[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 501688, member: 9789"] Make sure you have a copy of the inside list and the driver list with your name on it. If you have a copy of that - you are in the driver seat. I personally don't think you will have to go through a lot of hoops but I do understand your concern. UPS does have a history of screwing things up but if you have copies of your requests you should be OK. You will be made whole and dove-tailed in. I also think it is a good idea to send a letter (certified) of your intent to the District HR Manager. Include your intent - concerns and military status. In all my years with UPS, I have not run across anyone who was not made whole after returning from military duty. There was only one case where an employee worked as a clerk in the office where the orders were issued (actually typed up the orders!) and he forged his own to get a few extra days! He had to go through some BIG hoops to get his job back (besides the military implications)! You are only going to be gone for 4 months so most if not all the HR department should be there when you get back. If you were gone for two years - it might be a different story. For all military on extended orders or oversea duty.... I recommend forwarding a copy of your military orders at least once a year to your HR department (certified) so there is no confusion on your intent to return to UPS. If the HR department does not hear from you they will send you notices at your last known address and you will get a job abandonment notice. [/QUOTE]
