I have been discussing this with co-workers. How is our raise going to be split up? It's supposed to be split evenly half in August and the other half in February. With this raise being .75 are we getting 37 and a half cent on 8-1? I have a feeling we're going to get screwed somehow.
Amount of raise on 8-1-09?

If you are worried about not getting 1/2 of a cent raise (or 5 cents) until 6 months from now, I think you may already be screwed.

...OR he simply has a very precise budget and the $.005 will really throw a wrench in the works.
Thats like 2 pennies every 40 hours. This company is always taking advantage of people.
2 pennies is not even counting what we would lose if we get overtime. We should all file on this!

That 1/2 cent per hour + the overtime rate x the amount of employees affected x 6 months = BIG BUCKS to UPSThats like 2 pennies every 40 hours. This company is always taking advantage of people.

Hoax/danny/tie, please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't UPS have 2 banks to process their payroll, one on each coast? I have been told that they pay the employees on the West Coast from the East Coast bank and vice versa and make money on the interest that accumulates as the checks are processed. Is this true or was someone having some fun at my expense?

I'm guessing that 99% of all employees are on direct deposit. I am, and my money is deposited into my account before I even show up to work on Friday morning.
I just asked a simple question....sorry
It is a small sum of money I agree, I was just curious about how they were going to split it.

it will probably be .37 now and .38 in feb 2010. This split wage was the biggest concession the union gave up in to, but in all honesty, any raise now is better than none! True that UPS is saving millions, probably billions this way. I will be the last person to complain about having to wait for that half a cent

Hi Lou, yes, it is a simple question. The answer is:
- Aug. 1, 2009 raise = $0.375/hour
- Feb. 1, 2010 raise = $0.375/hour
If you're worried about being "screwed", don't worry about the half-cent. There are bigger and better ways to be "screwed", IF YOU LET IT HAPPEN.
