Are you paid based on your performance?

And if you aren't, will your employer continue to pay you if you do not perform well?

I would like to hear from people about the tips, commissions, bonuses and other forms of pay they can receive for performing well.

    I have always worked mostly commissioned sales jobs. My pay is definitely based upon performance. If the company does well, we all get an end of the year Christmas bonus.

    If I have a liberal as a boss and they find out I am a Republican, I can almost assuredly expect to be targeted and fired regardless. I live in N CA and it's been this way since Hilary's bogus 'vast right-wing conspiracy' scandal and only gotten increasingly worse. Libs now do exactly what she fraudulently accused us of doing all those years ago with self-righteous vindication over what was clearly lies to begin - without regret and the same feigned justification that she used. - they're a nasty lot.

    If its a job you applied for , like a carry out , or in my case a dining room aid at a residential home for the MR , they have to pay you . Minimum wage just raised to 7.70 . So that is the very least you can be paid . If you have a degree its more . Bonuses , are determined by the boss . I started a few months ago , and the other dining room aids have been there for 5 years . I got a 100 bonus , and they got 25 . So that depends if the boss like you are not . Tips are based on customers . Comission , is by how much money you all rake in all day and it gets split .

    I'm studding to become an actuary and the payment is mostly based on performance. You will still get paid for a short time after they've deemed you have "slacking performance" but if you don't improve then you will surely get fired. The people who get paid by commission are generally specialists in the field, and if you don't act like a specialist you don't get paid like a specialist.

    Most jobs have merit pay and merit bonuses. You earn those by doing more then expected.

    No you are put on warning if you do not perform well and eventually fired.

    There are 100 people waiting for your job.
