I've been in small sort now for 6 months now, and call me greedy, but I'm looking forward to my first raise. Can anyone tell me if its based on merit, or if it is a standard amount? Thanks for your help. |

All raises at UPS are based on height or length. Hope you have at least one of those.

You may get a raise if you sort in the small sort. A sorter, I believe, is a skilled position, so you should get a dollar/hour raise. Or was this changed in the last contract? | |

I just checked my contract and it reads Aug 2009 .375 cents an hour. Thanks Sleeve
