Prework Communications Meeting (PCM)
Today's Date: February 24, 2009
For use by: The week ending February 28
Audience: West Region hourly and mileage-paid employees (Excluding WI.)
Subject: Off-the-Clock Work/Meal and Rest Periods
Introduction:
UPS Freight does not encourage or permit unpaid work. The purpose of this PCM is to
remind all hourly and mileage-paid employees of UPS Freight's policies on off-the-clock
work and to review requirements regarding meal periods.
Key Messages
Paid Work:
As we have said before, you should never perform any work before your start time or
after clocking out, unless a manager or supervisor specifically instructs you to do so.
If so instructed, You should clock in and you will be paid for your work.
Meal Periods:
- Meal periods are required; UPS Freight policy requires that all full-time employees
take at least a 30 minute, uninterrupted meal period each and every day.
- Your meal period cannot begin earlier than three hours or later than six hours after
you clock in.
- You may not skip any portion of your meal period.
- The occasional situation where hourly and mileage-paid employees ask permission
to skip a meal period and leave work early at the end of the workday is Not Allowed.
- If you feel that you cannot perform your duties and need to take your meal period,
you must advise your manager of the problem and get instructions on what to do.
- No work during meal periods; You may not perform work during meal periods,
including activities such as moving freight, sending electronic messages or calling
the service center or dispatch.
Accurately Recording Meal Periods:
- Road Employees must record all periods and meal times on their DOT Logs. The
service center management team is responsible for auditing those logs.
- City Employees must record the start and finish times of their meal period by either
clocking out and in if they are in the facility, or by recording their meal period in the DIAD.
- Other Hourly Employees must accurately record the exact times they start and
finish their meal periods by clocking out when they begin a meal period, and clocking
back in when they have completed a meal period.
Rest Periods:
Timing of rest periods - employees have the right to take certain paid rest periods.
Rest periods should be taken as follows:
- A 10-minute paid rest period during the first half of your third hour
- A second 10-minute paid rest period during the first half of the seventh hour
- A third 10-minute paid rest period to be taken no later than three hours after you
- complete your second paid period.
You are authorized and permitted to take each of the rest periods discussed. If you feel
that you cannot perform your duties and take your required rest periods, you must call
management to advise us of the problem and get instructions on what to do. If you do
not contact us, we will assume that you had the opportunity to take a rest period. Hourly
employees are paid at their regular hourly rates during their rest periods. Payment for
rest periods for mileage-based employees is included in their mileage rate.
No work during rest periods - as with meal periods, you may not perform any work
during your rest periods.
Notifying the Center:
You must notify management as soon as possible if:
- For any reason you do not take all required meal or rest periods.
- You perform any work during your meal or rest period.
- You work before your scheduled start time.
- You work after signing off the DIAD or clocking out at the end
of the day.
Conclusion:
Being paid for all the time you work and taking all required meal and rest periods are
required by UPS Freight policy. Please follow all procedures as outlined.
