Called in.

[UPS MAN Dallas TX]

If you don’t have sick of personal days, what’s the progressive Discipline for calling in. Can it lead to a off the clock termination?

No, they won't terminate you off the clock.



They'll wait for you to clock in, then terminate you.

Come in, work a couple hours, say you're vision is blurry

Fatigue

 

[Cementups]

According to the FMCSA they can not do anything to you:

6.3.1 Illness or Fatigue (392.3)​

Drivers may not operate, nor shall a motor carrier require or permit a driver to operate, a CMV if they are too tired or sick to drive safely. Operation may be discontinued at the driver’s discretion. In the case of a grave emergency, where danger to the driver, occupants, or other users on the road would increase if the driver stopped operating the CMV, the driver may continue until the nearest place the danger can be eliminated.

You get 7 occurrences outside of your option days before discipline can (should) start. You should know the steps of progressive discipline; verbal, written, suspension, termination.

Be careful using fatigue too much. Guys use it here in feeders all the time but a little trick they like to play is if you use it to much they send you for a medical evaluation and they tell the Dr to put you thru the ringer. Cpap machine to see if you have a sleeping disorder.

I wouldn't recommend this. They could say no work until you are cleared by a company doctor.

go to a doctor and say you get headaches. Ask for FMLA paperwork. There, you now have unlimited call ins. Almost every new driver in my building has done this and work 3-4 days a week now

 

[Savage21]

I always forget some locals don't even have personal days and sick days. That is effing criminal.

Then get yourself in DOT card trouble.

If you don't want to work, quit!

Is this legit? I cannot imagine management being thrilled with this

I cannot imagine being a grown ass man and doing this. Buncha bitches these days.

Management can't do anything, not even mention it to the person. Though no you don't get unlimited call ins.

I knew a guy that got FMLA for allergies. All so could play golf twice a month when he wanted to.

 

[Wally]

Clowns playing legal games in order to get time off are screwing other Teamsters. Please quit if you can't hack it

Why would you care whether management is thrilled or not
