Is it legal to take the amount of a warranty audit from my commission base and only pay me on the balance?
I was fired because of a warranty audit. It wasn’t too bad, but when they let me go, they took the amount of the audit from my departments gross and paid my commission on the balance left. I also did not get my vacation pay. Is this legal? No one else was penalized for the audit. Not even the warranty administrator (I was the Service Manager).

You need to consult with three agencies/people:
1. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: http://www.eeoc.gov/
2. The Missouri Dept of Labor: http://www.dolir.mo.gov/
3. A labor law attorney in your state. Try www.attorneypages.com or Missouri State Bar.
