Driver Pay
Driver pay is calculated from several parts of the Operations App.
Quick Tip: You can run an Estimated Driver Commission Report for multiple drivers from the toolbar in the Classic Operations App by going to Reports > Estimated Driver Commission Report.
Order Pay
Primary Pay Setup
The on demand driver pay percentage is made up of 4 percentages.
Human Resource Record On Demand %: In most cases, this is where you will set the driver’s pay.
Order Type Driver Split %: This can be used when drivers would get smaller or larger percentages for certain order types.
Order Form Percent: Here percentages can be set for each driver on the order. Most commonly used where more than one driver works on an order and splits the pay.
Items Driver Split %: This only affects the charges for the line item and is commonly used when the driver should get a smaller or larger amount of the customer charges for the line item.
All of these percentages are applied. So if 2 is 4 of these percentages were set to 50% and the other 2 set to 100% then the driver's pay will be 25%.
Quick Tip: Driver pay should be set to 100% for any records that you do not want to affect the driver pay.
Driver Override % on Customer Record
You can override driver pay percentages on the customer record. This is often used if driver pay calculations need to be overridden when performing work for a certain customer.
Adding a value to the Driver Override % will override the pay % from the driver's human resource record (and factor into the pay calculation just as the human resource pay % normally would).

Route Pay
Primary Pay Setup
Route pay is calculated from the following.
Route Form Pay Route fields: The Pay Style, Minimum route pay fields, and Maximum route pay fields are the primary settings when setting up driver route pay.
There are 7 pay styles to choose from on the route form.
Per Route - Pay is the amount from the Pay Amount field.
Per Stop - Pay is the amount from the Pay Amount field multiplied by the number of stops on the driver's route manifest. The number of stops includes scheduled stops as well as any distribution or reassigned scheduled stops.
Per Piece - Pay is the amount from the Pay Amount field multiplied by the total number of pieces from the driver's stops in the pieces field.
Percentage - Pay is the sum of the price of all the stops multiplied by the driver's Route %, found in his/her human resource record.
Per Schedule - Pay is based on a set schedule.
Booked Amount - Pay is based on the Booked Percentage on the customer record associated with the stop and the Route % on the driver's human resource record.
Advanced Fallback - Pay according to a tiered structure when multiple stops are required at the same location. Only available for integrations.
Customer Record X Route fields: Used to make adjustments to the driver pay.
Global Options Driver surcharge %: The Driver surcharge % affects all routes and is based on the selected Driver Surcharge based on setting.
Human Resource Record Route Pay %: This is usually set to 100% unless the Pay Style on the route form is set to “Percentage”.
Driver Surcharge
Driver pay can also include calculated amounts based on surcharges. This is set up in the Global Options X Route tab and can be overridden on the route level and can be based on one of the following.
Driver Surcharge % - This is the default option for driver surcharges and is calculated based on the driver pay set up within Route Planning. This takes into account all of the current surcharge adjustment fields.
Customer Surcharge % - Another option for calculating driver surcharge is to base it on the total surcharge amount charged to your customer. The contract’s Billing must be set to “Stop Rate”, if a stamp rate chart is used when creating route stops manually, or importing route stops. Otherwise, the surcharge amount will be $0.00.
Override Driver Pay
Override driver pay can be set up on the contract stop or on a route stop using by enabling and setting the Override Settlement.
