[QUOTE="geriatric handler?, post: 250464, member: 11924"] [b]Re: 45 yr old considering PT Handler job for benefits. Some questions & input desired[/b] yes, but, given the extremely low starting wage (here in CA, it's lower than almost any other job) and the fact that 6 months is the longest you'll wait for benefits anywhere that offers them, i'd have thought UPS would be a shorter wait period just because the benefits are their best drawing card. good thing i came here to confirm the info; my source of info was positive it was 30 days-guess he forgot about the >3 1/2 month's probation preceding the 30 days. so, to be clear, if i worked 5 days/week, it would take 14 weeks to get past probation and then, from that date, 30 more days until i would be eligible for benefits? so, 5 months without benefits but you start paying union dues from the get go? Anyone know for sure, thru personal experience, that there is no pre-existing condition wait period once you're on the insurance? because, if there were, it could end up being 11 months, or even 17 month!
