[QUOTE="Matthew Mau, post: 3255546, member: 70134"] Ok a bit of backstory I am new to the USP system and from what I understand that I am to work 5 hours and 5 days a week. A quote from from the hiring "UPS is hiring individuals to work as [B]part-time Package Handlers[/B]. This is a physical, fast-paced position that involves continual lifting, lowering and sliding packages that typically weigh 25 - 35 lbs. and may weigh up to 70 lbs. Part-time employees usually work 3 ½ - 4 hours each day and workdays can vary (Monday – Friday) or (Tuesday – Saturday) depending on the building needs. Package Handlers typically do not work on holidays. Package Handlers receive a competitive hourly rate and also an attractive benefits package. Please note that these opportunities are part-time only working approximately 17 1/2 – 20 hours per week." This is the position I applied for and understood at the time that working 5 maximum a day was needed. The option to work more is giving but not forced. I can understand that if help is need I am willing to help. But management is calling it "volun-told" on what is being able to stay (basically its being told but they changed it to sound like volunteer).
