Lesson 37 Making Money Text: Chapter 1, section 5$ In order to make money you have to have some type of employment. Once you have the job there are a few ways you can be paid:$ Commission – the amount paid is based on a percentage of sales. There are FOUR different types of commission. Option 1: Straight Commission – you do not receive an hourly wage or salary. The money you make is based purely on how much you sell. Option 2: Salary PLUS commission – You earn a salary or hourly wage plus you make a percent of your sales. Option 3: Graduated Commission – You are paid only commission but your commission rate increases at various levels of sales. Option 4: Salary PLUS commission WITH a quota – You are paid commission on sales only after selling a specified amount of the company’s product.$ Hourly Wage – you are paid based on the number of hours worked not on how much you sell.$ Salary – Paid a yearly salary, which is divided evenly into pay periods. It doesn’t matter how many hours you work.$ Piecework – amount given for each piece of product produced.$ Fee for Service – money given for a service provided (i.e.: A Lecture)$ Contract – money given upon completion of a certain project.$ Tips and Gratuities – money given based on a particular percentage of a bill (10% - 15%) given to workers of the service industry (i.e. – waitress).$ Self Employment – Individuals who work for themselves and are not employed by another.
