Hello Allentownups
There is a wage progression for part-timers. In the current contract for preloader/sorter, it is as follows:
Start $9.50
Start + 90 calendar days $10.50
Seniority + 1 year $11.00
Seniority + 2 years $11.50
Seniority + 3 years $12.00
Seniority + 4 years $12.87
$1 less for all other p/t.
In addition you would receive a general wage increase each year of the contract. The total wage increase (all p/t positions) for each year is as follows:
2008 $.70
2009 $.75
2010 $.75
2011 $.85
2012 $.95
Following wage progression you would continue getting the general wage increases until you retire.
Let's talk about pension since you are interested in benefits.
$1,925 at any age after 35 years of Credited Service (750 hrs/yr ~ roughly 15 hrs/week)
$1,650 at any age after 30 years of Credited Service
$1,375 at age 60 with 25 years of Credited Service
$1,125 at any age with 25 years of Credited Service
I strongly urge you to view part-time at UPS as long term employment.
