[QUOTE="bailey2227, post: 398141, member: 11729"] So, if you call off 1-2 days a month you can get fired for that? This person who trained me was a Management employee who has been working there for 12 years. Again, referring back to my original post I am not someone who is going to call off "on a regular" basis. But, by the same time I want to know what my rights are. I just finished reading some posts from a while back. It talks about employees being harrassed when they called in. That really struck a nerve with me. The bottom line is UPS doesn't give us sick days. We get 1 week of vacation after 1 year of service and 1 week of option pay which equals two weeks. Plus, the 8 holidays off and paid. There is no where that we get sick days. This person I am referring to also told our training class if we called off 1-2 days during training that is not bad. They had a bunch of employees come talk to us during our training week and they were joking around about them being lucky to have employees showing up to work. When you are a full-time college student and taking 18 credits a semester and working Mon-Fri there are going to be times/days when you have finals,etc. where I will utilize your advice and let my supervisor know. Above and beyond that if a situation comes up where my wife is sick, or I need to see a doctor and it has to be at night, I shouldn't be "scared" to call off. That is the whole reason for my post. I would rather UPS say okay you get 10 sick days in a year, than be told OK you can call off whenever you want. Just don't make it a habit of every friday. The impression I get is if you call off every other week and change it up and not make it a pattern then who cares. That is not a good attitude to have, but it is the truth. Does that make sense?
