Death In Immediate Family.

My Condolences to you as well.
He's more like a Father to me. I do my job correctly everyday, I pick up tons of slack from every loader on my belt everyday. I would consider myself a good employee. All because he is my GGP on paper, doesn't mean he's more to me than that.
I would appreciate if you stop adding negativity to the thread by dismissing yourself from it.

Very sorry to read you were dishonest in your naming who had died in your report to UPS. This indicates you had some prior knowledge of how the contract reads and made a conscience decision to misinform them. Your personal opinion of your relationship with your great grand father will not be a consideration if UPS learns of the deception. They deal very harshly with lying. Sad you took that route.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
The OP doesn't understand we think he has every right to take time to grieve. However they should not be paid to do it. They also don't understand ups could care less how close u were to someone.
Just because I'm closer to my best friend than anyone else in my life doesn't mean I think I should get 4 paid days off if he passes.
If UPS doesn't care, why should we all the time?

, but there are plenty of times UPS screws us, and lies to us, and is dishonest with us.

What do you mean "If UPS doesn't care"? They care very much when they pay an employee based on fraud. I fear you have greatly compounded your problems.
I clearly meant cares " about us " as people, as a breathing species.

You shouldn't. It's a job to pay the bills. If ups is going to be a career for u the sooner u learn this the better.
However not caring and being dishonest are two different things.

Is the 4 days for a full-time driver the same nationally, or does it change by local? The reason I ask is that my grandmother passed away in November on a late Sunday night/early Monday morning and the funeral was on Wed. I was out Monday through Wed, but only got paid for two days. Depending on who you ask, i hear we get paid for either 2 or 3 days, but not four. And you only get the third day of pay if you travel. I've filed a grievance on it but it still hasn't been heard. I also asked for penalty pay since its been 5 months since it happened. What should I expect? Sorry for the hijack.
You know what everyone you're all right. I should be listening to you all. I'm sorry.
I'm going to go in tonight, and let my supervisor know that I believe I said grand father, when it was my great grand father.
Hopefully, this will grant me my respect back with you guys here which is more important than a few bucks.
It was honestly not planned or done on purpose.
My apologies.

Unfortunately, your supe will have to report it up the chain of command or he puts his job in jeopardy. And when someday, your grandfather passes, and you ask for time off, the truth will be known. At that point everyone who had knowledge of the "mistake" will be at risk. Deception opens a nasty can of worms.
I never met my grand father. I never even met my father. That is why my great grand father is more of both to me. It may be stealing in your eyes I guess in a certain way, but then again, that is who is he to me, so that is what I said. I guess they would need birth certificates.
Take care everyone.

You said you didn't do this on purpose?

Stealing is stealing. It's black and white.
