Effective July 9th (UPS) can no longer subtract your break (40 minute lunch) from delivery drivers. So that is why they are so critical of the amount of time take to use the rest room,talking on the phone. This is a good thing for they drivers because no longer should you see anybody sitting around their facilities at 5:30 6:00 o'clock waiting to finish their break... Basically if you take your 40 minute break they will subtract it from you but if you dont they wont take 40 from you.... Thousands of drivers are unaware of this because management was informed several months ago that this would be happen.... Their are drivers catching on that they can now skip their break and get back to the center and punch out. With out losing that time that has always been subtracted....
UPS mangement trying to strong arm drivers into thinking that they have to still take their hour break.... Because of a law suit that was filed on the East coast by a service provider alleging he is not given ample time to take a break... So UPS has quit subtracting the break and is forcing drivers to take it to prove that drivers are taking their break....
Confusing yes! But this just started July 9th. Try skipping your break and look at your time the next day... They will try and tell you or itimidate you that you have to but, they can't give you any discipline if you puch out with out taking it.
