Minimum wage question

I started a new job today. When my contract was put in front of me i started reading it, obviously. Near the top it explained how much i am payed and it reads " Your hourly refernce pay will be £4.87 " which isnt the minimum wage. So i asked the new boss, saying it must be an error to which he replied saying that it was not an error and that they do not pay the minimum wage because/or related to the commission the sales staff earn. He did mention something about if someone earned below a level then their pay would be topped up. Ive heard of this before but basically know nothing about it ?
I dont know what the law says on this but i assumed that by " minimum wage " it didnt matter about anything else, you must be payed just that " the minimum wage "
Anyone know what the deal is here and wether or not he is right, or wrong and they should be paying minimum wage?
Cheers
