Here’s one more use for payroll data, besides paying people of course…
Does your trucking company recognize drivers that reach certain mileage milestones? If you are tracking it each pay period, you can having a running total at your fingertips. Congratulating a driver for topping a million miles in the company newsletter or meeting makes everyone feel good. It’s pretty easy to know exactly when he or she gets to that mark if you are keeping track the whole way. If you’re not keeping track of the miles driven, the driver will probably think they gets there sooner than they do. You can also post a miles driven leaderboard to everyone can see who is getting close to another milestone.
I know this doesn’t save a comapny from financial ruin but it’s a really easy way to recognize a driver for a well-earned achievement.
Do you have any other non-payroll uses for your payroll data? Please comment on them below.
I am also looking for webinar ideas that I can present in late August. We covered the HIRE Act in June and Health Care in July. Please email me at mritzema@truckingpayroll.com with any suggestions for a webinar or a guest speaker. Thanks!
