[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 563961, member: 484"] Sober The allowances per each work segment is set in stone. They are the same allowances that are set in stone for all routes, they dont change. Where the problem lies is the human aspect of the time study, how the allowances apply to each route, and how that data is collected by the observer. And it is that segment that is where the problem lies with some routes never beating standards, or being an hour or more over every day, or a route that even a rookie can beat by a half hour each day. And there in lies the rub. IF a OJS showed that the driver performed well, and was over by an hour, that is a clear indication that something in the time study is very wrong, and it should be adjusted. But instead, too many managers take the easy way out which is very unfair to the drivers, and long term to the company. Its a shame that the managers that most drivers that deal with being over allowed would rather use a heavy hand, instead of logically looking at why there might be a problem. It is in those situations that a steward can really be a great help in fixing the issue before it gets out of hand. All that being said, there are those drivers( some of which have been discussed here) that will not perform no matter what, to any degree. And like it or not, those drivers will be weeded out over time. d [/QUOTE]
