Sam, when I see someone turn in their form, either I pay them immediately, or I leave the topic unread until I'm ready to pay. I have a special routine that I use when doing checkbooks. It involves 4 tabs (3 lately, because of a lack of charter routes, but that's changing!). The leftmost is the driving record, which I inspect for the time the forms were turned in. Then the checkbook. Then Pending Bonuses (usually). Then Last Transaction, where I write one name at a time as I pay (when I finish the last payment, I immediately write down the time that I saved the last checkbook). From left to right, it goes in the order that I use the tab.
Kyle, these are your first words of training. ;)
Anyway, it would be very difficult to pay sub drivers if they happened to switch buses one week. It's a LOT simpler to look at one post, and see all the times that the driver was driving.
I guess I'm saying that we should stick with what we're doing. ::) (But you can change it as soon as Kyle is in charge of the payments. :P)
