If they sold 3 cars that month and could only make $1600 in commission, they would still be paid $2000. Once their monthly sales hit the $2000 mark, the sky's the limit.
The BC Employment Standards Act guarantees an employee minimum wage even IF an employee is commission based. There are some specific exclusions for car sales/commissioned sales, though: https://www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb/igm...m-esa-s-16.htm
