[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1365254, member: 42270"] I think there's some confusion here on PT/FT. The air driving job your husband had was [B]not[/B] a FT job. He was a PT employee receiving extra hours to deliver air. A FT job includes full time pension credits, benefits, and (almost always) an 8 hour/day guarantee. Are you sure your husband was actually brought on as a [B]FT Package Delivery Driver[/B] or as a PT Cover Driver/Regular Temporary Driver? The rules for RTDs (I've only heard the term "swing driver" used by FedEx guys but it might be used in your area) vary widely by supplement but the general rule of thumb is that UPS cannot use them the entire year (otherwise they would never hire FT drivers) and they may not drive every day. If called to drive, they are usually guaranteed 8 hours/day and if [B]not [/B]called to drive they are guaranteed their 3.5 hours/day (guaranteed, although most PT'ers usually get more than that) working the local sort. Seeing as how your husband only received [B]4 hours[/B] for holiday pay (FT'ers receive 8 hours for holiday and 45 hours for vacation vs a PT'ers 4 & 20), that makes me think he's [B]not [/B]a FT Driver and he's a [B]PT Cover Driver[/B]. Your husband (at the very least) needs to be working his guarantee (whether driving or in the building) every day he works. [/QUOTE]
