Probationary Period

[trig]

Hey guys, new hire preloader here. Started working in early August and have a couple questions which should be pretty easy to answer.

1. How long is the probationary period for new preloaders in CA? I forgot what my head sup. said when I first started and haven't received a consistent answer since (I've heard anywhere from 45-70 working days). For some reason, the UPS and Teamsters websites seem to be completely devoid of this information.

2. Does being brought on during summer make it more likely that i'll become permanent?

Cheers

Depending on if you're Southern Cali or not... Your probationary period would be 70 working days within a 6 month period.

Is it different for northern?

It's from the contract book I have which is the Western supplement. Only So Cal is part of the Western.

They need bodies so you will be permanent.

The way Preload is in my Hub, if you show up you have a job. I see new people touring the building every night when I walk out. We can't keep people.

LOL same in my hub. But, I'm about as far away from Cali as possible so we don't have the same period. It's 30 days here then you are perm. I showed up every day.

You looked familiar ... I probably met you in my travels through Joisey.

Considering I am fairly new to UPS, it would have had to be in the last 40 days or so. I was the woman walking extra slowly towards the guard shack/door if that helps. LOL

Next time say hi. I like shocking people by saying good night as I slow roll to the door. I usually remember to smile too.
