Can someone on military absence have another person sign a preferred job sheet on their behalf? Or put into writing before they leave on absence?

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.
I tried looking it up for you but didn't see anything on that subject. I hate the damn books, they are like reading a bible in Latin. I'd ask a union steward or your business agent.

I doubt it. UPS will hold a job for you but its very unlikely you would be able to bid on anything.

How long will the employee be on military absence?

Good point. UPS will only hold a job for a couple of years. Otherwise it is considered a career move.

I believe they will hold the job for up to 4 years----anything beyond that would be considered a career move.

Your job will be there for you and you should be allowed to bid on preferred jobs during your brief absence.

I remember 10 years ago when my Guard unit was called up and sent overseas. Local HR lady told me I would not have a job with UPS after I came back. She later lost her job during the District consolidations.

If a job is bid while someone in the military is gone they are entitled to that job once they come back provided they have the seniority, are qualified to do the job, and aren't gone more than 5 years.
That, or something like that, was how it was explained to me in "Laymin's Terms" by the USERRA rep at one of the bases I was stationed at during my time in the guard/reserves.

I met a driver in Warner Robins when I was doing my "two weeks a year" gig at the base there that had been deployed (Marines I think) and passed up for a full-time package job while he was in Iraq. When he came back UPS didn't follow the law per USERRA and he had to fight them on the issue. Not only did he win but received a letter from corporate apologizing for the issue.
The USERRA rep at my first base told us he absolutely loved going to bat for reservists against their civilians employers. It was like being a hotshot lawyer that rarely loses in court. In fact, those employers that did actually fight it all the way to court were humiliated.
