[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 248682, member: 9789"] One of my jobs was a training manager in an regional air hub. The cost to train a new hire was approx $4000. This does not count the wage. It does include the recruitment, HR and training costs as well as any follow up training prior to the end of probation. Most of that cost is front loaded. Turnover can be dramatic depending on the area. Most of the time in the initial stages of employement these people do not leave because of wages. They leave because of some other issue. Generally, the work is to demanding or to physical or just isn't going to fit in with school or the other job. If UPS paid a higher wage initially to these folks, there would be a great deal of money wasted. I would rather reward the folks that stick it out after probation with a higher wage. This will give people an incentive to make it. Less turnover means more experience in the PT ranks and less wasted cost. [/QUOTE]
