Driver Cost Increases Clause Samples

Driver Cost Increases. Commencing with the *, on the * following any increase in the labor and/or employee benefit costs with respect to the drivers delivering Merchandise from a Facility, the Stop Fee for Facilities will be adjusted to reflect * of the actual cost of any such increases. If A&P can demonstrate that any such driver cost increase is materially out of line with labor and employee benefits cost increases for truck drivers in the trucking industry in the Northeastern United States, then the parties will meet and in good faith determine whether * or some lower percentage is the fair and equitable percentage to use to adjust the Stop Fee. If there is a non-productivity related negotiated benefit that offsets a labor or employee benefit cost increase, then such negotiated benefit shall be factored into the determination of the cost increase used to adjust the Stop Fee. For example, if there is a wage increase, but a holiday is eliminated, then the cost benefit of the elimination of such holiday will be factored into the calculation of such wage increase. By way of further example, if there is an employee benefit cost increase, but eligibility requirements are changed, then the cost benefit of such eligibility requirements will be factored into the calculation of the employee benefit cost increase.
