■I want to hire an executive driver from outside! What are the working hours of an executive driver?
Many people are considering hiring an executive driver to support their busy daily schedule. Have you ever wondered what the working hours are when you actually hire an executive driver? In this article, we will answer such questions by introducing the working hours when hiring an executive driver and the benefits of outsourcing an executive driver.
1. What are the working hours of an executive driver?
Unlike drivers in other industries, executive drivers have intermittent working hours, and their schedules are greatly influenced by the executives they are in charge of. Many people are wondering how working hours are calculated and managed. Drivers who work exclusively for executives wait until the next trip except when the executives are traveling. This waiting time is also considered working time, and they are paid. During times other than driving, they check traffic information and normal congestion information for the route they are traveling, and make advance preparations to ensure the safety of the executives and take them to the next location on time. Especially for executives who travel long distances, there are often fixed departure times such as bullet trains and airplanes waiting next, so there is a lot to prepare even while waiting.
The working hours of executive drivers are basically set in the same way as regular employees. Therefore, the monthly salary structure is often stable. However, busy executives often travel outside of the designated working hours, and as a result, the working hours of executive drivers tend to be irregular.
2. What is the exemption system for intermittent work?
In principle, a separate allowance is to be paid for work outside of the designated working hours. However, unlike clerical work, the work of executive drivers tends to be influenced by the schedule of the executive who employs them. For example, there are irregular schedules such as golfing and dining out, and there are many cases where the transportation is outside the designated hours. In addition, executive drivers spend a lot of time waiting, and the working style is different from that of regular employees, and the working hours are often intermittent.
There are many cases where the question of whether the work of executive drivers outside the designated hours is considered overtime is raised, so it is necessary to carefully check the labor regulations based on the actual work content and working hours. For intermittent working hours such as the driver's waiting time, if the employer receives permission from the administrative agency, the regulations on working hours, breaks, holidays, etc. will not apply.
3. Advantages of outsourcing executive drivers
There are many advantages to outsourcing executive drivers rather than hiring them directly. Here, we will explain the advantages of outsourcing executive drivers.
3-1. Immediately effective
When outsourcing, the appeal is that the driver can be immediately effective from the day the employment begins. Drivers working at a dispatch company also have the know-how of executive drivers. If you select one person from among the company's employees, it will take time to accumulate know-how because many of them have no experience working as drivers. In addition, if you directly apply to hire an executive driver, it will take time and effort to educate them through training and other means. Outsourced drivers can minimize the preparation period and work smoothly in the field to support executives.
3-2. Cost reduction
Training drivers in-house will cost money for training. In addition, if you hire a new driver, it will cost money and time for job hunting and interviews. By outsourcing, you can hire professional drivers registered with a dispatch company. In addition, you can also contract for a limited period, such as only during busy periods, so it is possible to reduce overall costs.
Let's hire an executive driver
Executive drivers have the same working hours as regular employees. The type of work is often irregular, and permission from government agencies must be obtained to exclude overtime pay such as overtime. However, by outsourcing an executive driver, you can gain many benefits, such as clarifying this point before signing a contract and reducing costs. Why not consider hiring a driver as a powerful helper for busy executives?
