Every time I work more than 12hrs or work too much OT like I did last pay period, my DSP splits my pay into two. I don’t know why or what they’re looking to gain from doing this, but I’ve noticed the pattern. More specifically, they completely deleted my time punches from ADP so there’s no record of a certain day, and pays me with a separate paper check, for which there is also no record of on ADP, instead of my regular direct deposit. It looks like I’m being paid OT but it’s too unusual and consistent for it to be a mistake.

I’ve attached ss below. In this example, my punches from 4/14 were deleted and paid out separately. I worked 10:20-22:15 with one 30 min break. I use a third party app to track my hours for my own record keeping for this exact reason and I’ve screenshotted what the pay period was supposed to look like(blue app). The company uses ADP to punch in and out. Although I didn’t work 12+ hrs in one day for this pay period, in the past, the company takes the exact same approach. We also only punch in and out for 1(one) 30 minute break, regardless of how many hours we work that shift, and have never seen any premium pay for missed breaks during longer shifts. I also wouldn’t know how or to whom I should talk about this when it comes to Amazon or the station.

Any help would be dopeee since idk anything about California’s labor laws. Appreciate all of ya’ll, and stay safe out there

Just started the job this week and drove an EDV for my first solo route. Everything was in a senior living community so it was easy to knock out each house. I ended up doing 2 rescues, one being four bags and some overflow and the last one was dropping off a battery for someone because their key fob wasn’t working. I have a good system for organizing my bags and I’m still tweaking some things as I learn. I’ve learned so much from this sub like putting the seat belt on the wheel to not have to reach all the way behind you again. Or how to pack a lunch for the road (I’m used to hot lunches at my old fulfillment center).

But I still have some questions!

  1. How do you guys take breaks?
    During my ride along we took no breaks. Just straight work. And on my first solo I took two 15 min breaks to eat.
  2. What are some ways yall like to organize your bags?
    I like using the shelves as they empty up to place packages by street name.
  3. Any tips for new people you wished someone told you when you first started?

Ok, after I finished my route and returned to the station, I was backing into the parking spot (it was dark) and I accidentally lightly backed up into the pole next to the spot which had a plastic protector around it. It hit the back step that’s on the van, so no damage.

My question is. Should I report this? Will they automatically know? Any other Amazon DSP’s out there that could give some info?

It’s much appreciated!

Dispatching help

What’s the hardest part of dispatching for you guys?

For me the biggest learning curve was:

  • managing rescues correctly
  • dealing with drivers who fall behind
  • and honestly disputes/scorecards

I feel like most dispatchers get thrown into the role with almost no real training and are just expected to figure it out as they go.

Over time I started building systems/checklists for basically everything because it was the only way to stay sane during bad shifts.

Curious what everyone else struggles with the most?
