Setting Your Drivers’ Payout

Updated today

You might follow the same payout system for all your drivers, or you may rely on different payout structures depending on each driver’s role or operational responsibilities.

FleetRunnr fully supports this diversity by allowing you to configure individual payout setups for each driver based on multiple parameters.


Where to Configure Payouts

  • From your portal’s Dashboard, click Fleet.

  • Inside the Fleet module, use the left-side navigation menu and select Drivers to access your drivers page.


How to Configure Driver Payouts

There are two ways to configure a driver’s payout:

1- Using the top bulk actions bar

2-Using the driver-specific actions menu


1- Using The Top Bulk Actions Bar

This method allows you to edit the payout for one or multiple drivers simultaneously using the top bulk actions bar.

Quick Steps

  • Select the corresponding drivers(s) using the checkbox on the left.

  • At the top of the list, you will see the bulk action options (Check-in, Check-out).

  • Right next to these options, you’ll find the three vertical dots button.

  • Click it and choose “Set Payout” from the menu that appears.

  • In the right-side panel that appears, configure the payout for the selected driver(s).

  • When you’re done configuring the payout, click Save at the bottom right side of your screen.

Note: When bulk-editing payouts for multiple drivers, the payout configuration window will appear with all fields blank (this is expected). Any values you enter in this window will be applied uniformly to all selected drivers whose payout settings are being edited in bulk.


2-Using The Driver-Specific Actions Menu

This method allows you to set and edit the payout for one driver at a time using the driver-specific actions menu.

Quick Steps

  • Within your drivers list, locate the driver whose payout you want to configure .

  • Click the three horizontal dots located on the far right side of that driver’s row.

  • Select Set Payout.

  • In the right-side panel that appears, configure the payout for the selected driver.

  • When you’re done configuring the payout, click Save at the bottom right side of your screen.


Available Payout Methods

You can set a driver’s payout based on one or multiple parameters, depending on how you want to compensate your drivers. These parameters include:

  • Fixed Rate – These are payouts given to your drivers on a daily basis. The value you set here is paid for every day the driver works (per day), regardless of the number of shipments completed.

  • Per Shipment – This is the amount you pay your driver for each shipment they complete or handle, regardless of how many packages it contains.

  • Per Hour – The value you set in this field is the amount you pay your driver for one hour of work. The system then multiplies this hourly rate by the total number of hours the driver worked, calculated from their check-in and check-out record.

  • Per Kilometer (Per Km) – The value you set in this field is the amount you pay your driver for every kilometer driven.

Note:

When configuring the Per Kilometer parameter, you can enable the “Include Driving Distance” option. This would allow the system to also pay your driver for the distance they travel to reach the pickup location of a shipment when they are not already at that location.

For example, if a driver is at a different area and must cover additional kilometers to arrive at the pickup stop, those extra kilometers will be included in the payout calculation.


Important Notes

  • The currency displayed in the payout configuration window is always based on the default currency you set in your account’s Preferences.

  • A driver’s payout can be configured using one or multiple parameters, depending on how you want to compensate your drivers operationally.

  • The payout information you set for your drivers can be updated at any time when needed by accessing the same Set Payout window you originally used.

  • The input shown on the Pending page inside the Agent Billing category of the Accounting module is based on the driver’s payout configuration you set here.
