HR said I'm permanent, Sup say's I'm not

[Elmo.goes.to.prom]

HR never knows what they are doing.

Don't trust them.

You’re permanently seasonal

 

[PeakMode]

Doesn't matter what HR says. What the contract states is what matters. The master states you are a seasonal employee.

I'm a package handler and my start date was 10/30/2018. Before I was hired in my HR rep told me I would be a permanent worker as long as my start date was before 11/1/2018. So now I've worked 3 days and I talked to my supervisor today and was told that I am seasonal and that HR didn't know what they were talking about. This seems a bit ridiculous to me and I'm not sure how to handle the situation. Any advice would be appreciated, as I was really looking forward to making a career out of this opportunity. Thanks in advance.

My advice is, quitting now will not help your chances of being hired.

Think of it this way; you're hired but are still on probation, so you can be fired for practically no reason.

Not to be a ball buster, in the time period you got hired you wont make senority until peak. You can be kept permanently if managment wants to. Just do what your supes tell you to do and there shouldnt be an issue with them not wanting to keep you towards the end of your probation period.

Just another example of the awful labor practices at UPS.
Management is going to try and screw you at every turn.

I have been waiting a week after interview and haven't heard anything. I have talked to a guy at the hub and he says they need help bad. I figured it would be very fast getting on with peak here.

Do you have a locker ?

If your start date is between Oct. 15 and Jan. 15. in a non mgmt role with UPS....you are seasonal.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

You technically are seasonal. However, there is a good chance that they'll let you stay anyways. Atleast at my building, we kept a couple guys hired as late as December. Do a good job between now and January 15. If you work just 1 day after Jan. 15 then you are considered a regular employee with your seniority date reverting back to your hire date.

It also doesn't hurt to drop hints to your sups that you want to stay.

As long as you aren't a complete up, you'll be kept on. UPS hubs around the country are hemorrhaging part timers. The attrition rate with em is worse than BUD/S SEAL training.

How good are the health benefits? I've heard it's declined some and not as good as it used to be.

Still better than almost anywhere else. Employer paid Cadillac plan with $100.00 deductible.

Some folks like to bitch about it. But dentists' and doctors' offices still check plan benefits before you go back and say "Holy , we rarely see insurance this good anymore". Current health coverage is not a concern for me.

 

[Pneuma]

damn. hopefully I can stick to it cause I need better coverage.

Keep your head down and work as directed, good luck!

I know....I saw my dentist last month and they were all hot and heavy to do anything and everything. (I just did $8K in dental work...think I'm good for awhile)

This post has to be fake news. No way a supervisor was right about something.

 

[Pneuma]

well hopefully they let me know about orientation. I'm ready to work.

First night loading was pretty fun. Supervisor was very chill and hilarious even though she did hit me in the head with a package. Loading isn't bad just very fast paced. will I have to worry about PPH loading semi trailers twilight? Very small hub I'm at.
