You get paid a set salary like an "exempt" salaried employee at any corporate job. Keep it simple/stupid way of doing things. Then you don't have to worry about when to release the parking brake and start the clock.
That's what minimum monthly guarantee is.
And I don't see how that would stop anyone from worrying about on time performance (releasing the parking brake). You would still need to be out at the appropriate time..
