[QUOTE="dvalleyjim, post: 972929, member: 36471"] If you are not paying your drivers hourly plus overtime you are setting yourself up for major legal and employment problems. They are also entitled to breaks and lunch. You should read the labor laws for your state to know for sure. These breaks and lunch must also be documented. You need a time card and an employee manual. Lawyers are also effected by the slow economy and this is a lawsuit they are now pursuing intently. In many states piece work is also illegal, check your states employment laws. That being said, I know that payroll companies will tell you that salary is ok for your drivers. They won't be fighting the legal battle, you will. In my state salary is only for managers that supervise employees. Who does your driver supervise? Same for piece work, it's a red flag. Is it one your willing to try and defend at a labor board meeting? [/QUOTE]
