One consequential term often found in transportation contracts, as well as many other types of contracts, is indemnity. Although it may seem routine, contractors should understand what indemnity provisions require, and what risks exist with such terms.

In school bus operations, most employees are part-time drivers that do not exceed 40 hours of work in a workweek; however, nearly all contractors have some full-time staff that work 40 hours per week.

Accordingly, contractors may decide to pay these employees two different rates of pay, depending on the job being performed. In such cases, there are special considerations for overtime. Continue reading to learn more on overtime requirements, and how overtime works when an employee has different rates of pay.
