I like that language-----the employee gets to work the week(s) that they want and those weeks are not closed.
Although I don't know why anyone would want to work their vacations.

You do not have any rights when you are working your vacation. Technically, any cut driver could work your route and you would take whatever is left. There is nothing in the contract that covers seniority rights or anything else when a person is working their vacation.

Probably but then it wouldn't be double time all day. Just up to 45 hours.
Either way his supp doesn't allow you to just work any vacation. It allows you pick a certain # of weeks but must be stated in the beginning of the year.
Personally I'd file a grievance on him if I was a cover driver.

Depends on if someone enjoys doing your route. If that person wants to file a grievance and force you off your route, that is an easy win for the cut driver.

So they are basically cover drivers for the week? Good.

Coronavirus is afraid of UPS drivers?
All I know is that at our center any hours worked outside of our posted schedule is double time. It's been a few years since I've done it but that's how I got paid. Regardless i couldnt find any language pertaining to over 9.5 when working a vacation week. I didn't expect so much of a backlash
Apparently not

Up to only two weeks though and only if he's been there long enough.
Thank you! That's all I was looking for.

Yeah, I saw that. Ideally this would not be allowed at all but this is a good compromise that doesn't negatively impact junior drivers.
That's basically where it is here but still does not stop the company from asking people to work vacations sometimes .

I called the BA, the BA put an end to it and I worked the route that I wanted to work. The bid driver could have come in and worked as a cut driver, but chose not to. No grievance required.

Being asked and volunteering are two separate things.

Personally I don't like people that work their vacations. Here it screws the PT cover drivers that cover those routes.
It also screws people that may have wanted that week if it were blocked out because of too many people taking it.
You don't want to take vacation that's fine. Don't schedule them and get paid. Here if you work it and cover drivers are in the building or its a prime week. I'm filing but that's just me.

Take the Vacation Maybe the last one even if you stay home, double NO, file 9.5 when you volunteer your self or do you mean a curfew pass NO.
I would never volunteer. Never have. I was actually told you have to be asked to come work to qualify for the double pay but if you volunteer then it's normal pay.

What a surprise. I think you would file if the center manager farted during the PCM.

So straight pay in addition to your 45 is not enough but double time is?

Don't know if that's how it works everywhere but it's at least something. Here we have language that you can not work your vacation. So that driver should be sent home. I had to file on a management buddy that kept scheduling the week after Xmas so that it would get blocked faster and our center manager would have more drivers available.
I warned him when I found out about it but he though the center manager would protect him.
