[QUOTE="sjh, post: 1139879, member: 41657"] I find it amusing that you and your brother both work for delivery companies. Don't know why. We have a guy who does exactly what you do and when he manages, we make sure he isn't on the road past 12pm-1pm if we can help it. It doesn't make sense to have a guy "manage" who isn't also left available to back up any other drivers or be moderator for the terminal. Are you contact for terminal if any of the other drivers have address corrections, pulled stops, reattempts, etc? How we used to do it is give him his base pay of, plus $1.?? per stop over 73 (I think that's his...its different for every driver), plus "management pay" for days he is on call like that. Now we have it figured into his pay that he is scheduled to run a minimum number of dispatches. But again, if he's running dispatch in the morning (which you're right, it requires going in earlier to flex routes and stay till nearly everyone is closed out) he is guaranteed a light day with the expectation that he is on call until everyone is closed out, OR if he has to be out for a full day (which is extremely rare) he is justly compensated. If that was your literal schedule, you should request extra payment for the management portion. Also, not sure what your state's pay requirements are, but in CA your compensation should average out to minimum wage for the first 8 hours, and overtime pay for anything over. The math on that is $154. Meaning you barely squeaked in at just above minimum wage for that day. If you're the kind of worker your contractor is going to use to manage the mornings, you should be getting paid more to do it. Just my thought. [/QUOTE]
