In Brazil, commission-based payment is extremely common in sales, real estate, and service industries. It's often seen as motivating for high-performers but can create income instability. In the USA and NYC specifically, this model is prevalent in finance, sales, and retail sectors, where workers may take pride in their commission earnings as a sign of success. Portuguese employers may also use this model but tend to combine it more frequently with base salary structures.
