Hello, I'm a new hire working as a preloader.
Today, the week's printed, posted schedule says start time was 2:30 a.m. This morning I punched in at 2:28. I noticed when I punched out this morning that my "scheduled shift" began at 2:50, despite the fact that I get right to work as soon as I'm there. Seems like UPS is getting a third of an hour of free labor. Or does this unpaid 20 minutes offset the break I get later in the shift? I've heard others say "Keep track of your hours, they'll short you otherwise!" and a lot of people snap pics of the terminal as they punch in and later punch out. I'd like to be kept on after peak, whenever that ends, so I'm unsure whether it's considered rocking the boat by mentioning it to my supervisor. Any information or guidance on this would be appreciated.
