I am a little confused.  What do you mean by never seeing what the employer gets?  How else can you calculate a percentage if you do not know the whole amount?  Are you in sales?  Do you have any kind of written agreement here?  Then the agreement is a contract between you.  Read the terms and see if that gives you any leg to stand on.  But do not fret if it does not.  Logic and equity would prevail here that in order for you to verify your wages you would be entitled to see the entire compensation received by your employer.  I would write a letter to your employer requesting verification.  If you do not get it then I would consider filing a complaint.  Good luck to you.
