I just became an employee of UPS. today was my second day. I am working for the air hub at an airport. I am making 8.50/hour. My schedule is 6am-11am. Tuesday - Saturday.
In the two training days we haven't discussed payroll or anything. About how much taxes would I get taken off my paycheck each week. Lets assume I work the full 5 hour shifts and I don't get out early.. that's about 220/week. Out of the 220 how much do I keep.
I am asking this because I know UPS is with a Union and I never worked with a Union before, I do not know if there are extra charges that apply or what happens.
Thanks,
New Employee
Hey Head,
Welcome to UPS and the browncafe forum.
To answer your question I would need to be a tax attorney in your state.
There are just too many factors to figure in to give you an honest answer myself.
I will tell you this, however. You're paycheck is going to be about 50 bucks, lol.
I'm sorry to poke fun, but its the truth. First, you will never work the 5 hrs. Its more like 4 or 4.25, so your gross will now be under $200. Subtract taxes (look on the bright side, Uncle Sam is taking peanuts from you here
), union dues, the initiation fee, and then fill your tank for $60 to get to work and you are left with about $5! LOL
5 bucks to bust your but every night at UPS.
Ok, to be serious when I started UPS paid the initation fee for the week if we worked everyday and was on time and worked safely. We were also given a $40 bonus on the Twi-sort if we did the above.
I took home about $160. Do they still have the bonus? I haven't heard about around here in years. Times were much better in 1999.
