Driver Payroll and Commission Tracking for Limo Companies

Track driver earnings, commissions, tips, and deductions across bi-monthly periods — with an approval workflow before payroll is finalized.

DrivOQ's driver payroll module tracks the financial side of every driver's work period. Payroll is organized into bi-monthly periods, and the system aggregates completed trips, commission amounts based on configurable rates, tips collected, and any applicable deductions to produce a per-driver earnings summary for each period.

The approval workflow keeps payroll accurate: payroll records start as drafts that can be reviewed and adjusted before being approved. Once approved, the record is locked and can be used as the basis for payment. Managers with owner or admin roles can generate payroll records, review them, and mark them approved or paid.

Payroll records are linked directly to completed bookings, so every line item is traceable. Driver-level commission rates can be set individually, allowing different arrangements for contractors versus employees or senior versus junior drivers.

Frequently asked questions

How often is payroll generated?

Payroll is organized into bi-monthly periods (1st through 15th and 16th through end of month). You generate payroll records manually at the end of each period, review them, and approve before processing payment.

Can I set different commission rates for different drivers?

Yes. Each driver's profile includes a commission rate field that is used when calculating their earnings for each pay period. This lets you set individual arrangements based on your agreements with each driver.

Are tips from bookings automatically included in payroll?

Yes. Tip amounts from completed bookings are aggregated into the driver's payroll record for the period. Gratuity amounts are tracked separately from commission so you can report on them independently.
