[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1270656, member: 42270"] PT Employees who didn't attain seniority before Aug. 1st won't be owed a retro check because of the $0.70/hr GWI raise (PT'ers with post-Aug. 1st 2013 seniority dates will be in the new PT progression) but [B]will[/B] be owed retro pay from the increase in starting pay ($8.50 to $10.00, minus the $1.00 raise after 90 days). The only way you could be canned for trying to go driving would be if you had a felony from before you were hired that you never disclosed or tried to conceal. I don't think they conduct pre-employment background checks on PT'ers and a lot of people slip under the net; any type of felony related to dishonesty (larceny, theft, forgery, etc.) will typically disqualify you from employment at UPS. I know for a fact UPS will conduct a background check on anyone trying to qualify in feeders and/or air operations (certain parts of the operation that directly involve loading air containers -- this is federal law) . Not 100% sure if they do the same for package car, but it wouldn't surprise me. When you go FT, you have a 30 working day probationary period. If you're DQ'd by the company (unless you get into a serious accident) or self-DQ, you simply go back into the building to your former position. Even if you were fired, you're already vested in the PT pension if you have at least 5 years of covered service - they can't ever take that away from you. Each PT year typically transfers over as 1/2 of a FT year -- ie. you work 10 years PT and go FT, you then have 5 years of credit towards your FT pension but you would have to work another 5 years FT to become vested in your "new" pension plan.
