Enforce minimum wage salary to reflect hours worked in motor sales industry.
Stop slave driving in the motor industry. Commonly sales commissioned jobs, most employers will pay a basic salary which does not meet the national minimum wage.
i.e. 45 plus working hours per week a sales man or woman will be expected to work for a set salary. The short fall can be £600-700, which they are expected to make up with commissions but due to poor unregulated commission structures it can be sometimes hard.
The minimum wage keeps getting increased but the sales industry for the motor trade is being left behind. A fair enforced national minimum waged salary should be the minimum legal requirement which should reflect how many hours they work.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
All employers are already required to pay the National Minimum Wage to people who work in commission based jobs, including in motor sales.
