You can't make this stuff up

[MAKAVELI]

When did they get their raise? I asked him this week if they got the October raise?

Same time as us. We were told handlers will be getting 3% when they announced our raises.

Hmmm. Guess he doesn't know what he's talking about or they lied to y'all. Neither of which surprises me. Lol.

Technically they didn't get a raise. All they really got was a cost of living adjustment because starting pay went up as much as any of them got.

That's not the point. The company knows If they drop the guarantee employees will be leaving in droves.

Why would they even consider dropping it? It costs virtually nothing and there are enough mechanisms in place to cancel it anyway.

I asked a PM manager if handlers were included in the October raise, he said no. Then he followed it by telling me that they only work 10 hours but are getting paid for 17.5 every week.

True story. A DOT handler working 13 hours a week and getting paid for 17.5 refused to shuttle docs to the ramp (25 minutes round trip) one night because he had done it before and "didn't get anything extra for it." He didn't get his guarantee that week and had a fairly humorous meltdown when he saw his check.

That was stupid.

I applaud the manager who adjusted that time card.

They have that right once someone refuses work.

 

[whenIgetthere]

Yep.

Unless you worked eight or less hours each day, anything over eight is time and a half. Sure that will be the next thing that changes.

Pretty sure they can't touch that.

 

[whenIgetthere]

Pretty sure they can't touch that.

Hope not, but any company I have worked at before paid OT after 40 hours for the week, as opposed to over eight daily.

 

[Maui]

CA law is OT for all hours over 8 in a single day.

I'm sure you applaud any manager regardless of what they do.

Little early in the morning for one of the Three Stooges to be up.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

Why would you even care?

This is the "too plain vanilla" forum that you supposedly quit awhile back.

I feel like out of all the things they could take away or change, over time after 8 would be the last thing honestly

Today is October 31. That means tonight the ID's of a bunch of people at my station expire. No replacements have been issued yet. Pictures were taken weeks ago. Should be interesting tomorrow morning to see whether they can punch in or not.

Spent all that money on time clocks, and now when someone forgets an ID and can't punch in it really doesn't even matter. As long as your punched in with the power pad they can add the punch in the computer
