upstate I think the intent of the language is there to protect high paying jobs in specfic scenarios. It was meant to keep the company from continously using lower paid drivers to do higher paid work.
continuously, now there is an interesting word. see, i think that if there is an emergency, that is one thing, because there is no way you can plan for them. now, even if it is twice a year, you send her out knowing she is going to pick up packages that are "off limits" to her job classification, then you owe her the money.
If her sup is telling her to go out and do that work each day then she should demand and be paid the higher rate.
again, why should she demand it. you signed the contract stating that you will pay the rate if the job is performed.
thats kinda like taking advantage of a young lady. you just finished having dinner and sex. the agreement was that after sex, you would pay her $100. but because she now has some misguided belief (planted by you btw) that if you paid her, she would be nothing more than a hooker, she has some religious epiphany that what she did is great, without being wrong, as long as you dont pay her for the act. so you take advantage of her purely for your financial gain, not that you respect her belief system.
I think we violate the intent with random scenarios like this one.
your dang right you keep on violating intent. on a daily basis. and you keep on intending to violate as far as you can, with the occasional call on the carpet grievance to keep you in check.
you guys try to make it out as a management taking advantage of her
wow, and your not????? please, tell me you did not just have the brain fart to post that sentence? you are taking advantage of her, and you know it.
scenario to justify the attempted theft.
what attempted theft? there was no attempt, you did steal from her, to make your silly little numbers look good. and you know that is the real reason, not the extra money. if you show her as a driver, she ends up in the report as such, so you have to eat her time. and you really dont want that, now do you. so instead, you steal from her, and then have the splendid defense that it is her fault, because of her misguided beliefs? geez tie, surely you can do better than that.
In reality she knew if anyone else was in the area
oh really? so now we are letting part time air drivers be in charge of dispatch? holy cow, you guys are really scared you are getting fired, arnt you, to already be authorizing part time hourly to be in charge.
and she did the right thing for the customer.
we really dont know for sure one way or another if this is the case. all we have was the excuse that she was told to do so, and she did as she was told. so she did the right thing per the contract. she was instructed to pick up the packages by management. the customer service is nothing but another ups red herring to side track the actual case.
She then weighed all factors and decided it would violate her personal belief system to ask for the higher rate.
but you dont have one dang problem with tossing your belief system out the door to allow you to save the extra money and the few clicks on the report, do you? and you really dont understand the contract either that keeps you from changing what is written, to what you feel good about.
you folks should have educated her on the intent of the language
what, after you have told her how it is going to be, if she ever wants a full time delivery job, she is to be the team player you want her to be? you want us to educate her? it was you that pulled the wool over her eyes that caused her to report after the fact, that it was to "give" the customer service
you have abused your position at ups to manipulate a green employee to do your bidding, violate the contract, and feel great about it afterwords. see paragraph about sex above if you still dont get it.
lauded her for her principles
as long as her principles increase your bottom line, and improve your margins, you are a great respecter of them, arnt you?
what about people who's religious views and beliefs say its wrong for them to work after sundown on fridays, and during the day saturday? you dont have one qualm about violating their belief, now do you? and i can name hundreds if not thousands of other beliefs that ups and their management has no problems violating.
and left it alone. Not try to encourage, justify and blast her for not engaging in theft.
now aint that just like a sup. they are stealing from her, yet he has the gall to say we are blasting her for engaging in theft. what about the theft you engaged in. thats right, you.
