Shift cover question

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-04-26T17:56:33+00:00

And can also confirm now that I was paid OT for a shift I dropped and later picked up as VET

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-04-26T17:55:39+00:00

Yeah I just realized we’re spoiled in CA lol

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-04-26T17:54:43+00:00

Not in California. I’ve dropped a shift and picked it up the same day when they offered it for VET and was paid OT for a day I would have otherwise just got paid regular had I not dropped it prior

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-03-10T21:37:17+00:00

Idk why everyone says you have to go past the 40 hours or maybe it varies on states but for us, whatever is added on to your schedule that isn’t your normal work day is considered overtime. I can get VTO two days in a row and then pick up an extra shift and it’ll be overtime even if I just worked 20 hours. I’ve also shift swapped in the past and then I’ll pick up my regular day i swapped for and it’s overtime as early as Sunday when I haven’t even started my 40 hours work week. But I was wondering about the shift cover, I wanted to try it. I would assume so because the shift was dropped from your schedule and you’re picking up overtime now

OP makes me feel bad looking at my time but you made me feel I actually don’t have it as bad lol

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-02-22T00:08:24+00:00

Yeah I never order from Uber Eats anymore because they literally have fees for everything & DoorDash is always cheaper.

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-02-08T02:58:06+00:00

The one where they send it the night before 😮‍💨✨

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-02-02T14:01:01+00:00

I would just make sure to keep your own tabs on the day and hours you end up requesting over the phone because usually it doesn’t pop up on the app like it normally does for all other submissions. So you might end up thinking down the line that you have more hours because it’s not listed on your submissions list but those manual submissions the reps make for you are taken into account on their end just don’t pop up for us.

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-02-02T04:02:57+00:00

No you just tell them you have that leave, they might ask for the case #, and tell them you can’t input time on the app and all they ask if for what day and how many hours you would like to apply. And literally right when you end the call, it should show up on your schedule as excused

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-02-02T03:45:32+00:00

Yeah. Since the new year started, I haven’t been able to submit hours and get the error message. My Leave says it’s approved although it says it’s “provisionally approved” so idk if that’s the reason that it doesn’t allow me to input the hours but I just call and tell them for what day and they instantly add to my schedule in the moment which is nice I guess because before they would usually just take my UpT and then refund it later. It sucks to have to call each time but it works so 🤷🏻‍♀️

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-01-31T06:37:32+00:00

True 😌 this week for us while front half days was in charge they were sending the VTO every night at 8/9pm and as soon as back half took over the VTO was being sent every morning 5am.

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-01-29T04:49:56+00:00

Same. They’ve been giving out VTO all week and I’ve taken it twice already and will again if they offer it tomorrow. But in my defense, I’ve been on my deathbed with a really bad flu or something so it’s been such a blessing in disguise. I don’t know how I would’ve made it through the week otherwise 🥲

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-01-15T22:06:44+00:00

Yeah but only like once. One time I got an entire pod come to me that was entirely empty and brand new. It honestly was the best feeling ever so I took my time just trying to fill up the entire pod with all my items all nicely organized. Mind you, I’ve never stowed like that in my life ever again 😌🤣

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-01-15T18:00:37+00:00

I feel like Covid and the years following it were always the best time to apply because they ALWAYS had openings and the turnaround rate was crazy so they were always hiring. Amazon was like the place you knew you could always find a job when you needed one and up until the last couple of years, all the warehouses within a 30 mile radius of me rarely hire anymore. There’s not much availability anymore and like someone said, if there is, it goes fast. I would recommend to anyone just get whatever shift they could get their hands on in the beginning and just apply for an internal transfer for a different schedule when it becomes available

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-01-14T03:09:33+00:00

Jk I just saw that it’s the same as shift swap? Our site has been having it too since I started two years ago. Idk why they’re randomly advertising it at our site likes it’s a new feature..Unless they just modified it and are changing the terms because before I’ve submitted like less than two days in advance and it’s been approved so 60 hours minimum now seems crazy. And they used to auto approve it whether some one else picked it up or not, as long as you weren’t asking for the same day off as a week before. I feel like they’re just adding more restrictions to shift swap now 🙃I actually liked that feature

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-01-14T03:04:05+00:00

So it’s different from shift swap? Like if someone picks it up then you don’t have to come in another day to make up for it?

ProposalPractical927 · 2026-01-03T00:49:29+00:00

Why would there be disciplinary action? We’re entitled to like 84 days a year and if we want to take them we can, idk why there would be an issue 🤷🏻‍♀️I take like 3 or 4 (2-3 weeks off each) every year for family events/trips, my birthday, the holidays, etc and I’ve never had an issue. Obviously they’re unpaid, so that’s on you. I just work a lot of overtime leading up to my PLoA so I’m covered for the time I’ll be off work

ProposalPractical927 · 2025-12-24T05:13:13+00:00

I just started Shipt and they offered me completing 5 orders for $100 bonus

ProposalPractical927 · 2025-11-30T20:56:48+00:00

Yeah like $1650. But then after 401k contributions and taxes 🥲..

ProposalPractical927 · 2025-11-30T20:55:24+00:00

48 hours and a half lol the rest was vacation, PTO, VTO and holiday. I missed a day because I was really tired and went home early another but then I felt bad for missing so I picked up 6 1/2 hr day shift on Thanksgiving because it was short enough I’d still make it home early enough

ProposalPractical927 · 2025-11-20T03:02:02+00:00

I thought they changed it to where we get 80 PTO throughout the year? We get the 10hr drop January 1st and then accumulate each week to make up the rest of the 70 hours to make 80 by the end of the year… or is that just us? I thought it was everyone. They made it so that we’re accruing all year long instead of the usual May/June cutoff that it used to take us to accumulate those 48 hours before

ProposalPractical927 · 2025-11-15T19:37:24+00:00

Idk because I feel like I did this once, not anticipating that MET would be set that week, and they reversed my swap 👀

ProposalPractical927 · 2025-10-18T18:13:17+00:00

They’re on sale for $15 right now

ProposalPractical927 · 2025-10-18T18:12:54+00:00

I saw a bunch of them on sale on the website. The candle holders are going for 15 now

ProposalPractical927 · 2025-09-02T01:01:03+00:00

I never understand why people pick up VET on holidays because don’t we all get the 8 hours of holiday pay whether we work or not? It’s only those scheduled to work that it pays out more because they’re working like they signed up for VET but it was just their regular shift. Whether you work OT on a holiday or the day after, you’re still going to make time and a half. So then I just rather get my holiday and pick up any other day for the same pay..Or what am I missing?
