Pay Rate Per Day Payroll Payment

Pay Rate Per Day Payroll Payment

This payment is based on settlement data and is configured individually for Linehaul, Shuttle, and Spot trips. For every day on the settlement where there is at least one trip of the selected type, the driver will receive the daily rate for that day.

How It Works in the Payroll Report

When payroll is generated, the Pay Rate Per Day value will be added to the total amount for trips of the selected type (Linehaul, Shuttle, or Spot) for each day it applies.

Exceptions to this Setting:

If a driver completes a trip that lasts more than one day, and the settlement reflects this trip in two separate lines (one for each day), the driver will be paid two daily rates, one for each day.

This happens because the system relies solely on settlement data, which does not show that these lines are part of the same trip. Moreover, the settlement does not show the number of hours worked each day.
