FMLA & Top Pay Question

[Wally]

Wrong.





Right.


Article 16

Section 6. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

"The employee’s seniority rights shall continue as if the employee had not taken leave under this section, and the Employer will maintain health insurance coverage during the period of the leave."

Pg. 46

Ok, that covers healthcare.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Ok, that covers healthcare.

And, it answers the the OP's question.

I'm supposed to hit top rate in September but I've been out on FMLA for 5 weeks. Does that delay when I hit top rate or will I still get that raise in September?

There is no delay, if you are on an approved FMLA leave.

Where's @Wally

I guess I'll find out the 3rd week of Sept whether I get a pay bump or not. My biggest concern is the health of my wife. Family first always

The contract mentions that it maintains your seniority but it doesn't say anything about that time off in FMLA counting towards your driving progression.

The contract mentions that it maintains your seniority but it doesn't say anything about that time off in FMLA counting towards your driving progression.

The law states it would have to explicitly state that and it would also have to treat all forms of leave without pay the same.

The law states it would have to explicitly state that and it would also have to treat all forms of leave without pay the same.

So how are all forms of leave without pay treated? I know when you're out on disability that time off still counts towards your driving seniority. But is disability considered time off without pay since it's the state paying you and not UPS?

I would think so as disability and FMLA can run concurrently.

Just happened to a driver in my center. Was out on comp. While out hit full rate. Comp payments never changed. Full rate wasn't reflected until he returned to work. Called the hall to verify and was told you don't hit full rate if out on comp

That's not what the Op is talking about. Comp will always be based on current wages when you go out not on future wages.

Article 16 covers healtcare and senority. That's it.

Where does it state they CAN delay progression raises?

 

[Wally]

Where does it state they CAN delay progression raises?

It doesn't either way that I can see. Very vague.

Maybe this needs to be addressed.

Exactly, when it comes to FMLA laws, it has to be specific. Otherwise it could be considered arbitrary and retaliatory.

I taught @BigUnionGuy just about everything he knows and he is correct. Not only are you covered but your seniority continues on.

Only about the contract.

Please.... not about anything else.
