My installers get paid for time on the job site, no travel time unless the project is far. They also drive personal vans/trucks.
My service tech drives a company van and gets to take it home. I have always thought he should get paid when he gets to the first service call, and leaves the last service call. The trick is our office is on the outskirts of the city, and he happens to live next to the office. He also needs to come to the office frequently to stage equipment, pick stuff up, etc.
When do techs go on the clock?
What about washing the van? Is that something they should do off the clock? I have always felt like a take-home vehicle is a huge bonus, the least a tech could do is take an hour every week or two and wash it. I know I can not enforce the off the clock washing but is there a way to do this without having to pay a tech wage to wash a van?
