford to pay you more, but if you already to 2%, they're not ripping you off.

Part of my job is calculating commission. This was part of my last job as well. Not sure what the specifics are with your deal, but generally commissions are paid on collected sales. So for example, if you’ve sold $3,000 but at the time commissions are calculated they only collected payment on $2,000, you’re commission would be based on $2,000.
Again not sure of your specific situation and if you were told you would be paid on sales regardless on collection status. But you should be well aware of what you agreed to, and if you ask the person paying your commission you should be entitled to see the calculations. I’ve always included commission reports with commission checks.
