Hello

I have recently taken this job with a Recruiting company that does not presently have an office in my State.
I am supposed to solicit candidates for them via Internet from Home or wherever using my own expenses.
However, I am occasionally being asked to work in a certain way , make data entry operations that take up a lot of time.

My question is that the employer does not pay me and my work is only commision based.
I may be categorized as an Independent worker for tax reasons but as I read on the IRS Website, for an IC the employer does not control how I carry out my job functions.
Am I due minimum wage from my employer even if I am an independent worker considering I am still doing work for the employer which costs labor on my part.

Also, I would like to mention that I am on a work permit here. is the Minm wage law applicable only for US Citizens ?

Thanks for all the help !
