Draws

A draw is similar to a loan while the employee is on the payroll. The commissions are used to "repay" the loan, thereby reducing the indebtedness owed. However, a draw is a hybrid between a loan and a fixed salary. It's like a salary because all payroll deductions must be taken out of every draw check. As with any salary, a draw is considered wages. This means it must be paid every pay period and vests upon the employee terminating (voluntarily or involuntarily).

Draws against commissions to be earned at a later date are legal only if the draw is equal to at least the minimum wage due the employee for all hours worked in each pay period. The draw may be reconciled against earned commissions at an agreed date or when the commission is earned if there is an express agreement to that effect between the employer and the employee. If no express agreement exists, the draw will be considered the basic wage in lieu of salary and fix the employee's minimum compensation.
