Oh, I love the help!
Truth is, I'm fairly new to the EC game, third year, starting the fourth. I've been an ECN member almost as long as an EC!
I would like to implement your idea. I guess I have a problem planning that far ahead. Before, I worked alone and could "play it by ear", now with a helper, things have to be planned ahead or I'll be p!$$ing in the wind!
A minimum round trip to work is 50 miles (
country miles , mind you), I usually do closer to 85 (actual average from mileage spreadsheet). Lots of windshield time.
Can I legally pay my helper "by the job" or do I have to pay him for all hours - including 1-1/2 hours minimum travel round trip?
That could help a lot!
Allow me to add that I've considered having him meet me at the jobs driving his own car. It would solve several problems. But... he lives within 2 miles of me, and it makes no sense (on a moral level) to have two vehicles do the job of one.
I've only had three jobs in my hometown (not including doing stuff for Mom) so having him drive to jobs seems to be a waste. All of my other jobs are in the "city" and various and sundry rural locations.
