[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 186307, member: 8657"] I was reading the UK GUY's thread about being off work and I know most of you have been on disability or w. comp at some point. When you're home at a time like this and not bringing in the money you normally do, it can be difficult. Wanted to share this information - To take the edge off of this, the feeder guys my husband works with have created their own "Aflac" plan, totally separate from UPS. They call it the Survival Plan. There are easily 150 feeder guys here and about 60 of them have joined this plan. What happens is, whenever anyone in this "plan" goes out on disability or comp, the other members kick in $5 a week and this $ goes to the guy who's hurt. When he comes back, no one donates to the plan again until someone else goes out. Nothing wrong with $300 a week to help out. If two guys are out hurt at the same time, each member put $10 a week into the fund. Three people out, $15.00 a week. It caps out at donating $20 a week. If for some reason half a dozen guys are out all at once, the $20 per member donation is distributed evenly between how ever many are out sick or hurt. Some of the special wording in this "contract": those employees who are out due to a suspension or an accident investigation are not included, and those who are out repeatedly for [U]excessive[/U] amounts of time will be dropped from the plan. (This DOES happen...) The plan doesn't cover elective surgeries (plastic surgery, a nose job...). It's been a real lifesaver for many folks here and a whole lot more who didn't bother joining up sure wish they had. We took care of the "books" for this, collected the $ and got it to the employees in need for 6 months and then we turn it over to another UPS'er for another 6 months. Just an idea for y'all, something to make a tough time a bit easier... :bored: [/QUOTE]
