GLAN is an unknown quantity at this point
^ That's reasonable thinking.


As for the driving time......You don't have to pay them for drive time.......not by law.

Only if you have a driver..........It's no different than they driving their own car to their place of employment.

Here's the exception...........Lets suppose you have a job that is 1 hour away from your yard.....Your driver is paid for all clock time......he/she drives.....Now lets suppose that one of the laborers before leaving the yard.....he gets gas for cans....or loads a truck with material.....anything work related..........You have to compensate for that time......This also comes into play when returning to the yard after driving for an hour.

If they just get in the truck and go in the morning.....or jump off and go home at the end of the day.........Technicaly......you are not responsible for compensating them for that time traveled.

I know of a guy that does that for one of the trips of a day.
