Driver Tab

The Driver tab of the Location Maintenance is where you'll specify specific information relating to driver reimbursement as well as a few miscellaneous options. Changes in this information will be reflected the next time the Ordering Module is loaded.

Select the appropriate reimbursement option from this drop-down selection list. Based on which option you choose, the 'Reimbursement Rate(s)' section toggle to the appropriate criteria. For more information about the various reimbursement types, click here.

Per Mile

Per Mile reimbursement gives the driver a set dollar amount per mile driven. The mileage is calculated using the Starting Odometer and Ending Odometer fields in the Employee List.

Per Order

This simply gives the driver a flat dollar amount for each order taken.

Percent of Total Sales

This gives the driver a percentage of all orders he or she delivered during their shift. When entering the actual percentage value, use the decimal equivalent of the percentage; 5% would be entered as 0.05.

Percent of Pre-Tax Sales

Sector/Streets Reimbursement

This reimbursement type allows you to set varying reimbursement rates for different sectors or even individual streets. This also activates a field called Default Reimbursement Rate. If no reimbursement rate is set on both the street and sector, this Default value will be used.

Manual

Select this option to create a new Reimbursement Rate entry field. Multiple rates can be added to allow for different reimbursement tiers. For example, if using Per Mile reimbursement, you could set the first 50 miles to 10 cents and any milage beyond that to 15 cents.

If your drivers use personal cash banks, enter the dollar amount given them in this field. This field also controls personal banks for table servers.

If you provide a company car for your delivery drivers, check this option. This is primarily for reporting purposes.

If selected, the employee's insurance expiration date will be checked each time an order is routed to the employee. This expiration date is defined in the Employee File. If the driver's insurance is expired they will be unable to have any orders routed to them.

This option, when checked, will force the input of a driver's starting and ending odometer readings. This is used for reimbursement by miles.
