It may be against a company policy, but it is not illegal or criminal.

iit would be nice to tip them but if you're not satisfied with their performance then you wouldn't have to

You should only tip when you pick up your car. Actually, I should say you should always tip the person returning your car, and it is ok to tip the person parking your car but that isn't necessary. The recommended tip is $1-2 for both parking and retrieving your car.

Yes they should.  They are officers to, no matter what their position is. They are still wearing a badge and they are still there for our protection. They have to know the law to so shur they should be able to give out tickets.  Be easy on them, just imagine being outside in the strange weather to give out tickets because of people parking wrong. Sorry to hear about the ticket. At least it doesn't show on the driving record.

10 - 15%, 20% if bad weather, etc.  $1.00 at minimum.\n\nThey will remember your tip the next time they deliver to you.

to all you people who have never worked in the service industry, if you have to ask if you're tipping too much, you're probably not tipping enough.  These people rely on the tips, which is customary in our culture, to make a living.  Just because your food came out 3 minutes late you're going to dock the tip?  How would you feel if your boss docked your pay cause you walked into his office three minutes after he felt like getting a document, or report.  15% should be an absolute minimum.  20% is a fair tip for decent seervice.  If I get great service, i'll tip 25-30%.  Stop being cheap.

YES you can.  Dont worry.  I remember student teaching with a girl who had a DUI...Lets say, she got the job after graduating.  So a 50 check?  Who cares! Dont worry!!!! Just use this incident as a reminder to take care of your finances as well as you probably do your students!  :)

I tip waitresses and cab drivers only. If service is good, I have been known to tip 100%. If service is not good, I tip nothing. Tips are not a right and should not be automatic.\n\nI do not tip anyone else. As a matter of fact, any place I go to that has one of those "Tips, please" jars, I complain to management.

Dispatch for what type of transportation? You talk about pizza delivery, and for that I can not help you. You also talk about a broker and owner operators, which is heavy haul trucking. For this you will need your DOT authority. You can not "just dispatch", you will need to operate under your own, or another person or company's authority. If you want your own operating authority, there are many services that will help you get this for a reasonable fee. You will still need the money to pay the owner operators, advances for fuel, insurance ($750,000 to $1,500,000, depending on what type of operation you will run) and various other things. You REALLY need to know the business before you jump in. It has a very high failure rate for several reasons. 1. Under capitalized 2. This business is full of individuals that do not operate ethically. If you are not careful, your money will be gone, and they will still be operating, with someone else they can take advantage of.

Yes, in most cases. In most situations your pay grade depends on performance. However you can NEVER go below the minumum wage, if so contact your local labor board.

On a personal level I do not tip if a service charge is added to the bill. The amoult you tip is up to you, if you think the level of service was good and you think that the server warrents a tip then do so. If the service was bad then there no reason why you should tip.

you are a little vague, but driver safety should be first. i worked for a cab company for 5 years, and it was always this way. corner calls after dark were optional, and if there is an address that is known to have problems, or if a cab driver picked up someone and was robbed, it was usually boycotted. any night that a driver had problems in a bad neighborhood, cabs were banned from pickups for the rest of the night. cooperate with the cops, and other cab drivers. if your driver gets robbed, call the other company's, and ask for the same, so you can warn your drivers. have a fair and firm dispatch policy...if you 'feed' certain drivers all the good calls, you will end up not being able to keep drivers. if you don't have good drivers, your business will suffer. don't overbook your timecalls. if you have twenty people asking for 6am pickups, and you know you only have ten drivers, or less, be honest. tell them at least that you will put them down, but don't guarantee it. keep a record of all calls. we have a time clock, and each call is written on a little card with a hole punched in the top. the pickup and destination are written down. punch the time you get the call, the time driver calls in picked up, and calls in vacant. this is good for safety, you know where your drivers are and about how long before they are available for another call. it helps if the cops come around, or if drivers complain that someone else got their call. it also helps if someone gets kidnapped,like i did...knowing where i was supposed to be headed, where i had picked up and what time, the dispatcher got a clue that there was a problem, and called the cops.

That would be an illegal garnishment of wages/salary, thus subject to a court order; not a bosses whim or any such contractual obligation. I can not believe the ignorance of some of the answers to this question. It would be a null and void contract, if you signed any such document, so you may wish to contact the proper state/municipal authorities.

All service industry people upon completing the task. The exception are some who get tipped at holiday time - a yearly bonus. Many of those I rarely see, like the paper delivery person, the gardner. Wait staff, hotel staff, airport staff, (curbside), hairdressers, manicurists, delivery people, valets all get tips upon service. Using the excuse that their employers should pay them more in order to get out of tipping is rude and illogical. If they were paid that much, we would all be paying for it anyway because it would be built into the price, so why not give people incentive to give you better service? If they were paid the same no matter what - good service or bad - what do you think would happen? How would we reward those who are so very good at their jobs?
