I was under one of those 'sales' contracts. Or rather it was a commission plan where you were paid a base salary that was a portion of your compensation. If you hit 100% of your target, you hit your salary. For every percentage point of your commission you hit over your plan you were paid 4X. So if you hit w 125% of your commission, you would double your salary. Commission paid out every qtr the following qtr.
And of course they added a note that they had the right to adjust your commission.
They are notorious for screwing w your commissions.
