Why is an 8 hr request not really 8 hours?

[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 542607, member: 18044"] To clarify: 8-hour requests only apply to package car drivers. They get up to two 8-hour days per month, but none in November and December. 2 hours straight-time penalty pay is only due if driver works over 8.5 hours. UPS can approve an 8 hour day and later cancel it at any time and just pay a two hour penalty pay. Drivers must ask in writing five days in advance, be willing to start early, and be willing to finish the route no matter what if it comes to that. If the driver goes over 8.5 hours, he only gets the two hours penalty pay if it is UPS' fault. No penalty pay is due if it is thought to be the driver's fault or if it is the fault of circumstances beyond UPS' control. As Hoaxter might say, it's not an 8-hour [U]guarantee[/U], it's just a [U]guideline[/U]. [/QUOTE]
