Parking tickets are against the registered owner. Moving violations are against the driver.

So in the cases where the drivers don't own the delivery vehicles, just deduct the fines from whoever was driving it at the time of the ticket.

I admittedly have no idea how these situations are handled by accounting, but that seems like it would be the solution to me.

The solution is the company just pays the ticket. End of story.

The solution should be repeat offenses equals harsher consequences.

You are still blaming the laborer for management's policies re (not) allocating sufficient time for correct work.

Or the city's completely insufficient parking situation.

But yes, the company looks at this like so:

* Option 1. Park in front of the building (illegally) and deliver the package. 2% chance of getting a $200 parking ticket.

* Option 2. Driver finds a legal spot, average time: 15 minutes. Add 20 minutes of walking time to the delivery. Requirement: 8x more delivery vehicles required to service the city.

Option 1 is much cheaper.
