As each container move is entered or changed, a "Needs Settlement" flag is set on the record. When the
driver settlements cycle is performed, all items are passed into the settlements work file.
The pay rates for each move are computed and optional fuel surcharges can be applied automatically.
Recurring and periodic
deductions
can also be applied for items like radio, cell phone, damage or repairs.
These generated settlements are then placed into a work file where any
additional corrections or modifications
can be applied before printing the settlement and
posting to the accounts payable files.
Checks are produced on a vendor basis. If a vendor has multiple drivers, the amounts
are combined for disbursement by the vendor. Settlements can also be deferred to the
next pay cycle manually, or automatically in the cases where deductions are greater than
the pay.
