Giving the employee a percentage of sales in addition to their salary
It is known that a partner is not allowed to take a fixed amount of money. What is the ruling on what some companies do by giving a percentage of the employee's sales (2%) as an incentive in addition to the salary they receive?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The employee is not a partner, and what is given is considered a wage. People have become accustomed to paying these percentages as part of the wage, and they do not dispute this, so it is permissible. And God knows best.
