You are being paid for the time when you’re on training, however it always puts it into a different category on my paycheck. Here the only unpaid time is meal. Break is paid time but doesn’t count towards the 60/70 hour rule. OD time will always go down as generally it is counting down based on the 14 hour rule. The exception to this is when you start your day and have limited hours due to the 60/70 hour rule.
You going to take advice from him?
@Special UPS Operator : most likely you are on the 2-week training program, and the first week is unpaid (per your Local's contract). If this is the case you should only be handling/moving empty equipment (trailers). For example: pre-trip and assemble a set (doubles), take a long practice drive (say to a couple other hubs/railyards/centers), then return to your hub, post-trip, break apart set, park empties & dolly. If you are moving loaded trailers or making pickups or trailer swaps at customers, you should be paid.
I’m soo confused !!
Not off the street, a part-time employee; who has barely even been here long enough to be considered permanent.
AFAIK, all he (or she) has is a CDL, no experience. Perhaps I am mistaken about that.
