Peak volume

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Make sure you write down,all of your hours. Keep track,so you don't get short changed.They love screwing up,part time payroll.

 

[watdaflock?]

Can't force you to come in.

yea yea yea...what is it a 24 hour rule?

Close enough for me. I'm not that much of a prick not to come in.

 

[HardknocksUPSer]

They need me to come in, my sup couldn't load my cars lol, but yes I always always always write down my start time and clock out time!

No but who leaves an hour of OT on the table? These trainees piss and moan they want hours...but not one of them bothered to show up on Saturday for the sort in my center.

My hub built another building to handle our volume. We call out Christmas village. We are also starting before midnight on Wednesday on preload.

It's not always an hour of OT , especially if you are a part-timer signed up on an 8 hour list.

What's the earliest preloaders have ever had to come in? We were told to come in at 2:45 on Monday, it's not goina be a good week.

We come in at 1am on Monday, 12midnight on Tuesday 11:50 Tuesday/Wednesday and a little after 1 Thurs and Fri

That sucks for them....my supplement says the PTer must agree to be scheduled for an 8 hour shift...which I would never agree to. I'll gladly work my 9 hour shifts with no unpaid lunch breaks and OT after 5.

Hold the phone. Peak time or not....read your supplement. I don't know about yours...my supplement clearly states...whatever the posted start time is on Tueaday (say 1am)...that is the start time for the rest of that week. They can't say 1am Tueaday...and 2am on thursday and friday...assuming your supplement says the same as mine. Unless, the employees don't say anything and agree to start at the later time.

Find out ASAP....don't let them screw you out of OT!!

Yeah, when you are low on seniority and want hours guaranteed, you must sign the list. Although, they'd probably get the hours anyway...it's a way for UPS to control the bargaining.

Low seniority or not...how can they force someone to sign a list?

I remember some midnight report times last year so most likely will be even earlier this peak for me.


question-
What time does night sort usually get done in your hub?

 

[Kis124]

If you're asking me...I don't really know. I've been there 7 years and still don't pay attention to local sort. Only time I ever see them is when I cover the customer counter in the afternoon. But, I know car wash has to work around them

 

[watdaflock?]

Arrogant Bastard Ale do your thing....let me sleep for a few hours before I gotta be up around Midnight! (gettin' my drunj on...) Ya's gatta love a four+ hour shift in your sleep pattern in a weeks time.


Good times at UPS.
Considering volunteering for night sort and working through AM preload. Anyone do this?

 

[HardknocksUPSer]

Can't be any diffrent than preload then jumping on the truck a hr later with a driver for driver helper.

Wrong. Night sort is at night and I park at the hub.
If jumping you park somewhere in public and working throughout the day.

Hope this helps.

What hrs do you work in night sort? Not even sure if my center has a night sort...

Most centers don't have a night sort.

 

[PT Car Washer]

Night sort is a hub operation. We call it the midnight sort. Starts at 11:00PM

If you agree to double shift....you can lose the right to OT after 5 and can get OT only after 8 hrs...depends on your supplement, of course.
