My hub built another building to handle our volume. We call out Christmas village. We are also starting before midnight on Wednesday on preload.

Hold the phone. Peak time or not....read your supplement. I don't know about yours...my supplement clearly states...whatever the posted start time is on Tueaday (say 1am)...that is the start time for the rest of that week. They can't say 1am Tueaday...and 2am on thursday and friday...assuming your supplement says the same as mine. Unless, the employees don't say anything and agree to start at the later time.

Find out ASAP....don't let them screw you out of OT!!

That sucks for them....my supplement says the PTer must agree to be scheduled for an 8 hour shift...which I would never agree to. I'll gladly work my 9 hour shifts with no unpaid lunch breaks and OT after 5.
Yeah, when you are low on seniority and want hours guaranteed, you must sign the list. Although, they'd probably get the hours anyway...it's a way for UPS to control the bargaining.

I remember some midnight report times last year so most likely will be even earlier this peak for me.


question-
What time does night sort usually get done in your hub?

If you're asking me...I don't really know. I've been there 7 years and still don't pay attention to local sort. Only time I ever see them is when I cover the customer counter in the afternoon. But, I know car wash has to work around them

Good times at UPS.

If you agree to double shift....you can lose the right to OT after 5 and can get OT only after 8 hrs...depends on your supplement, of course.
