How long does one need to work at UPS in order to have a week off?
I'm coming up to my first year in Oct.
You were probably a peak hire if you started in oct. Your seniority probably didn't start until January.
Being a peak hire only means that your 30 days do not count until January but once you make book all your time counts back to your hire date.You were probably a peak hire if you started in oct. Your seniority probably didn't start until January.
Yep PT I only ask because I was given a list of days during the month I.e After Jan 1st 2009...
Week Ending
Feb 7th, March 7th and so on...
You're kidding! They're asking you already for 2009? We're barely into 2008. I'd tell them to get back with me around November. I have a hard time planning seven weeks throughout a year. I sure wouldn't have a clue almost 2 years in advance.
But then again, if I really need a couple days off when they weren't planned, I just call off. A lot easier to do when you work all that unwanted OT throughout the year.

I've only worked their since Jan 7 and I just put in for three days off in a row this summer.
I've heard you can take time off whenever you want as long as you can get it. But not too often or they should just fire you. Getting time off paid those is another story. I heard it takes one years to get a week paid off.
Yep I have a week off in Feb starting the 9th
I guess each area is not the same.. despite many of you saying nothing counted until after January that was not true.
Don't ask me why they did it that way.. thats just the way they did it :-/
you can take any week off, just dont expect to have a job!
TheBrownBox man,
I'm not sure where these people are getting their info. It may be different depending on your part of the company. When I was part-time in '99 it was a certain amount hour hours to get your benefits and 6 months to get a weeks vacation and your sick time.
Also, where I'm from our vacation calander starts MAY 1. If its a year to get a week vacation in your area, you will be eligable for that week in Oct. of '08. That is probably why they are telling you dates for '09. They may have weeks availible now, but you will not have the time until Oct. Do you follow me?
