[gypsy mcgee]

Sorry if this thread is common knowledge to most. If two employees have same hire date with zero pt, what decides senior employee for bidding purposes?

In my building it would go alphabetically by their last name.

Bare knuckle brawl. Winner has the higher seniority position.

Coin toss

In all seriousness, this is how we did it last time it came up in my building.

The only case we had like this was settled with a coin toss----------------------------and the loser cried about it for thirty years. Both of the guys were avid hunters and the one who won the coin toss got his pick of vacations first so that lead to some awkward situations---especially at deer hunting time.

You lost the toss?

I always assumed it was decided by a race of whoever could get themselves off the fastest.

No-- it wasn't me. I was lucky enough to be hired when UPS was just starting to expand nation wide. About a year after I was hired our center more than tripled the number of employees. Shortly after I started we had 2 ten year drivers quit (we only had 8 drivers counting me to start with) so I was always able to get what ever weeks I wanted off for vacation

In the BOG its whoever can get the center manager off the fastest

Upstate NY Supplement

Article 57 Section 3

Where two (2) or more employees have the same seniority date, the employee who completed their thirtieth (30th) workday first shall go ahead on the seniority list. If still tied, the date of employment application shall govern, and if still tied, seniority order shall be decided by coin toss.

 

[Turdferguson]

Way it should be handled.

14 years retired and you're still talking shop. Sad.

I can see all kinds of problems here with the coin toss.
Who calls it
Who tosses it
Witnesses
What coin to use
Is it let to hit the floor or caught and slapped on arm

Etc etc etc

 

[PiedmontSteward]

Depends on area but here its handled by application date and then coin toss as a tie breaker.

Its not that I enjoy talking shop----its just that I enjoy aggravating you.
