in our center we have to take a full hour lunch, I just finished my 30 days and have gotten in trouble a few times for not taking a full hour. Its hard to make the numbers look great without doing that though
How do you take a lunch?

i think the contract says lunch between hours 4-6 of the work day. however, it also says that a lunch cant get in the way of satisfying business and air stops. so, i personally take my lunch after all work is complete. i drive half way back to the building so that i wont be told to help anyone and take lunch. depending on my travel path and my mood, ill usually go to the gym or to my house. its not a bad feeling to work out and get paid for it.

the idea is simple. take a lunch. if you dont take a lunch you still have to charge it. thus, you are giving UPS a free hour of labor. the key is simple, find something you want to do and need to do and do it while on lunch. because if you got to do something you know youre going to have to wait until the weekend otherwise

We have a few guys who give half an hour to their full hour away every day just to please management. I did the math to one of them assuming he only gave them 30 min every day
2.5 hours of ot every week even at 18hr. Over 300 a month your giving ups. That's a decent car payment on something nice. But hey to each their own
If any of u lunch skippers enjoy working for free so much I have some yard work I can use getting down. Willing to pay you a six pack which is more than ups gives u for the free work u do.

If you don't put it in the DIAD you aren't giving anything for free.

It depends. Some locals you are required to take a lunch and that time will be taken out of your paid day whether you enter a lunch or not.
They used to do that here. Not anymore.

I can't imagine that is legal. Here what you put in is what you get. Though if you want to take less than the break you have the right to take we ask you to sign a waiver. It's basically to say you are making the decision to do it, and we aren't coercing you into it. You still have to do 10 minutes unpaid, on top of your 20 min paid break.

Sounds illegal. Here we are not allowed to do that.

I put down my wrenches, wash my hands, open my lunch box, and proceed to consume the contents inside.

In our center the lunch topic is brought up almost daily. You MUST take your hour lunch everyday and no recorded stops during lunch. Union is really shoving it down the company's throat.
