Article 22 - Part-time Employees, Section 5 - Wages, (a) & (b)
I started 8/21/07, I received my first $.50 90 days later. Now on Aug. 1st will I receive the intial new contract raise and my addional $.50 on 8/21/08 ? How is this going to work? I don't see me being able to get a $.80 raise in a single month..
Kyle,
Like most things on BrownCafe, the more people you ask, the more different answers you'll get.
I've been "charting" the confusing wage schedules for part-timers for the last few contracts. Here's how I interpret this one . . .
You get a 50-cent raise on August 1, 2008 because you are switching from the 90-day pay rate of the old contract, to the 90-day pay rate of the new contract. This means you don't get the 35-cent raise, unfortunately.
Then on August 21, 2008 you get a one year progression raise of 50 cents. And a 35-cent raise on February, 1 2009.
Article 22 - Part-time Employees, Section 5 - Wages, (a) & (b)
Under Old Contract:
8-21-07...... $8.50 Start Date/Seniority Date
11-21-07... $9.00 Start Plus 90 Calendar Days (50-cent progression raise)
New Contract Raises Now Take Effect:
8-1-08........ $9.50 (50-cent progression raise.) The 90-Day Rate In New Contract now applies to you. No 35-cent raise because the 50-cent raise exceeded it.
8-21-08...... $10.00 (50-cent progression raise.) The only Anniversary Raise you'll get. Future Anniversary Raises in years two, three, and four are moot because you will already be making more than those rates.
2-1-09........ $10.35 (35-cent raise)
8-1-09........ $10.725 (37.5-cent raise)
8-21-09........ Zero. You are already making more than $10.50
2-1-10........ $11.10 (37.5-cent raise)
8-1-10........ $11.475 (37.5-cent raise)
8-21-10........ Zero. You are already making more than $11.00
2-1-11........ $11.85 (37.5-cent raise)
8-1-11........ $12.275 (42.5-cent raise)
8-21-11........ Zero. You are already making more than $11.87
2-1-12........ $12.70 (42.5-cent raise)
8-1-12........ $13.175 (47.5-cent raise)
8-21-12........ Zero.
2-1-13........ $13.65 (47.5-cent raise)
[8-1-13...........NEWS FLASH FROM THE FUTURE: UPS announces it may be forced to declare bankruptcy unless Teamsters Union negotiators allows it to pay Minimum Wage to new-hire part-timers for five more years! "Thirty-one years of $8.00/$8.50 has not been enough. We can't compete. We need concessions," a UPS spokesman said.]

There could be yearly Cost Of Living Adjustments, but only if the COLA formula is triggered. Usually inflation isn't high enough to trigger the payment.
Raises ending in a half cent may be rounded up to the next higher cent. If so, this may add up to 4 cents additional.
The above rates all assume you are under the "All Other" pay rate. If you switch at any time to the "Preloader/Sorter" pay rate, add a dollar to the rates from that point on.
