[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 696899, member: 4653"] I understand this. I run my lunch a handful of times every year. It stems from needing to be home for a reason or a jump-start on a certain get-away weekend. I don't even bother asking for a paid lunch. I just don't want to go through the riga-ma-role that it takes to get a 'code 5'. I don't do it often, so i'd rather just eat it. Most times that I do this I end un punching out 30-45 minutes before 8 hours. We get paid a 8 hour day even if we work less, so I consider it a wash most times Now that I'm on the subject, why is UPS so hell-bent on me taking the hour lunch? I'm punched out at 1655 and you need me to put a lunch hour into the DIAD? I've been posting this for a while on Browncafe and still have not heard a legit response so I will ask it again. Please, I'm looking forward to everyone's opinion: Why does UPS force us to take the hour lunch? Why can't we just take what we need and enter that into the DIAD? I used to think maybe UPS thought the drivers were taking extra time. Now that we have [I]Telematics[/I] UPS knows everything and we can't pull the wool over their eyes. Again, why the hour lunch? Is it simply for the fact that UPS is counting on the free labor from its "lunch runners"? How ethical is this practice? [/QUOTE]
