Alberta > Employment Law > Pay:

I work in a clothing store and get paid by commission. What does that mean?

It means that part of your wages will be based on how many items you sell and the value of those items. When you ring up a sale, you will probably have to record your sale in the store's records. At the end of the pay period, you will receive a percentage of your total sales as part of your wages. Your employer will decide what the percentage will be.
