Common overlooked time allowance credits

[bleedinbrown58]

Are we entitled to two 15 minutes breaks every day?

In addition to your lunch hour?

The time allowance for double tripping is the same whether you keep the same PC or swap it for a new one.

Dave is correct. I do a double trip everyday with the same PC. Makes a big difference.

Differs depending on area. In my area we get two 15 min breaks and a 30 min lunch.

If you are still at the same stop there is no need to pre-record it. That being said, using left at because you have to walk to the office is quite foolish.

If you are doing an apartment, the above would get a record - drive - release flag.

We have a 1hr unpaid lunch. So my question is are we entitled to paid breaks as well?

Not according to the supplement...I don't think so. The only mention of a 15min break is for the combo (Article 22) guys. But ask your steward to confirm.

It depends on where you are. Here it is a 30 min unpaid lunch and 2 paid 10 min breaks.

I got a better idea. Spend more time doing the job like your suppose to and less time trying to figure out how to beat the system.

He's in my local...I believe its an hour lunch...that's it. But I've worked with drivers who split their lunch and will take the last 10 or 15min towards the end of their day.

I pre rec and drive to different buildings in a complex. Never heard a peep. The only thing I've ever heard about record drive release is what's been said here. I deliver about 30 la/res a day. Peak is over double that.

I suppose the next question would be why would you do a left when you are at address on the package.

I only have a handful of properties that are the same address as the office

It depends what you're double tripping for. If you double trip to load three hundred pieces, then yes it helps. If you double to deliver an early, then no. The whole thing is a scam its just a Ouija board.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

That is one of those things you can do but pointless. Nothing really wrong about doing it though.

Receptionist is one of the choices when you hit stop complete so, yeah, there is something wrong about doing it that way.

How do you do a "left at" for a single prerecorded stop?

Double trips give you a huge time allowance.

Prerecord stop after scanning, walk from apt. A to apt. B and hit prerecord, have apt. B sign for it, clarify, enter, del key, stop complete, left at location. Am I tired or are you slipping?

Why pre-record it first. Hit deliver, soft key left at and go from there.

the only indirects I do for apartments, are to the office

Only prerecord It ,if I have a delivery for apt A & B

My point was about not pre-recording if it is the only stop that you have. I think pre-recording or not is perfectly fine, but in today's UPS world...I was trying to say that NOT-prerecording a singular apartment stop would create a flag on a report.

What if the apartment office does not sign, and a nosey neighbor comes out and asks to sign for it?

No way. If the office is closed they can sign the delivery notice.
