Adult Day Care Transportation Assignment

Position: Adult Day Care Transportation Driver

Location: Brooklyn, New York

Schedule: Monday–Friday

Positions Available: 2

Regular Hourly Rate: $24.50/hour

Midday Break / Personal Time

The anticipated schedule contains a significant gap between the completion of the morning transportation assignment and the beginning of the afternoon transportation assignment.

The anticipated afternoon departure from the day care center is approximately 1:30 PM.

During the portion of the midday gap in which the driver is fully relieved from duty:

• The driver is not required to remain at the day care center.
• The driver is not required to remain with the KMT vehicle.
• The driver may use the time for personal purposes.
• The driver is not expected to perform work for KMT during this period.
• The driver must return and be ready to resume assigned duties at the designated afternoon reporting time.

The exact schedule and duration of the midday personal period will be communicated by KMT based on the finalized route.

Legally Required Additional Compensation

KMT will provide any additional compensation required by applicable wage and hour laws.

Where New York's spread-of-hours requirements apply, an employee whose workday spans more than 10 hours may be entitled to an additional hour of pay at the applicable minimum wage rate. New York Department of Labor guidance explains that the spread includes off-duty periods between shifts.

For 2026, the New York City minimum wage is $17.00 per hour.

Any legally required additional compensation will be separately identified in payroll records and will not be described as the driver's regular hourly rate or as a $17/hour “downtime rate.”

Return to Afternoon Assignment

The employee is responsible for returning and being ready to work at the assigned afternoon reporting time.

Once the employee resumes compensable work, the employee's regular rate of:

$24.50/hour

will apply to applicable working time.

Overtime

KMT will comply with applicable overtime requirements. Under New York guidance, most non-exempt employees must receive overtime at one and one-half times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, subject to applicable exemptions.

The employee's regular rate for this position is $24.50/hour, making the standard overtime rate $36.75/hour when overtime is legally required and calculated from that regular rate.

Employees are responsible for accurately recording all required working time.

Employees must not:

• Record time they did not work.
• Work off the clock.

Communication

Important Operational Note

The current route schedule is preliminary and subject to change. Pickup times are estimates and will be finalized after route and traffic validation. Afternoon drop-off sequencing will also be finalized based on the most efficient geographic routing and live traffic conditions.

KMT currently anticipates using three Sprinter vehicles for the operation to provide sufficient operational flexibility.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is reliable, patient, professional, safety-focused, and genuinely enjoys helping people. This position is best suited for a driver who understands that passenger transportation requires consistency, punctuality, communication, and professionalism every day.
