no, if you can get the minimum wage through commission thats good enough really. i live in Scotland and there is a lot of places up here that only pay commission, ie the better you perform the better the pay.
BUT he should have given you proper notice and ask you to sign a new contract about changes the way you are paid, if he didnt, then you can get him into big trouble
if in UK, you an visit your local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) and get advice from them. if anywhere else you will have a business near by that will do the same, that deals with unfair dismissal, problems in work places etc, so find one asap
