Paid hours against the route budget, every day
Payroll is the biggest cost you can still change. Finance puts each day's paid hours beside the hours Amazon's routes budget for, prices the difference at each driver's own rate, and checks the weekly invoice against what the day should have paid.
A day at a time
The Day tab opens on yesterday: what the routes earned on your rate card, packages and the incentive for your tier, against labor, vans, rentals and your other costs. Step back a day at a time. A day built on an assumed number says which one.
Labor against the budget, driver by driver
- Paid hours: from your payroll punches, breaks taken out, the same hours Timecard Compliance shows.
- Budget: the hours each route is planned for, beside what was paid.
- Own rate: the difference costed at each driver's own rate, with your labor burden and overtime past your line.
- Out of pocket: rescuers, extras and ride-alongs with no route of their own, named.
Rounding, and the days it should not apply
If you round days up to ten hours, each short day's rounding is added to its cost. A day paid as worked hours only (PT), or one the app flags as one that could be, shows its rounding and leaves it out, so you see what the rule would have cost.
The weekly invoice, checked
- Line by line: routes by service type and block, late cancellations, packages and training, against what the week should have paid.
- To dispute: a short line is written up for you to paste into Amazon's own dispute form. Nothing is sent from the app.
- Vans: your fleet against each van type the invoice pays for.
Questions
Who can see pay amounts?
Admins, and any role the Role Manager gives Finance. Nobody else.
Where does each driver's rate come from?
Their own rate where you have set one, otherwise your base rate. Rates and costs are set by an admin.
Does it dispute the invoice for us?
No. It writes the line; management files the dispute on Amazon's page.
The rest of the day
See it on your own routes
Your first month of the whole platform is free, for everyone, whenever you start. A week of real routes, punches and write-ups is the only way to judge this, and that takes a month to build up.
