DS (aged 23) is about to start a new job, in sales. He was told that his basic salary is £12k and that he'd be expected to sell 3 - 4 items a week, with commission of £40 on each sale. No mention of hours was made, but we did the sums and figured he'd be doing about 37.5, as that number fits with the £12k and minimum wage.
However, he has just discovered that he's expected to be in work 60 hours a week and he has to sell 3 - 4 items a week (3 one week, 4 the other) just to earn minimum wage for each of those 60 hours.
Can this be right?
