In a new car and truck dealership, what is a good payplan for a secondary finance manager with 3 secondary salespeople under him? Also, how would you pay the salesperson who first greeted the customer? There always seems to be discord between the primary dept and secondary department. Are there any suggestions to bring harmony to the 2 departments?
Any and all suggestions are welcome

The D.C. Circuit ruled last week that President Obama did not have "recess appointment" authority to appoint members of the National Labor Relations Board in January 2012, the same time as he appointed Richard Cordray to be Director of the CFPB. Cordray was also a recess appointment. The Court ruled that Congress was technically in session. This ruling will be appealed but it may slow down some of the CFPB's initiatives including its auto finance initiatives. Cordray has indicated that…
