"Bonus" not showing on check

[rustys954rr]

What's this bonus crap?

It used to be what the company paid me not to run Orion.

I became a driver in early June, just got my seniority about 3 weeks ago. I was told that I am a full-time driver, so bonus should apply to me, right? We are a bonus center, obviously. But, I do not see any bonus section on my checks. And yes, I have made what should have been bonus many times.

Now I will begin keeping track of my hours more closely.

Only "regular" and "overtime" hours worked are showing up on my checks, there is no bonus section.

Has this "Bonus" section not come into affect yet? To my knowledge it should come into affect immediately after you get seniority.

You have to tell them to activate your bonus in the system.

In my center they don't pay bonus to the bottom 3 drivers in seniority.

You can't "file" because union doesn't recognize bonus. It's UPS's thing. They can do whatever they want.

Drivers that bonus think they are playing the company. Imagine being paid extra just to work smarter. Of course some drivers never bonus for the same reason.

Overtime pays more.

 

[babboo25]

Overtime pays more.

Bonus is paid at overtime rate.

Bonus is paid at overtime rate.

Some places.

 

[babboo25]

Some places.

Ok some, ours is OT

 

[zubenelgenubi]

I made the same statement about OT and bonus as @Slug Life in another thread, that's how I found out bonus wasn't the same everywhere. I suppose that if you stay on these forums long enough you start to see the same conversations over and over. Just thought it was mildly humorous.

Ironically you'd think that bonus is the darling of management.....one of my 8 ORION rides was with a lady who was part of an “over alowed” hit team that went from one troubled building to the next. She said the company puts about three times more effort into investigating bonus drivers then they do chronically over alowed drivers. She too couldn’t understand since you have buildings like the Oakland building who average almost 3 hours in the hole a day. That’s an average so imagine what the worse drivers numbers are. Anyhow it certainly gave me the impression that UPS wants it gone more then the union does.

They investigate bonus drivers more because of all the dfu's they generate. That's all. Bonus is entirely UPS's baby and has nothing to do with the union. If they didn't have an incentive to pay bonus, they wouldn't have to.

why don't you ask another driver at your center and then go to the stupe.

Here in Southern it is Straight time. Again another fail for us why Am I suprised.

Only building in my area that has a Bonus....the union members are the only ones who can get rid of it by a vote.

Ours is paid at straight rate as well.....don’t worry misery loves company.

We had a guy work close to a year without realizing that he should have been getting a "bonus"

center manager said he was not added correctly in the system or some crap. The driver kind of let him off the hook by accepting a general sum and did not make them go through the entire year for an exact figure.

We had the same thing happen my building. I think they just told the driver that they were sorry and will correct it in the future.

That is when I tell them that I am sorry as well and ask when I should be receiving my check.
