[QUOTE="verratio, post: 1200442, member: 49915"] On my sort, (at a large Hub) We actually have FT responders, who bid on those positions... Our problem is different then what is stated in this thread. They initially Offered 6 FT responder buds, with a Midnight Responder, Preload Loader split. They start at 10:30PM, but are off the clock at 3AM, and our sort runs to nearly 4AM regularly. When the FT hit there 4hrs. They are gone, leaving just the handful of PT responders to do whatever work is left over. Leaving work for another sort is frowned upon, since management, theoretically, should extend the run time to allow for the packages to be proceeded during the sort. I know I am waylaid with my own responses during the course of a night, so cleaning up a previous sorts work on top of my own, is going to only create bad blood between the sort workers. It is up to management to adjust things to meet the needs of their sort. If a sort has designated to leave work for another sort, they should start the following sorts responder(s) earlier. If they want to put a responder on a sort to cover where there is a gap, them they are just going to have to add an employee to the sort, no "bumping" needed. It shouldn't fall on the hourlies to come up with the budgeting to pay someone for a shifted, or doubling employee. The company is just going to have to bite the bullet, and work their current complement, plus 1. [/QUOTE]
