    OT numbers going into peak

    My first peak season as a preloader is upon me. Can someone explain how OT works? I've heard it's based on weekly hours, and I've also heard it's based on daily hours.

    To be or Not to be PT Supervisor for Peak Season (On Topic)

    So I've come back to UPS after working at a grocery store for a year. Although instead of being a driver assistant for the peak season, I'm a PT package handler and my FT supervisor had approached me asking if I wanted to be a PT sup for the peak season to which I gladly said yes. So, the next...

    Article 41, Section 2(b) FT Progression Question

    - skip to bottom for question - I was a bid Air Driver part-time for about 5 years. One of the best jobs I've ever had. Evening pickups which were the same every day, no mental stress, virtually same variables every day, and I only worked about 20-23 hours per week so I could still actually...

    New Hire Practices

    Does UPS Drug screen new hires and if so when do they do it. I know they have to do a background check and that usually takes up to 2 weeks so do they do it after that. BTW The position is a part-time supervisor
