# Driver & Owner Payroll Driver & Owner payroll configuration depends on the **Fleet Type** set under Company Settings → Additional tab. Based on this setup, users can define how drivers are paid across three scenarios: *** ### How It Works 1. Navigate to **Settings → Company** 2. In the **Additional** tab, choose a **Fleet Type** (Solo, Team, or Combined) 3. Switch to the **Payroll** tab 4. Configure payment rules for drivers and owners based on the selected type > The system uses the selected Fleet Type to activate the correct payroll UI and logic.

Figure: Fleet type selector in the Additional tab controls payroll setup options.

*** ### Solo Setup * Pay Period and Ending Day * Per Mile, Per Stop, and Flat Rate * Same rate toggle for empty vs loaded miles * Driver and Owner commission %

*Figure: Solo driver payroll setup with unified rate.*

*** ### Team Setup * Independent rates for Empty vs Loaded miles * Shared Pay Period and End Day * Per Stop, Flat Rate, Commissions per role

*Figure: Team payroll setup with separate mileage rates.*

*** ### Combined Setup * Solo and Team rates both appear * Each has its own Per Mile, Per Stop, and Flat Rate * Same rate toggle and separate commissions for: * Solo Driver * Team Driver * Owner

*Figure: Combined setup where loaded and empty miles share the same rate.*

*Figure: Combined setup with different rates for loaded and empty miles.*

*** ### Best Practices * Use consistent Pay Periods across all fleet types * Align commission logic with department pay type setup * Enable “Auto Invoicing” to streamline payout calculations > 🛠 Tip: Combined setup is ideal for companies running both Solo and Team drivers under the same roof. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
