Pay Scenarios

The Logger's Edge provides the capability to pay employees or subcontractors in a number of different ways. For example, employees can be paid by the hour, but they can also be be paid by tree count, by the day, or by load weight, volume or count.

Pay Methods for Employees:

1.a.		Hourly, My Equipment
		I have an employee who gets paid by the hour. He operates one of my pieces of equipment.

1.b.		Hourly, Subcontractor (Rental) Equipment
		I have an employee who gets paid by the hour. He operates a piece of equipment I rent by the hour. Note: this feature may not be enabled for all users. It must be enabled by an administrator before it can be used.

1.c.		Hourly, My Equipment; Activity Differential
		I have an employee who gets paid by the hour. He operates one of my pieces of equipment. He gets paid a wage differential for certain activities

2a.		Tree Count
		I have an employee who gets paid based on the number of trees harvested. I collect data on the number of trees harvested by each employee. He may or may not also be paid by the hour.

2b.		Tree Volume
		I have an employee who gets paid based on the volume of trees harvested. I collect data on the number of trees harvested by each employee. He may or may not also be paid by the hour.

3.		Units of Activity (non-hourly)
		I have an employee who gets paid on a non-hourly basis, such as by the day (day rate) or by the amount of production (e.g. miles of road graded, number of posts placed or volume of chips chipped) or wage supplements for travel, fuel delivery or vehicle use. This category generally excludes pay based loads -- load-based pay is covered below (see item 6a & 6b).

4.		Payroll Supplements
		I have an hourly employee who also may get a supplement for travel, first aid training or use of his vehicle, etc.

5.		Employee Expenses
		I have an employee who needs to be paid supplemental amounts for miscellaneous items. Sometime they are for reimbursed expenses; others are just allowances for miscellaneous items.

6a.		Load Slips - Other Than Trucking
		I have an employee (not a truck driver) who is paid according to the weight or volume (or other attributes) of the loads that I deliver to the mill.

6b.		Load Slips - Truck Drivers
		I have an employee who is a truck driver who is paid according to the weight or volume of the loads (or other attributes, such as distance traveled) that I deliver to the mill.

Pay Methods for Subcontractors:

1.a.		Hourly, My Equipment
		I have an subcontractor who gets paid by the hour. He operates one of my pieces of equipment.

1.b.		Hourly, Contractor Equipment
		I have an subcontractor who gets paid by the hour. He operates his own equipment.

1.c.		Hourly, Subcontractor (Rental) Equipment
		I have an subcontractor (operator) who gets paid by the hour. He operates a piece of equipment that I rent by the hour. The important wrinkle in this circumstance is that the operator works for a different contractor than the contractor who owns the equipment. Note: this feature may not be enabled for all users. It must be enabled by an administrator before it can be used.

2a.		Tree Count
		I have an contractor who gets paid based on the number of trees harvested. I collect data on the number of trees harvested by each contractor on time slips. He may or may not also be paid by the hour.

2b.		Tree Volume
		I have an contractor who gets paid based on the volume of trees harvested. I collect data on the number of trees harvested by each contractor on time slips. He may or may not also be paid by the hour.

3.		Units of Activitiy (non-hourly)
		I have an contractor who gets paid on a non-hourly basis, such as by the day (day rate) or by the amount of production (e.g. miles of road graded, number of posts placed or volume of chips chipped) or wage supplements for travel, fuel delivery or vehicle use. This category generally excludes pay based loads -- load-based pay is covered below (see item 6a & 6b).

4.		Pay Supplements
		I have an hourly contractor who also may get a supplement for travel, first aid training or use of his vehicle, etc.

5.		Contractor Expenses - Payables
		I have a contractor or vendor who needs to be paid for miscellaneous expenses. Sometime they are for general business expenses (e.g. fuel, repairs, parts, gravel); others are just allowances for miscellaneous items.

6a.		Load Slips - Other Than Trucking - Single Contractor per Activity on a Block
		I have a contractor (not a trucker) who is paid according to the weight or volume (or other attributes) of the loads that I deliver to the mill. The contractor is the only contractor performing the activity for which he is paid in the block.

6b.		Load Slips - Other Than Trucking - Multiple Contractors per Activity on a Block
		I have multiple contractors (not truckers) who are paid according to the weight or volume (or other attributes) of the loads that I deliver to the mill. The contractors perform the same basic activity (loading, felling, skidding, etc.) and must be distinguished on a load-by-load basis. Each contractor uses their own equipment and operators.

7a.		Load Slips - Trucking
		I have a contractor who is a truck owner who is paid according to the weight or volume of the loads (or other attributes, such as distance traveled) that I deliver to the mill. The contractor always uses his own drivers. (This section also covers payment based on a percentage of load revenue.)

		How to Manage Overloads. I have trucks for which I need to track maximum load weights. I may also need to deduct their pay by the amount of the overload.

7b.		Load Slips - Trucking
		I have a contractor who is a truck owner paid according to the weight or volume of the loads (or other attributes, such as distance traveled) that I deliver to the mill. The contractor uses drivers employed by my company or another company other than his own to operate at least some of his trucks, and these drivers must be paid separately from the truck owner. (If the contractor always uses his own drivers, see 7a above.)
