I think the big issue is the guy wants my brother to take a van home and he can't. No room to park it. He can't use it to do anything but to and from work so he needs his own vehicle.
He would still have to go to the shop in the am and not get paid to pick up the other guy and then go to the job or jobs for the day. He is on his own time back to the shop at night and feels it's a fair compromise to be paid for the morning ride to the job from the shop.
leland, I like your thinking and would do the same in a second. You can't be taken advantage of and you must give and take.
Give and take is huge. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've spent 2 hrs going over stuff and been clocked out.Or have been compensated for time I did'nt think I had. All good.
But if brother has to go to the shop to pick up employee and STILL be on site at 7 AM, then what ever time he shows up at shop to pick up said employee, That is his start time. PERIOD. And said employees start time. PERIOD.
