Title: Exempt commission Sales

Main office is in Fresno, Ca 120 miles one way from where I live. I was previously a contractor but company made me an employee last year (non wages) commission only for sales made in my area. New stipulated requirement was for me to drive to Fresno twice a month.

I can not afford to do that, and When I am there they have been expecting me to train new people with my knowledge and sales skills.

I went to the meeting once and was able to pick up needed supplies they supply while at office, however I was unable to attend another meeting this day because I had to assist with an installation of product sold and met installer at customer home.

Employer called me since I didn’t show up to sales meeting and terminated me. I am not pain an hourly wage while I am there, in fact I lose a day of selling. Also I own a 2004 vehicle that has several miles on it and I can’t afford to drive back and forth.

Is this company allowed to make this meetings x2 a week so far away mandatory without even paying me wages? I never signed anything that i would attend meetings in any recent agreement after their new change.

Question is closed for new answers.
