Grade 20 is payroll speak for DISTRICT MANAGER.
An Operations Manager is grade 19. A Division Manager is grade 18. A center manager (business manager, whatever) is grade 16.
A division manager is a higher grade than an operations mgr. Otherwise the boss would make less than the managers that report to him/her.
Ah, no, the hierarchy is: Division Manager reports to Operations Manager reports to District manager.
Don't know what you are referring to regarding "the boss". In many districts, the ops manager runs the district operations day-to-day, while the District Manager does strategic stuff with customers.
I misunderstood. When you referred to an Ops. Mgr. I thought you were talking about Sort/Center Mgrs. Division manager=sort manager's boss. My fault.
It is not as dire as it appears at first glance. For the PPO option, the premium will range from $52.50 (single) up to $ 228 (employee & family) per month.
The in-network annual deductible ranges from $ 250 (single) to $ 500 (family); with an out of pocket expense cap of $ 2000 (single) & $ 4000 (family) for in network coverage.
It is a one sized fits all plan, regardless of grade. Even Scott Davis gets the same coverage as everyone else in the plan.
The big difference is that for the average UPS manager with a family, the out of pocket max represents about 4% of their total compensation (salary, 1/2 month & MIP); for Scott its about 0.08% of his total compensation.
emergency room visit +10 doctor visits and multiple medications for a new acute condition 8/09 -current. the out of pocket fees can run up quickly. Healthcare in America just like every other business is profit driven. Remember under the rules of capitalism profits must be maximized!So what are they paying in your neck of the woods?
Another way they can cut cost, is the six figure salary guys that sit behind me i catch sleeping at their desks 1 to 2 hours out of almost everyday.....
Went to our meeting today. All I can say is that, once again, middle-management and the administative employees are being raped by our "leaders." The Traditional plan for 2010 will cost a family 3 times what they payed in 2009. How much further can middle-management's and professional employees' backs bend without breaking? It's outrageous that a company that makes money hand-over-fist can't take care of its employees any better. How can an administrative employee's family pay over $3000 for a plan (plus 15%) and a union employee's family pay $0?
Any suggestions on how to change the downward spiral before everything we have disappears?
Well the good news is you can still change your United Way eplege online thru UPSers.com etc. It might help a little next year.
