incentives or forms of encouragement to inspire employees to put a little more industry on the jobs particularly
assigned to them, still these commissions are direct remunerations for services rendered. In fact, commissions have
been defined as the recompense, compensation or reward of an agent, salesman, executor, trustee, receiver, factor,
broker or bailee, when the same is calculated as a percentage on the amount of his transactions or on the profit to the
principal. // Commissions are then included in determining compliance with minimum wage requirements.
