Day off during peak

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Yes-----you are a newbie trying to become permanent. You have zero paid time on the books. This is Peak-----unless you are in a hospital bed you show up to work or you start looking for work elsewhere.

Wrong wrong wrong

He had 1 year Seniority.
He isn't a seasonal.

Call in. When they answer tell them your name and say you won't be in. Then hang up.

I urgently need next Monday off and it’s my Sixth punch because I’m a Tuesday to Saturday driver. I filed a request three weeks ago and haven’t gotten a response yet. The dispatcher said it’s most likely to be denied. I don’t have any option or sick days yet.
Is Sixth day punch mandatory during peak? Any advice? Thanks

Don’t sweat calling in during peak. UPS has been diligently preparing for peak all year and should be fully staffed with extra drivers on hand to accommodate call-ins and unforeseen volume.

As mentioned earlier if you don’t have attendance issues you’re fine, even without sick time. You’ll get ‘sick day no pay’. As long as you call in don’t worry about it. There is a driver here that pushes his luck by calling in at the last second without sick time and no call no shows a couple times a year and hasn’t been canned. Sure management will get ticked if you call in during peak but they should have plenty of seasonals to cover the work.

Did you ask if you’re forced in?

 

[I have been lurking]

I saw flyers saying they can't force a 6th day and to contact the shop steward

Just over a year with seniority since July. Never missed a day of work

Seriously I remembered you being a little smarter before. I must be mistaken.

Too much or not enough?

If he has more than a year on the books how can he be out of paid time off?

Used it all? He made his year in July. So he had over 4 months to use it.

I could easily use my option days in 4 months.

 

[clean hairy]

Since he is no longer an employee, he honstly has no idea what is going on this year!

Really none of your business, former employee!
He does not have to answer to you regarding it!

 

[numberonedriver]

Why do you feel the need to use such threatening language?

NOBODY gets fired during peak.

The bigger question is why does he care isn't he retired? I know when I leave ups I will not give one about what happens there. Pretty sad.

I haven’t had any days yet. I will start collecting sick days this January. That’s what my time off card says.

You may want to talk to someone about that. Most likely you were supposed to get days on your anniversary then January after that.

To be clear I haven’t had one year of seniority. My anniversary was 07/01/19. My time off card says I will start collecting vacation days in 06/20 and sick days in 01/20.

How's that make any sense? At my local we start getting sick days immediately after hitting seniority and our option days renew in August. If you've had your first year in since July you should have sick days.

Just call the office Monday say this is blah blah blah I'm sick I'm not coming in. If they give you any say I'm sick I'm not coming in and hang up.
