Thanks for the replies guys.
Firstly to Helen yes I have now got new staff, I have got 2, my son and another lad working together and things are looking good, Hopefully taking on another soon with a general manager so i can concentrate on bringing in new work
The main reasons for the tracker are
1/ As someone already suggested to work out any weak spots in income ie travelling times etc, as i work in a rural area this is an area where i could improve productivity, especially in charging a premium for travelling time.
2/ I want to get to know the working practices of my staff , how many breaks and how long, i have said they can take breaks when ever they want as long as the work gets done, I also pay form the minute they turn up to the minute they go home as long as they play fair.
3/ I let the lads use the van to go the gym after work as long as they pay the mileage, and one of the lads takes the van home in the evening, but this is on the stipulation that is all its for and they dont go off nightclubbing etc. With the lads both being 19 years old anything can happen so just want to be kept in the picture.
I trust my staff (As much as you can trust 19 year olds) but just want to moniter my vehicles movements
