UPS Offers Bonuses of Up to $125 Per Week to Hires in Columbus, Toledo
August 03 2017 - 9:00AM
UPS® (NYSE:UPS) announced today that it is offering weekly bonuses
of up to $125 for package handlers and $500 for tractor-trailer
drivers hired at three facilities in Ohio.
Employees eligible for the bonuses include package handlers in
Columbus, Obetz and Toledo, and tractor-trailer drivers across the
state. Both new hires, and current employees hired after January
1st, 2017, are eligible.
UPS is looking to fill nearly 1,900 current part-time and
full-time openings in three facilities in the Columbus and Toledo
areas, including nearly 500 at its facility at 5101 Trabue Road in
Columbus, over 400 at 2450 Rathmell Road in Obetz, and nearly 1,000
at 1550 Holland Road in Toledo. And the company will be staffing up
soon for the busy holiday shipping season – it added around 100,000
seasonal hires last year across the country.
The bonuses are either $500, $125, $100 or $75 per week,
depending on employees’ job, location and the shift they work. The
bonuses are in addition to employees’ regular salary and are paid
weekly; eligible employees must work each scheduled day in a given
week to receive that week’s bonus.
“We’re looking for hundreds of Ohio residents to join our team,”
said Renee Roberts, UPS HR director. “Permanent UPS jobs –
including part-time jobs -- come with excellent pay and benefits,
including healthcare and retirement benefits. And at most of our
locations, part-time employees in college are eligible to receive
up to $25,000 in tuition assistance through our Earn and Learn
program.”
UPS has used what it calls market rate adjustments to help with
staffing its operations since 2013. It is offering the bonuses in
areas where the unemployment rate is low and the job market is
competitive. The company says the extra cash has been successful in
helping it both attract and retain employees.

UPS employs 434,000 people globally, including over 8,900 in
Ohio.
