[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 526295, member: 11246"] I have been trying to figure this out as well. Here is the way I have computed the figures: Scenario 1: 3 Drivers going out with 10.7 hours of work each = 365.00 in overtime. The cover driver that is laid off is also being paid 136.80 to work the inside doing a double/split shift. Total spent by UPS 501.80 plus bennies/workman’s comp and the like Scenerio 2: If they added another route to cover the same "overtime"...the work could be done by a cover driver for 136.80. In my building they would then need to hire 2 part timers to fill the vacancies left by the laid off driver being returned to work. The newly hired parttimers pay alone would be an increase expense of 76.00. This brings our growing expense to 206.80. This does not include workman’s comp and payroll taxes. Employment tax for UPS is probably around 6%....Workman’s comp around 7.5 and unemployment around 6. Grand total 19.5% of 76 around 14.50. So add the 14.50 to the 206.80 you get 221.30. UPS also has to pay into the pension plan for the new PART TIME employee's and that would cost around 60.00. Grand total 281.30. I am sure there are a few other expenses I am missing. At this point it would cost UPS 220 LESS to add the driver. But I did not take into consideration the cost of the additional truck, insurance, gas and any other expenses. [/QUOTE]
