more work same $ - legal to pay driver by the load in NJ?

I was kind of thinking on the same lines as rookie.
So my other question would be. How many hours a week is he actually working now? And could he do 18 loads in the 50 hours he is being paid for?
If he is an actual employee. Then they can technically put down any terms for work they want, up to a point.
But he must be compensated for the work he is doing. So if he is working more than 50 hours now, then yes, there is something he can do. Since that is illegal under the labor laws. That he falls under as an hourly employee.

 

it sounds kinda funny. sounds like sallary $1500 but recording it as hourly.
I am on sallary and my time sheets will show both reg and overtime but pay is the same. requierd 48 but often more like 60 same pay. but god forbid i put in only 45 lol

in todays workforce more and more is put on us. for the same pay. it is everywhere. $1500 a week is darn good money

 

Not if you're working 18 hours a day and 6 or 7 days a week!

 

U can quit! What else can u do?

 

still should be up to dot 70hrs in 8 days 34hr reset correct? or does that not apply to local runs?

i useually work 6 days some longer than others 8-14 hrs 65 hrs and make half that. at least truckn i can earn a liveing I hope. I have not had a raise in 3 yrs. time for a change

 

Welcome to the recession. Do more with the same or less.

 

Local drivers under the 100 mile exemption have a few different rules.
One of these would be the reason for the hourly pay.
Because for these drivers they have to show a time card that does not allow the driver to drive more than 12 hours per day 70 hours per 6 days. They have a 24 hour restart.
This is why many local company's will run Monday-Friday and half a day Saturday.
