[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 196939, member: 7185"] The UPS policy book on this subject was updated in late 2003, I think. My brother was hired as a seasonal loader in the same [I]building[/I] I worked in. I wrote down my work-area, p/t and friend/t sup's names and told him, "Give this to the training class supervisor and tell he/she this is where your brother works." He gave it to them and was told he could work on the [I]same[/I] primary, just not the same [I]area[/I]. Two weeks before Christmas 2004, I was released from my work-area and sent to help the outbounds. Outbound friend/t sup said to help on X dock. I glanced at the dock, thought I saw my brother's coat, looked in a trailer and saw him loading. I refused, saying my understanding was company policy didn't allow us to. friend/t sup called the outbound manager over, told him the story and pointed at me as the offending employee. Manager comes up to me and says, "Help him out, OK? He needs the help!" I balked, afraid to lose my job or get my brother fired. Manager sighs, says, "Look, please, help him out. I'll talk to HR--personally--and get the official word. If there's disciplinary action handed out, it'll come down on me. If company policy is you can't work together [B]period[/B], we'll take care of it." Next day, I was walking to my area when the manager calls my name. I turn, he trots up and says, "I thought I was right. You can [I]spot-help[/I] on that belt anytime. HR gave me a fax from Atlanta, stating family members can not be [I]scheduled[/I] to work on the same [I]area[/I] but can work in the same section (i.e. wing, primary, etc). This policy makes no mention of spot/emergency help. We're good." -Rocky [/QUOTE]
