You can't make this stuff up

They may well have changed the policy and not told anyone. Surprise. Surprise. I'm going to look.

When it comes to overtime I don't think that's one they can just change and not tell us. Working on your day off is always been overtime except for when you call in sick or take a personal regardless of how many hours you have worked.

I put nothing past FedEx. I'm surprised they haven't touched our weekly minimum yet.

Are......are......are you saying that.....I.....was......right????

Would you feel emasculated if you were wrong?

Probably cuz they would know it would lead to more turnover.

They would have people like oldfart believing it was the best thing since sliced bread. Lol.

Blasphemy

I think Oldfart has been smelling his own farts.

Here you have to actively ask and look for hours to get weekly minimum wages.

Well our night sort is overstaffed already and no one is on vacation so there's really nothing they can say.

All about cutting overtime and hours right now

I just spoke to my mgr and he said it's based on weekly hours, that your Saturday hours are added to your minimum if you don't have 35.

That is correct. All hours worked during the week are calculated toward your minimum. The 6th day is always OT regardless of how many or how few hours you've worked.

That's not what policy says. I read that this evening. Management is responsible for scheduling you to work a minimum of 35 hours. THEIR responsibility, not yours.

 

[Operational needs]

That is correct. All hours worked during the week are calculated toward your minimum. The 6th day is always OT regardless of how many or how few hours you've worked.

I looked at the policy and if I read it correctly, it does say that. I forgot to check the date.

You just contradicted yourself.

I have never gotten paid minimum in my entire career so I have no idea what you are insinuating. Our station has always been overtime dependent. All you want and then some.

 

[Operational needs]

You just contradicted yourself.

No, he didn't. If we work 32 hours during the week and 6 on Saturday, three of the six will count towards the weekly minimum, but all six hours are OT because it's a scheduled day off.

 

[dex 84]

You just contradicted yourself.

No he didn't. There's two things in play here. One is the policy that a full time employee is guaranteed 35 hours of pay whether or not they are provided with 35 hours of work. The other is that when you work your day off you are on overtime from punch to punch.

Our hub is getting a fully automated part to our small sort. It can sort over 8,000 an hour and has 48 bins they are trying to say that only 5 people will be bagging on it. Mind you it goes over 8,000 an hour, how are 5 people going to be able to keep up with 8,000+? Even if it's only 8,000 that's 1,600 packages an hour per person which for a bagger is impossible

I'm guessing there is a point there somewhere??
