2080 is 52 x 40. That does seem a bit high. I only had 2074 hours reported in 2009 but did receive credit for a full years' credit toward my pension.
I know when I was a casual we had to have 36 days in a quarter to get our benefits for the next quarter.
It depends on what Supplement you are under, and what specific pension and health & welfare plan you are in.
Check contract Article 34 (if appropriate,) and your Supplement's pension and health & welfare articles for the details of how many hours you need, and what hours count, under what conditions. Also check your Summary Plan Descriptions (SPD).
Usually you can take a few days off, but not too many.
Swordfish, are you sure you need 2080 hours to qualify for a full year's Pension Credit. Usually it's 1800 hours or so.

Dave,
Are you sure about the 2074 hours? That's not even averaging 40 hours a week including December.
I just got my annual pension statement and that was the number of hours I was credited with. We are only credited for hours worked so vacations don't count. I went to upsers and checked my 12/31/09 paystub and I had 2316 hours, a difference of 242 hours.

Hi there,
I'm thinking about becoming a UPS'er and I am trying to get benefits info. What's the best way to do this? I'm in Virginia - would be looking at becoming a package delivery driver, although, my application was changed by HR to read BID Air Driver at some point. Is there a difference in the job and it's associated benefits?
