Applying a value to different employee

[Rhodestransit]

Im not sure if this will make sense
I have drivers that driver their normal bus runs, each run has an agreed amount of time the run takes to complete, each driver is on a different pay rate depending on years of service, sometimes a driver may work another run.
I want to know if I can have the sheet check for each drivers name and where it appears on the sheet, then apply the relevant numbers of hours to that driver.
Example c3 has a value of 3 hours so what ever name is in that cell they would be paid 3 hours.
we have around 600 cells each with a different value, and 200 employees that could be in any of those cells.
I am really stuck on this one.

A further embellishment I would like to add,
If the same person were in cells C3 and G3 can I add a value of 2
so to have it auto check for the names in columns and if they match add 2
I would need it to check this against all the drivers on my list.
