You should clarify the draw and salary statement; I worked for a guy once who said I was paid salary but it was a draw as he clawed back commission depending on sales.

Typically a base salary plus commission is exactly that; you get paid to show up and plug away, and if sales are over target then you get a cut. If sales are low then shit can hit the fan but your salary should be sacred; you just don't get a commission. Many employers are shits and will try to fudge this, so get it alllllllll in writing.

If a draw is involved it isn't salary as it is based on historical performance (car salesmen usually are an example). You get paid an agreed-upon figure and periodically that figure gets adjusted based on performance.
