Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I work 40 hours a week, Monday-Friday 9-5 at a very small business. I get paid hourly. My boss wants me to start working before and after work going to community events and meetings to try and get business a couple days a week. He also wants me to work some weekend hours to also try and get more business going to local places around town talking about our services. He says I will not get paid but will get a small commission if any of the people I talk to during those times purchases anything from us. Is this legal? Should I be getting paid hourly as well?

It is legal. If you agree to getting a commission instead of being paid hourly, you get the commission. Either help with the business on the newer basis or not, it is up to you.
