That is the way it should be,but always be exact in the diad,be honest and like tooner said,you can explain to them that it took 12 minutes to take 15 boxes up 2 flights of stairs and in her case,deaking out murderers.Where I am at we only get docked for the time spent on our lunch. So if you take 10 minutes lunch you only get 10 minutes taken out.
Bonus Center here... I guess this is a rare thing, but we have a center full of drivers that run under daily...The fastest guy, who also has the best time study had over 4 hrs of bonus one day... he had a plan of 12.25 or something and did it in 8hrs...that's an extreme example, but he gets a 8.5 = 10 hr plan daily, and he's done by 3:00 almost every day..

A Bonus center is sort of like a carnival midway. The games are all rigged, and most are impossible to win; but every once in awhile some lucky stiff has to get a big stuffed rabbit so that the carnies can hoot and holler and point out the "big winner" to everyone. That way, the suckers will think they can win too, and will keep playing.for you folks that have bonus centers, do you think its because the routes are set up well with good allowance, or do you have runners??

Isn't the bonus a dishonest system? Say you pick up 4000 smalls the OR may show you 4 hrs under when it actually only takes you 30min. to pick it up.
Bonus pays straight time only, not time and a half. Bonus hours do not count towards accrual of sick pay, vacations or pension contributions. Bonus is most certainly NOT in any contract, in fact it is nothing more than a cash bribe that the company pays the driver to falsify his time card by indicating that he took a lunch when in fact he worked off of the clock. The profit motive for UPS is obvious; if 9 drivers skip their lunch, that is one less route that is dispatched...one less package car to maintain and fuel...one less full time driver to provide a benefit package for. I.E is more than happy to see drivers making lots of "bonus".And why would the company pay all this bonus money (at time and a half I assume)? Why wouldn't they get rid of bonus to save a ton of money? If someone makes 3 hours a day, that's 15 hours at OT pay. That's like what $600 a week for this guy? Seems like somethings going to change when someone in i.e. takes notice, don't you think? The only reason I can see them staying with the bonus is if it's in the local contract.

I guess different areas of the country have different agreements about bonus. Here in Fla. bonus is paid as straight time. I try not to get any, I prefer overtimeBonus is time and a half. Only people that think it's not don't make bonus. Why would I work harder for straight time when I could work longer for time and a half. I would post my pay stub on here but I do not know how.
I believe you do get paid time and a half for bonus, where ever you are BrnMnstr. But I know for a fact that I do not.Bonus is time and a half. Only people that think it's not don't make bonus. Why would I work harder for straight time when I could work longer for time and a half. I would post my pay stub on here but I do not know how.
