Our building is doing mandatory Saturdays, last Saturday I was done by 12, on my last delivery I was given a pickup in my board, I went to the stop and they told me the pickups would not be ready for another hour. I called the building and told them, they said they would switch it to another driver and for me to just head in. Soon as I hit the highway a message came in my board to take a lunch, and wait for the pickup. I called my Sup and he told me to take the lunch, even when I told him I would rather come in. (Our Saturdays are straight time and they never let anyone take a lunch.) So I figured I would take the lunch to help their numbers, that's fine with me as long as I get paid for it. Last night I looked at my time card and they took the hour lunch out of my pay. I asked why and their response was "Well you did take the lunch." (Like I had a option..) anyone have any similar issues?? Anything in that good book that can help me out?
If Saturday was your sixth punch, all you do is tell them you are code 05 for the day. You are only guaranteed 4 hours (at least here) on a 6th punch. If they want you to sit, tell them you are going to be paid for it. Also, never touch your board when you are moving in a vehicle. If you are in any type of accident, no matter how minor, your screwed. Just a stupid thing to do. And stop kissing ass to your supervisors, they are only going to take advantage or it and screw you in the end. Hope all of this helps.
