Estate Agent... Minimum Wage?
Discussion
Hello!
I have just got a job as an Estate Agent and the basic salary is less than minimum wage.
Do jobs with commission have to pay minimum wage or are they exempt?
It's just a bit annoying as to make it up to minimum wage I will have to sell 1 property a month (no problem!) but for the hours and pressure of the job it seems a little low.
Cheers

Evening all, just finished my first day.
The question was asked, really, to see whether the basic was acceptable. After all, we would all want an extra 1500 - 2000 pounds a year if we could get it.
Another thing, selling property involves quite a lot of work, I think you can all agree that putting in the work to make it mininum wage is galling, especially when you know you can earn more stacking shelves in aldi!
I have been an agent before and I left to relocate 10 months ago so I know what it involves. I enjoy it ans I know full well that I will be out on my arse if I only sell one a month!
