Commission only pay
 

We're in Queensland and have noticed that there are a lot of 'commission only' jobs. Some advertise they are, and some, my husband has found out, only tell you after they offer you the job.

I know there are special considerations for Real Estate and Car Salespeople with commission only jobs. But what about ordinary sales? Surely they have to be paid a minimum wage otherwise it would be a kind of slavery (with unscrupulous businesses setting targets too hard to reach).

If anyone can advise us it would be great.

"commission only" is normally self employment, and should be mentioned as such.
