Have a Covid pay issue?

Got some jerkweed response, "sent to EPL specialist, could take 2 weeks for a response".
If it's not in this weeks check, I'll do the HR ticket.
Hey brother, when I first submitted I was approved for 10 days pay without issue.
But like you wasn't paid in timely manner and even gave it ample time.

Call number and you go overseas (SHOCKER) and they say they will look into it. Get a follow up email from that and it says "can take up to 14 days to receive response/pay.
So I let that time frame go by and hear nothing, call (overseas again) and they now tell me they will escalate the issue. Get email soon after saying just that "can take up to 14 days".

Hear nothing and see no pay adjustments. So I brought it to my managers attention as I heard from another guy that he had same issue and long wait. Manager put in an inquiry to payroll and they got back to him promptly to my surprise saying I would have adjustments on my next check and sure enough I did.

So long story short I say toss it in your managers lap and try going that route as it seems more direct and got results quickly.
Regardless, pretty crappy they have us jumping thru hoops to obtain what's promised and deserved.

First remark I made to the OMS after getting it was to code it as COVID emergency leave...

They didn’t have one and that was over a year into the pandemic...I knew then that I was going to be stonewalled.

I wonder just how many of our members simply gave up?

Yes, I know I'm working late.

They intentionally made it difficult. Ups makes everything more complicated than it has to be. Creates jobs for management and saves money due to the frustration.

OK, got email saying a "computer coding error has prevented your case from moving to payroll".
What do you think? Made up BS?

Anyhow, they say it has been corrected....

Mine was pretty smooth in March. Caught it the last day or two of a cruise.
Email info. Onroad/OMS coded as called in. Code changed a few days later to covid pay I believe.
Pay was on next weeks check. Hey we did something right! Not all but most others in the center that I know of had an acceptable experience with the process.

I imagine quite a few give up as it was quite ridiculous.

Ok, got the covid pay in this week's check. They took back the sick day pay, so that's good. Won't know till next week's check to see if the sick days are back in my unused days.

Thanks @Jackburton , that worked.

Good thing I wore my brown pants
Ive had to submit 3 seperate HR tickets. They keep cancelling them without moving it forward.

I will now open a new one EVERYDAY, until it is resolved.
Does anyone forsee a problem with this?

Our center did a good job with this..seemed that the supervisor that was in charge of dealing with it got on it right away…thanks to pressure from steward. Call the union hall, let the ba know and raise hell.

Currently dealing with this. Parent is sick with the coof. I know Cali still has ten days of paid leave if a household member is exposed. Not sure what else to do besides calling the Hartford, and the UPS Covid hotline. I let my business agent know, so in case any surprises pop up when I return to work I know I covered myself with him. Tbh, I just want to return to work, but having paid days off before peak really kicks in would be nice, lol.
