What is top rate at Fed ex? What is the progression to get it? How much vacation and sick days?
If you scroll through the posts you'll see one titled "Payscales". How much you top out at depends on which payscale you are under. When I started in '86 it took 23 months to top out but that was stretched out over the years to the point where it could possibly take 40+ years to top out. I'm a rehire at almost 13.5 years, and make $4.40hr less than topped out employees. I was making $4.27hr less until the last raise in March. That's been the case for about 4 years now, losing ground instead of catching up. The latest pay scheme which started in March is supposed to address this by speeding up time to top-out a bit, but it will still take a very long time. A newhire will receive 3% annual raises until he reaches the midway point between starting pay and top pay. He then gets 5% raises until he gets to the 4th quartile when he'll get 6% raises until he reaches top-out. The catch is that if they raise either starting or top pay then the mid-point moves up. So at 3% raises they'll be chasing the mid point and better raises for a very long time. And there's no guarantee that FedEx will even keep it's word about giving even these small raises. It's all smoke and mirrors.
A newhire will receive 2 weeks vacation after working 1 year, 3 weeks after 5 years, 4 weeks after 10 years, and 5 weeks after 20 years. 5 paid sick days a year that are paid to you as a bonus for the days you don't take.
