5.Question: If you’re getting paid a base salary plus commission, is there a point where you would be compensated as an overtime?

Answer: Only if you are an hourly employee.

6.Question: How do I prove how long a liquid was on the floor at a big popular store, which I fell on?

Answer: If it happened for a short amount of time, the store cannot be held liable. If the spill was there much longer, there might be an issue. The surveillance cameras might be able to confirm spills should have been cleaned up in a timely manner.
