What is the name of your state? Florida, Dade County

I work in a Computer Superstore making $7.75Hr plus commission.
Every two weeks, I get paid 1.1% commission on every sale that I make over $55000 .
The Regional manager that I work for demands on the General manager of the store a 6% of service plans over the total sales of the store. That equate , that every computer sale has to have an extended service plan attached to it, but if for any reason I do not sale the service plan I am force to give my sale to another person in another department (corporate sales) they basically wait for me to give them the sales.
But if a cashier put a sales in my name the cashier gets fire because according to company policy is against their law to award sales to another person if they did not make the sale.
I been working for this company for a long time an every two weeks I am force give an average of $22000 in sales that at 1.1 % commission equals $242
I believe that the real reason they forced me to give my sales is because all the manager gets a hefty bonus at the end of the month if they keep their 6% Service plan sales
Is this legal?
can they forced my to do this?
When I was hired they did not mention anything about give sales away to other people
Please help!!!!!!!

Whether an employer even offers commissions on sales and how they're structured if they do is entirely up to the employer.

I don't understand if you make a sale that doesn't include an extended service plan why it has to be credited to another sales person but I suppose if your employer wants it done that way, it's not illegal. If the company wants to award the manager a hefty bonus, they may.

Personally, if I were you, I'd be looking for a job with a different employer where the commission structure was more fair.
