Will Ups hire a 17 year old?

[jeffpatterson]

Curious if my friends son could work the PM shift after he gets out of school. I would ask HR but theres not a HR person in our building anymore.

I have seen many 17 year olds get hired. It is a lot of heavy work.

I've seen it. Grapevine said it was because of turning 18 within X amount of time but that's all I know of that.

I had a lady on my rte years ago who's son had an interview when 17. I put a word in for him and he was hired at 17. Was youngest working in the hub at that time. So yes they do. He worked twilight, 5pm-9pm roughly.

I was hired my senior year of high school, about a month before my 18th birthday. Your friend's son will probably have to get a work permit. You have to be at least 17 to work at UPS.

When I was hired, they told us you had to be 18 and have graduated high school. Different rules in California?

 

[greengrenades]

I was 17 when I was hired, that was in 2002 so who knows if it's been changed or not. This was in Memphis so could be different in different areas. Hell, just tell him to apply and try anyways what could it hurt?

All they can say is no.

UPS would hire Chinese toddlers if they could.

I started at 17 so yes. Just when you apply online you have to put 18

Ups would prefer oompaloompas and pay them in cocoa beans

Hire 'em young. They don't start towards vesting in the pension until their 21. That's three, or four, years of working for other's retirement.

Yes, really. Credit for pension years does not begin until you turn 21.

It used to be 21 but I think that changed (to 18?). It was 25 before the '76 strike when it went to 21, then changed again I think.

When I started you had to be 21, have your military obligations out of the way and be married to be full time. I worked part time for around 4 months. I got married on the Friday before Memorial Day and was promoted to full time the following Tuesday after the 3 day weekend. 90 days later I was up to full pay scale. It used to be so simple.
