So I always thought that we had to fill out some type of form for an 8 hour request. Our steward is out for a while and I haven’t been able to get a hold of him. Somone else told me you just need to write the request down. So I was just curious how others handle this. Do you guys have forms you fill out?
8 hour request form?

A handwritten request with the date should suffice.
Does it need to be signed by management?

Yes——signed and dated.

Do you have a contract? I ask because some places differ on amount of notice. Also it will tell you what you need to do to request a 8 HR day.

It’s at least 72 hours.

There are forms that we have at are building that you fill out that are for 8hr, request off and personal holiday. And in the central its 24hr notice not 72 hrs sorry Dave.

Under the Southern Supplement, the employer is suppose to provide the form, we usually just write it down. You have to request within 5 calander days, not working, of the day you want. Management is then required to hand the form back accepting or denying the request. Failure to do so is automatic acceptance of the request. Penalty pay for failure to honor a request is 2 hours pay.

I am putting one in today for my last work day (5/7/18). I am asking that they cover my UPS Store pickup, which is heaviest on Mondays.

Yep.
"A package car driver and full-time inside employee may request, by a twenty-four (24) hour advance written notice, to be relieved from duty after eight (8) hours of work on a particular day."

For those covered under the national language;
"An employee who desires to be relieved from overtime on a particular day must make a written request on a form furnished by the Employer. Such a request must be submitted no later than the start of his/her shift on the fifth (5th) calendar day preceding the day being requested. A signed copy of the request form stating approval or disapproval shall be returned to the employee by the end of the employee’s next working day."

That's pretty selfish, don't you think ?
Our Union brother is just exercising his rights under the contract.
Day one.... towards getting on the 9.5 list.

You have an 8 hr day everyday
Actually, in my small center an 8 hour request usually forces them to add another route. Some drivers will often take one on a Monday because they usually cut routes that day. Then management had to decide if they want to try and load someone up and deal with having missed, or add another route and deal with not making there stupid stops per car number or whatever BS metric they are trying to meet.
