    Default Minimum Wage for Drivers

    I work at a very small pizza place in MO and was wondering if drivers were supposed to be payed min. wage. When the min wage went up, only the people inside's hourly rate went up, but drivers make $1 less than that and there are MANY days when they don't even make min. wage, but the managers have to make them claim $1 for every hour that they are there so that it looks like they are getting min wage + tips. I was told that this is not even legal, but I have also heard that since they get tips.

    I am a manager and I got yelled at the other day because someone has been foretting to put in the drivers $1 for every hour that they're there. She was really upset saying that if they didn't match, they would get in Federal trouble.

    Any thoughts??

    If the drivers are entitled to minimum wage, you need to pay them minimum wage. Check with your state department of labor.

    Default Re: Minimum Wage for Drivers

    Are they paid for the # of hrs. they are at work or by the # of trips they make (trip rate plan)? Some delivery drivers can be exempt from min. wage if paid on a trip rate plan. You might go ahead & contact the Mo. DOL to be sure they are being paid correctly. It seems from your post they are being paid for the # of hrs. they are there (the # of hrs. worked).
