keeping job at UPS

[belljar1]

I have a question about being convicted of a felony while working at UPS. If you are a long time employee and you are convicted of a felony involving possession of drugs with intent to distribute, can you still keep your job at UPS. Or will the company find out and take steps to terminate?
Thank you for your reply.

Yes. But only of you're in management.

 

[nWo]

Are you going to continue to show up to work after convicted?

 

[Brown Biscuit]

They do not care.

It might depend if you are part of an air hub or not. Where I'm at, every five years or so we have to undergo a new background check. They even do digital finger print scans. A felony conviction is going to show up on those. Since air hubs are considered federal property, legally you couldn't work there or be around any kind of postal.

If you go to prison then yes you will lose your job.
If you don’t go to jail and they don’t find out then no you will keep your job

I think going to jail and not being able to work keeps you from keeping the job

We had a guy once that was sentenced to six weeks for a Drunk driving charge.
He used all of his vacation time and served it.
I’d see him picking up garbage on a work crew during the week and I’d always blow the horn and wave

Don't worry @BSWALKS, "the @Covemastah incident" is a tale we all know well, it will live on long after the post was deleted.

If you have a good attorney you can serve jail time on your scheduled days off.

So 3 months in jail is 90 days or 45 weekends.

As long as the drugs weren’t on company property, you aren’t making deals at work, you’re not getting high before work, and you’re still showing up for work, it’s none of the company’s concern

so UPS has no problems with keeping employees who are convicted of a felony as long as they can show up for the job? So if they only get probation, they can still remain employed, but what happens if they have to serve 6 months in jail?

The real question is, what is the penalty for a felony conviction involving possession of drugs with intent to distribute? This is some serious stuff. Might differ by state.

So you think you will get 6 months?

Well if you’re going to miss significant time of work that’s a different story. But if you can make it to work it won’t be a problem. Contact a lawyer asap like @nWo said and try to get a work release program

The union will provide you with a lawyer. Don’t waste time on this and fight hard to keep your job, I would be calling your BA now and ask him about a laywer if you don’t have one already, and explain your situation to him

The union is not going to give you a lawyer
