As with the construction industry, who have their own sets of rules and regulations to abide by with regards to employment legislation, so, too, does the transport industry, the unique user of the tachograph system.
This long standing tracking method not only records a driver’s hours worked and calculates pay, but is also the key transport industry tool to assure the driver’s health and safety and that of the driver’s passengers if applicable.
External HR payroll companies require sector specific expertise and experience when dealing with transport industry clients, as their employees, whether transporting passengers by bus or coach, or goods by lorry or HGV, all use tachographs under EU directive. Drivers’ tachographs determine their time behind the wheel, working on other aspects of the business and legal periods of rest.
Such outsourced payroll services are obliged to have full conversancy with both analogue, the traditional stylus based recording system, and digital, the more modern computerised system now compulsory for newly built vehicles.
