The Seventh Circuit concluded that the mechanics — who were paid “a percentage * * * of the labor component of the price of their service to the customer” — were paid by commission. Id. Other courts also have held that a commission-based system exists so long as employee compensation is linked to the price charged to the customer for the good or service sold. See Parker v. NutriSystem, Inc., 2009 WL 2358623, at *8 (E.D.Pa. July 30, 2009) (“some amount of proportionality must exist between flat rates earned by workers and the prices paid by customers for the products sold”); Wilks v. Pep Boys, 2006 WL 2821700, at * 17 n. 7, *18 (M.D.Tenn. Sept. 26, 2006) (<HOLDING>); Huntley v. Bonner’s, Inc., 2003 WL 24133000,
