[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1012919, member: 42691"] In 28 years working here, especially when I was part-time, I've had so many payroll errors that long ago I lost count. I used to get green checks delivered to me on Saturday mornings for screw ups on my Thursday night check errors. When I was in package car, my wife was my helper four or five different years. One of those years, my management team screwed up her check. By screwing up her check, I mean they didn't have her check for two consecutive weeks. I forgave them the first week, but that second week, on Thursday night, her check wasn't there. I got pissed, and told my center manager that I needed that check in the AM. Come Friday morning, when that check wasn't there, I blew my stack. In our check-in room that day, our building manager was bs'ing with my center manager. When I found out the check wasn't there, I charged into the check-in area, and screamed--and I do mean screamed--at my center manager, "Who the friend* is in charge of this center?!!" Well, as you might imagine, I did myself no favors that day, and every chance my center manager got to put the screws to me, he did. My steward told me that our center manager told him he had never been so embarrassed in front of his drivers. I didn't care, because it was completely unprofessional of my management team to screw up this check. And UPS never screwed up more checks than they did with the helpers. And yes, if you've read any of my posts, you'll know I preach how important it is to keep your cool. Obviously, this is a skill I've learned over the years. When I was younger, keeping cool wasn't a strong point of mine. So, so many times, I've been in the back of my package car, swearing that if my dispatcher was in front of me, I'd kill him. But age mellows you, I suppose. Now I'm more tactical. Anyway, it is always in your best instance to keep track of your hours. Even if it is just a mistake, you would never know if you didn't keep track. [/QUOTE]
