PT Package Handler, holidays + vacation question

[Legitimyze]

I have been working as a package handler for about 3 weeks now. I thought I was told we dont work major holidays, those are un-paid correct? And will I ever get personal/vacation days being part time?

Yes....you will get personal days, a week's vacation and paid holidays after a year.

Ok, so as of now the holidays are not paid? After a year of working I will get them paid?

Yes you get paid vacation weeks and paid sick days.

Once you earn seniority talk with your supe about the details.

We usually get major holidays off.

I always take a home a free ups calendar (ask around to get one) and they always have the ups holidays posted.

Talk to your steward. If you don't know who it is ask another part timer that has been there a long time. You have to work so much time to get these benefits.

Correct. Holidays will be unpaid until you've worked here a year.

Ok thanks, you mean so much time as in a certain amount of hours per week? Or like everyone else said 1 year?

I have told to come in every day so far, as long as that doesnt change I should be good. About 4 hours per day

You get them after a year. Sux when I started it was only six months
