shorting me on hours after clocking in....

[UPS A]

you are worried about ten minutes and not the hour

10 mins a day x 28 days of working here adds up. Its been every day they are shorting me the 10 mins. I just noticed yesterday

Talk to your supervisor to make sure they know you are going for mentoring early rather than just clocking in early.

I have people that show up way earlier than their start times, and UPS does not pay for people not on the clock... which begins when your start time is. I go over each of my people's time everyday to make sure they are accurate. However, if a sup doesn't know that you're coming in early for mentoring, they just assume you're coming in early and going to the bathroom or getting a snack before work.

Keeping tabs on your time using a planner is a good idea as well.

okay thanks Ill start doing that today

WTF is mentoring?

a joke and a waste of time. they go over all the crap you have to memorize or "you won't work here anymore"

8 keys of lifting and dehydration, lockouts...

I'll call the local later today because depending on what supervisor you ask they each say a different thing about being paid for mentoring. If they are requiring me to be there, my feeling is I should be getting paid

By law, if the are requiring you to be there, they MUST pay you. Period.

Yes, if you are required to be there, you should be paid for your time. Your start time should have been adjusted accordingly.

Print out your time card and/or pay stubs and submit a grievance asking for the lost time.

Yeah, it's always a waste of time when a more senior employee works with a newbie to get them up to speed.

It's like DIAD training, they rush us through it and give us the answers. Nothing is gained.

Anything they direct you to do for them is “on the clock”

 

[Mr. Sir]

That's what they do with all the newbies. Safety stuff.

Here they shame the newbies by making them wear a bright yellow safety vest for a month

That's ridiculous

Apparently the people who aren't smart enough to realize their pay starts at start time help others do the same thing. Smh

Safety is key, my dude. You may think its bullspit, but one day if there is a fire inside or an evacuation and you know your evacuation area, you'll be glad. (My hub is planning an evacuation soon, and dear god I am scared at the chaos that will go on.) Knowing your lifting and lowering keys is a great thing to know too... over time you'll feel terrible if you're lifting unsafely everyday.

As a loader I thought all of this was bull too, but as a supervisor, I've seen many people have to go on leaves for lifting related medical reasons, falls from obvious stuff... like keeping your area clear.

Stay Safe.

 

[Brownslave688]

You wouldn't believe the crap they do now.

They still having new drivers write a letter to the DM about how awesome ups is and how much they love the company?

What's lifting correctly?

Hint the research doesn't play out how ups tells you it does.

I believe they do this on a conference call.
