"Team- based salary"?
I work for neste waters. A big water company in the usa. They own arrowhead, ice mountain,deer park, poland spring, etc. i delivery water products to businesses and homes. My salary is based on a teams performence. For example: three peope may share a ten mile radius of customers. The total number of bottles delivered is split between us three and thats how we get paid. But our route is not equal. One guy might deliver less bottles than the other guy. Another guy might deliver more stops with customers who require him to travel all around the building to deliver two bottles. Basically really unfair and how can a company get away with this? I assume this is illegal. I know employees with the same job as me sued the company and now they r hourly paid. But in texas we still get paid team based salary. Should i go to a corporate lawyer? I live in texas and maybe the laws are different here.
In all honesty i’m too old and beat up to switch jobs and companies. I understand when you say the company would of checked to see if this was legal. But out in the east coast the employees sued the company and won. NOw they are hourly pay. But i’m unsure why we in texas are still team based?

Call or go to the website for the Texas Workforce Commission. They will be able to tell you if this practice is legal in TX or not. I suspect with a company that big they have already done their homework and would not leave themselves open to something that would cause them problems.
Why do you still work for them under conditions you don’t think are fair? Are they holding a family member hostage? Just curious…
