[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 877199, member: 18044"] UPSGuy72, UPSers are in numerous H&W plans across the country. Even in New England you and I are in different funds. The rules vary somewhat from fund to fund. The New England Supplement says a part-timer will have $8.56 per hour contributed to the appropriate H&W fund for all paid hours (including vacations, sick days, holidays, optionals, etc.) up to 40 hours per week. Of course most part-timers only work 17.5 hours a week or more, but rarely anything near 40. The $8.56 and $7.86 contributions are part of an employee's overall compensation package. The money contributed to the two benefit funds is on behalf of the employee, in lieu of wages. The money, or any portion of it, can be redirected from one fund to the other, or even into our paychecks so long as that's what is negotiated. Changing the allocation this late in the game would be difficult, and major changes would require contract renegotiation, but it is our money, and if enough people felt strongly enough, we could get it in our paychecks. We wouldn't get all of it though, as there are other factors at play. [/QUOTE]
