[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 57729"] A code 5 just means a "pay actual" which isn't necessarily the same thing because sometimes the lunch seems to be automatically taken out (subtracted) of the workday regardless of what is put down in the diad. Example: they blow your stop count by an hour on an eight hour request giving you nine hours of work which would take you till 6:30 pm. If you skip your whole hour lunch, you work a nine hour day straight through and get out at 5:30 pm. If this works for you and works for your manager it would obviously benefit both sides to agree to skip your lunch and be paid your actual hours worked necessitating a code 5 rather than a code 6. However, a code 5 by itself may take in account that you skipped your lunch or it just could easily be accounted that "you must take a lunch and just neglected to record it into your diad" and is figured in automatically (subtracted from your total hours). So you would get the guaranteed 8 hours which is what 5:30 pm represents anyway in this example. You just got screwed out of an hour of overtime rate of pay. That is why the term, at least from my experience is "pay your lunch". That expressly means the lunch will not be subtracted out of your day. This practice is officially "forbidden", "not to be done", or "frowned upon" depending on current unofficial local policy, day, season, situation or state of mind by management, but it happens and can benefit both sides. I would be in favor of making this contractually acceptable, but I don't believe upper management would be as interested in this. Nationwide I cannot imagine how much money UPS saves (makes) from drivers skipping their lunch and not getting paid for this just to get out earlier for the multitude of things that go on in their "life beyond UPS", but I bet it's a ton. Making code 5, pay your lunch officially common place would lose a significant percentage of this "free" work and I don't see upper management in favor of that however much they mouth "follow the contract".
