Oh, yes. If you have a family, it's variable, but a couple hundred per month easily.
I thought Canada had socialized medicine.

Just like every other non Union company

Co-pay. We pay 15%, FedEx 85%. My benefits cost more a month than the UPS guys' union dues.You pay for your benefits?
We do but prescriptions, glasses, chiropractor, etc. are not covered by provincial health care, leaving you to pay out of pocket or hope you have benefits.I thought Canada had socialized medicine.

We got a 6% raise last year so how did you only get .36 cents?Manager showed me my raise, up .45 cents was .36 cents last year. Lol
You must be UPS. This is a FedEx thread.You might have but I was making 11.90 last year and went up to 12.26. I was only a handler back then
My bad. I didn't know handlers were paid that little.I'm aware it's a Fedex thread, I am Fedex not UPS.
I think I made about $9.95hr as a handler in the Memphis Hub in '86. Things haven't changed much in 30 years.You might have but I was making 11.90 last year and went up to 12.26. I was only a handler back then
Handlers also went a few years with no raise (I think most recently fy14 & 15) even when everyone else got raises so they fell even further behind.My bad. I didn't know handlers were paid that little.
Market level is a scam..individuals didn't see their pay go to a higher market...in the long run you are able to earn more over time which defeats the purpose...I've worked 11 years as a driver for fedex ...I started in an A market...I transferred to a B market and lost $1.27 an hour in 2014...now they say the market level of B is the same as A...that's a lie..the scale is but not your pay...I got a whopping 74 cents which doesn't even cover the $1.27hr I lost 2 years ago...even if i transfer back to my old station I wouldn't get back that 1.27hr because it based on steps now and since the markets are the same I would move based on. Whatever step I'm in..which is #2...what a joke. What a pile of crap..thanks Fred11 year employee. Went from a B market level to the new base and got a 61¢ raise! I'm already making plans for what I'm going to do with all the extra money in my paycheck.
I can only dream to get 7-9% instead I got 4%...and being a swing I no longer get an additional. 30 cents an hour.Our Senior told our station the other day that most were getting around 7-9% raises based on where they fell in this step progression. We probably have new hires at a starting wage less than the step 1 on the chart that got their 3% raise then automatically bumped up to step 2.
I got 3.6% this year and am now on step 2...same as probably anybody in my station who were hired in the last 12 months. Good for them, but a slap in my face.
What's better is now that market B and Market A are under the same pay chart The 2 year employee who works in A market is is step 3 and the 10 year employee in market level B is in step 2.If the employee want to move between these markets they get to stay in the same exact step. Basically the 2 year employee could move to a B station and stay in step 3 because these 2 market levels are under the same payscale. Thus the 2 year employee is working side by side with the 10 year employee yet he's a whole step hire than him. interesting but 100 percent correct.2 year swing driver in A market $19.45 and 10 year employee market level B $18.60. any transfers between these markets and remaining a swing would result in each employee staying at their current pay rate.either way, the way they calculate the new raises is jacked up. you move starting pay in market level B up by 8%, but fail to give that 8% to everyone else. you give them 3% thus making the gap between new hire and midrange that much closer....again. I thought they said they were trying to address that issue before. how is it that 2-12 year employees will all be making pretty much the same money? someone here with 12 years will be making 17.50 just like someone wth 2 years under their belt.
