*A paycheck dated 4/10/2011 came in
with no work dates on it in the amount of $631.49
**A paycheck dated 4/29/2011 came in
with the work dates of 4/5,6,9,11,22 without the per-day payments
itemized, for $64.57
The total of all my paychecks was
$2041.13 (see attached document (“CanvasCorp Checks”)
Total commissions calculated from days
on which I recorded my sales: $2616.61
Total commissions calculated from days
on which I estimated my sales: $473.32
There were 18 days on which I recorded
my sales for which I was paid.
Total commissions calculated on the
days on which I was recorded sales and was paid: $1212.8075
Total commissions paid for those days:
$1073.08
That is an underpayment of 11.5%
Total commissions paid on the 12 days
on which I did not record or estimate my sales: $453.87
$453.87 x 11.5% = $52.195
$453.87 + $52.195 = $506.065
Total commissions calculated from
recorded and estimated sales, and using the assumed underpaid
commissions on the unrecorded days increased by the percentage that
my other commissions were underpaid: $3595.995 (possibly higher, as I
have a tendency to estimate low).
- On Feb 28, the manager, Scott, failed to write down $100 that I had turned in during the game, and did not believe me when I told him I had.. He insisted that I cover the missing $100 with whatever money I had (tips and whatever I had in my pocket when I came in that day). After all the other vendors had turned in their sales and inventory was taken, it was discovered that I was right and he was wrong, but they only had $80 in cash to pay me back. Therefore I am owed $20 for that day.
- On March 24, I was called at the night before to work the NCAA fan fest in Championship Plaza. I sold nothing for 90 minutes in the cold at this poorly attended event at which there were other food vendors. I was told by the manager Bruce Herzog that what I did helped the company. I told him I wanted $20 for my time. He said to tell Mark and I would be “taken care of better than that.” I never got the chance to tell Mark, and I have been paid nothing. I will accept my original request of $20 for that day.
- After one game, late in the season (I can’t remember which game) the manager, Dave, failed to account for $108 in candy that I had sold when it was time for me to turn in the money. I waited and let him check over his figures several times, and encouraged him to do so, as I thought that it was an unusually large amount for me to have left over. He could not find anything wrong with his figures then so I left. About an hour later, when I was already more than halfway home, he called me to inform me of his mistake. I asked him to please take it out of my next paycheck. So that is $108 to me in addition to what I have been paid.
Total of commissions earned, estimated,
and calculated, plus monies owed for miscellaneous reasons: $3635.995
Total paid to me in commissions, plus
the $108 mentioned above: $2149.13
Total of unpaid commissions and
other monies owed by Canvas Corp to me: $1486.865
