[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5305186, member: 93115"] Are you a seasonal employee or a permanent employee? Odds are if you don't know for sure--you are seasonal. Starting after Memorial Day (but before Labor Day) or during peak is one of the ways the company plays games. They will fire you around Labor Day and if you were a good worker ask you back for peak. Happens all the time. We have people that lost 3 months to it last year and I was shocked they stayed. Had I known when they did it to me: I would have never agreed to their 17.5 hours a week @ $8.50 an hour job. [B]It's a game they play to save on benefits and labor costs. [/B]Even if you are fired on a Friday and re-hired the following Monday--yes they will make you re-apply and fill out paperwork that becomes your new start date. And all your benefit clocks reset to zero (as long as it is before Labor Day). People finally told them to get bent this past year and UPS is crying about not being able to get anyone (esp on preload). If we had a stronger union they wouldn't have been able to pull this nonsense in the past. Now with the labor market begging for workers around $15 an hour are in such demand it makes no sense to work for a company continue treating any employee this way. [/QUOTE]
