[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 406836, member: 4653"] Its amazing how times have changed. When I first started part-time in 1999 there was jobs open on every shift The preload, day, twi, and midnight could not staff its operations. I remember drivers working on the Twi sort because they were so short handed! If I was "on call" at UPS I would have quit. How can they expect us to wait for a call to come to work to make $8.50 per hour? Like Over 9.5 said, if you are "on call" then you should be paid for it. Everyone else I know how works "on call" is paid for the day even if they don't work. I think you should ask the day before if they need you. UPS should tell you yes or no right here. If they say yes and you come in you will get the promised 3.5 hours. If they say "no" and then are short-handed I think its their problem. I don't think they can expect you to be on-call for a 4 hour shift and not be compensated for it! [/QUOTE]
