Veterans Day observance and pay

[Wilson1397]

Wow, you guys get shafted. What state?

Columbus and Veterans are $800 days!

What about Black Friday? Is that a holiday for you?

Yes

 

[Wilson1397]

That was Ron Carey's local. They got some good local supplements.

I have to tell my wife that I learn something tonight. She keeps saying I’m a no-it-all

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

So you're saying in the locals where we normally get time and a half, Friday will simply be straight time + 8 hrs Holiday.

Why would you get time and a half when it is not a holiday?

Straight time plus 8 hours for Saturday.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

What about Black Friday? Is that a holiday for you?

It is a holiday for all of us.

That will change with the new contract.

Yea, actually. And if I remember correctly, that may be the 3rd working holiday (OT rate + holiday). It just became a required work day 2 years ago. I can't remember if we got OT rate last year.

We get holiday pay plus double time for that one. You get 1 1/2?

 

[JL 0513]

Straight time plus 8 hours for Saturday.

That's the question. Friday isn't technically the holiday but it's the observed day relating to employment which is why millions of people actually get next Friday off. So it's conceivable that UPS would treat Friday as Veterans day.

Double time doesn't exist in my local. Advantage you this time.

Nope.

Do you save that money to put towards your 'premium' car?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Make sure it has all the bells and whistles.

 

[JL 0513]

Nope.

OK then.

 

[JL 0513]

Make sure it has all the bells and whistles.

It does.

Unless the contract states you get paid for it falling on a Saturday, UPS isn't going to conceive it as Veterans day.

They are not going to pay you extra out of the goodness of their hearts.

 

[MC0493]

Not considered a holiday here in 177 as far as I remember. Black friday is though.

 

[JackStraw]

We get election day as an optional holiday. You can elect to take off that day and get paid 8 hrs or, you can select any day as an "election day pay' and receive double time for all hours worked plus 8 hours. No veterans day or Columbus day though.

That’s surprising, they do so many other things out of the goodness of their heart!!!
