I'm not working New Years Eve. Having a Four day weekend is far more important than pay.

So if you had worked today, like many package car drivers. If you were to work Saturday that should be double time correct?

I will be working. Easy $$$. Work 5-6 hours and be home in plenty of time for evening plans.

I will not have that option as it's considered extra work for us and the top guys will want it. I have Thurs-Mon off this week(Thurs is a lay-off no pay) and the same next week except I get paid for next Thurs that works for me.

No ground drivers will be needed for the Saturday after Christmas. Peak would be over, and it would be little solace to deliver someone's Christmas gift after Christmas. It will be a very light Saturday operation. I think it's more likely they have drivers on Christmas day.

I'm on vacation. As far as ups I concerned my phone goes off Christmas Eve when I clock out.

New Year's Eve is always a disaster, because ups never uses enough driver to allow anyone to finish in 5 or 6 hours. A four day weekend is worth more to me than ruining a perfect day off for time and a half pay. I get enough overtime all year long.

When I sign up I always let them know that I do not want to work all day and that I want to deliver on my and the adjacent areas. They are normally really good about complying with my requests.

As of the 1st of the year I will be the top seniority FT driver in the building.
That and a buck and a half will get you a cup of gas station coffee.

I'm taking the three day weekend. We are more than caught up and they aren't working us Xmas day. I won't come in if they did anyway.
I'm not working NYE either. Taking a 4 day weekend and we are going out of town.

The time off is worth more than the money.

New years eve day is the easiest money all year.
It is the only overtime I ever volunteer for.
$69 an hour and no conflict with church or family obligations.
I take all the extra stops the drivers around me don't want, and clock out last with around 10 hours worked.
$69 x 10 =$690 + $277 holiday pay=
$967 running air
