[QUOTE="Jack4343, post: 181973, member: 7328"] I'm in the Southeastern U.S. so I guess I'm in the southern district. The first one was due to a C.O.D. that I under collected by $100. I was notified the next day after and promptly collected the correct amount. I was told that a warning letter was standard procedure for that. However, I have seen other drivers have COD errors and did not have a warning letter sent to their house. The language in the letter is that one is quite different than the other one. It basically states that you (the driver) is responsible for payment of any errors that you make on CODs. I know that the union would not let that happen and have been told that by my union steward. However I have seen a drivers check garnished by UPS for a COD error. (He collected a personal check instead of a money order/certified funds and the check bounced) Anyway, the second one is a new procedure they are doing. All class 2 exception packages (Moved, No Such, etc.) must be pulled off and scanned by a scanner before being handed to a clerk. They warned us that day that warning letters would be sent out if you failed to do so. As I said previously, I pulled the packages off in the AM and didn't scan them. I did plead my case that there was no progressive discipline (Documented talk with, etc.) and that this was my first offense. I was told that this is the way it will be done for now on. Of course, I can see this going the way of the other things that management gets hot with temporarily and then ignores only to move on to the next hot topic. It's just that I got hit with it when they are really stressing the class 2 exceptions. I'm not really worried about my job or anything. I'm not the first (5 others got warning letters for the same thing that day) and I won't be the last. Heck, the next day I got recognized at the PCM by my center manager for helping out each day and they gave me some UPS 100 gear.
