It is the drivers responsibility to keep track of his/her hours, don't get yourself in a situation.

there are a lot of different things floated here. there are two issues, your knowing when you are out of hours, and when you can return to work after resetting the clock, and ups knowing.
you already know how the hours stack up. and ups should. if they dont, its their problem, not yours. after all, the management cutbacks have yet to take place, so they still have an overabundance of paper pushers to keep track of the hours issues.
so the real issue to be asked is do you want to watch the game or not?

I would work tonight, and inform them as I clocked out that you can't make the Sunday start because of the 34 hour reset. Let them call up a coverguy to get Sunday done......

It`s O9`s job to know how many hours of service he has available,which he does.As long as he knows when his reset time is and does not try and work before that time then he has done his part in managing his hours. If management choose to work him tonight to the extent that he will not have reset before his next start work time that is their choice. Happens all the time.

I don't know the rules that govern your available hours, but I would guess the onus is on UPS to keep track of them. They are the ones making the schedule, so my hunch is they should know everyones available hours and should plan accordingly.
I could be 100% incorrect but my perception is you can choose which ever scenario you want.
The question then becomes: do you want to make them scramble at the last minute and piss off your managers? I would guess a big YA
, LOL.That being said, I dont know what the hell I'm talking about
,Good luck,

Technically, we are guaranteed 8 hours. I am sure the union and my steward would tell me I did the wrong thing.
I'm pretty sure the union would have wanted me to work my full Friday shift, and then not have worked Sunday.
But that would have lost me a lot of money.

You don't have to reset. Over peak I got off work on Sat am around 9:30 and started Sunday at 9:00 am. My regular job starts at 8:45pm. Because I didn't have the 34 hr restart, I just had to make sure I didn't exceed 60 hrs at anytime in the previous 7 so I kept track of my hours to make sure I had 3 1/4 hours at the end of the previous day so I could start work.
What I would do was check the summary page on the log on the ivis after midnite. If you do that it will tell you how many hours for the previous 7 and how many hours you have available that day. If it said I had only 8 hrs I had to make sure I was off the clock at 5:45 am so I had enough hours to come in that evening at 8:45.
It doesn't seem to be the most accurate timekeeper though. The ivis seems to round to the nearest 15min which is what you would do with a paper log, sometimes Ivis will say I worked say 47 1/2 hrs and I'll get paid for 47.65 or something like that. If I'm using the Ivis to keep track of the hours I just leave a little cushion and don't try to work 60 hrs exactly. (not that the opportunity happens too much lately). I
As long as you don't:
A: Exceed 60 hr in a 7 day period. (because that is the way you employer counts, if your employer used 70 hrs in an 8 day period, that would apply)
B: Be "on-duty" more than 14 hours in a 24 hr period.
You're good to go.
You can don't need 34hrs off. The 34 hr rule only resets the clock. If you worked 4 14hr days, and 1 4 hr day = 60hrs, then you were off 34 you would reset.
concievably you could work 7 days a week, 8.57 hr days (equals just under 60hrs)
365 days a year and never need the 34 hr restart. Or 6 days, 10 hrs a day.

I could be wrong, but I don't see him getting paid OT for the sunday tour of duty. He is working a sun through thursday job. Let us know how you got paid for it , over when you get your paycheck a week and half from now.
I usually work Sun thru Thurs. Sunday is always time and a half.
