Special guidelines are provided by the Fair Labor Standards Act for service and retail businesses. The employees at these establishments are usually paid on a commission basis in whole or part, and these businesses are permitted to exempt employees from overtime wages if they meet several conditions.

It is essential for detailed records to be kept of hours worked and commissions made. When this information is not recorded, employees may not receive their full commissions and payments. Although this can result form either intentional or accidental oversights, unlawful deductions from commissions are illegal under the Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

If you have suffered unlawful deductions from commissions at your workplace, it is important for you to be informed of your legal rights. An experienced and understanding attorney can help you fight for the compensation you deserve. By fighting for justice against those who have acted dishonestly you can call attention to a problem that affects countless amounts of Americans across the country.
