[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 91359, member: 198"] [COLOR=black]I've heard about full-time drivers transferring in hardship cases and that those are rarely approved. I transferred as a part-timer and that was hard enough. On paper, or in theory, a part-time transfer should be a relatively fast and simple provess. It's the management end of the deal that delays it. You have to be a pest about it or it won't go through. In my area this what is needed to transfer:[/COLOR] 1) At least one year of service with UPS 2) A written letter by the employee wishing to transfer stating that they want to transfer 3) Approval from HR (the top dog in HR in your district) and your full-time supervisor A transfer is supposed to be approved only if you are doing it for education reasons so some sups try and use that to their advantage. The main example of which is asking for proof that you will be attending a college in the area where you want to transfer to. My full-time sup asked for a copy of the acceptance letter to the university and a copy of my class schedule but neither was required. Some people initite the transfer way before they are even accepted to a college and some even start the process before they even apply. I wanted to already be settled at the new location well before starting school so I didn't yet have any proof that I would be going to school. It was a mess but I pushed through it. That is the key. You have to keep at them or it won't happen.
