Survey: Do you prefer hourly or flat-rate pay?

Compensation is always a hot topic for technicians and shop management alike. But the flat rate vs. hourly discussion seems settled, right? Most commercial shops have chosen hourly and that's that. But because a shop's pay structure affects everything from labor rates and profits to a shop's ability to attract and retain quality techs, it's a topic that bears revisiting.

We're doing just that in our July print issue, but we want to hear what our readers think on the topic. So please take a few seconds to sound off and we will present the data next month. 

And if you have any thoughts on flat rate, hourly, or hybrid alternatives you need to get off your chest, shoot us an email at [email protected]. Thanks!
