No holiday pay for you. While I'm at it, what other company requires that you work both the day before a holiday and the day after in order to receive pay for the holiday? I fully realize their intent, but what if you are legitimately sick? You eat a day of pay, and it goes in Fred's pocket. So fair.

You know, thats the way its always been.....Not saying its right but you always a those few that friend### it up for the rest of us by calling in sick....

Easy, if you are legitimately sick, bring a doctors note and there is not a damn thing they can do about it but pay you.

Doesn't work that way, note or not you don't get paid.....

I think that is fairly standard.

 

[whenIgetthere]

I think that is fairly standard.

Been the standard for every company I've worked for. Not saying it's right, but pretty standard from my experiences.

Even though I don't work for Express, we have the same policy. I have been sick several times after a holiday over the years and always got paid. Maybe it's a salaried thing, but it's up to the manager where I work.

 

[CJinx]

Strange, I've never heard of that happening before. I do have a co-worker that happens to miraculously get sick a day or two before and/or after a holiday or scheduled vacation. HR got involved with that and now she only gets sick before/after every *other* holiday/vacation. Wow! A visit from HR and you get sick half as often!
The same employee needs to go home sick whenever they get disciplined by a manager, or takes a sick day when their adult children get the sniffles...

If you don't get paid for holidays because you were sick, you can thank clowns like this.

UPS does. If you call in sick they won't pay you without a doctor's note.

 

[HomeDelivery]

sometimes they have that "montly visitor"... I volunteered to cover for that one person who's meds didn't help that month & management reduced the load ~20% because of the late dispatch. Win-win for everyone

 

[MrFedEx]

OK. What if you call in sick the work day prior to a paid hoilday OR the work day after. Will they still pay you...provided you get a note?

If you provide a note they will pay you.

 

[MrFedEx]

If you provide a note they will pay you.

OK, there's the difference. FedEx won't pay you even if you have a doctor's note.

At last station about 6 weeks ago they started requiring a doctor's note ANYTIME you called in sick.

Hmmm. I don't think they can do that per policy, but that won't stop them from trying.

I think it falls under the all encompassing "station needs".

Oh, that explains it..LOL.

Remember, Uncle Fredward gets to make the rules as he goes along, and then not follow those rules because of "operational needs". Van, was your MD's initials TR?
