If you are full time, yes it does., but there is a caveat. After a certain amount of time on disability-( sorry I do not know the length of time)- UPS does not contibute to your pension. We have a 20+yr driver thinking he was gaming the system by being out on disabillity for various reasons. He thought he would retire after 25yrs, he had only earned 8yrs towards retirement.I'm doing everything I can to get back to work. I've gone to physical therapy and have done what is needed. I have a torn labrum and my doctor told me I'll be needing surgery. I'm not "milking" the company. I'm proud to work with UPS and would not do something like that. Now...if someone can tell me without making assumptions....does my time off count with the company?
You could always try worrying about rehabing yourself to get back to work rather than worrying how much time you can milk from the company and still count it towards you retirement.

I'm finding this story hard to believe. Like Welfare Queens picking up their monthly checks in shiny new Cadillacs, and buying lobster and Caviar with Food Stamps.. . .

Spoken like a true bosshole.You could always try worrying about rehabing yourself to get back to work rather than worrying how much time you can milk from the company and still count it towards you retirement.
You Know, people like Cement(head)Ups, on this site make me so angry. ...... Sorry, that made me mad.
We need more 747's.That's allright, you feel better now?
You Know, people like Cement(head)Ups, on this site make me so angry. He jumps down the throat of theUpsman for "milking an injury". Unless he knows personally that he is faking an injury, either answer the question or keep to yourself. I have been out with a broken foot, been to three Doctors and two different physical therapists to "speed" up my recovery, but will tell you this. I will not got back till my Doctor tell me its OK, and also I know that I will be physically able to without further injuring myself. I also was wondering about the same question theUPSman had. Sorry, that made me mad.
I've been out work on disability for 2 months now for an off the job injury. Does this time on disability count towards being employed with the company?

A 20+ year driver just now realizes he is missing 12 years of pension credit?
Didn't the Pension Fund send him yearly statements?
Didn't he ever read the pension credit rules in the Supplement, or Summary Plan Description (SPD), or visit the pension website?
Didn't a steward or fellow worker give him a heads-up?
Didn't he ever ask anyone?
Rather, I would assume he would be an expert in such matters if he has been out on disibility off-and-on for over 12 years. (Assuming pension contributions continue for a period of time before stopping with each new disability period.)
