Mileage Corrections

If you recently received a mileage check for dates in July and August of 2022, these are a rate correction to mileage previously paid.  

They were initially paying the old rates and did not adjust for the increase that took effect on 07/01/2022

Uniform Allowance

2023 Uniform allowance payments were made on December 15, 2022

If you are currently working and did not receive payment email Scott Spratt at sfsprattsmarttd60@gmail.com

If you recently returned from an extended absence you will need to send a reminder once you have received your first paycheck, payment will be made according to our agreement   

Year-End Cash-in Request Guidelines

With the end of the year coming up I just wanted to remind employees of some of the best practices for filling out the cash-in request timecards. If these guidelines are followed, then it would help us out a lot in getting all of these payments processed as quickly and accurately as possible:

1) Requests should be for only type of PTO (vacation, personal, or sick) cash-in per timecard submitted

2) Timecard comments should state to pay remaining balance of the PTO type for 2022 instead of the specific amount (e.g. “Pay remaining 2022 vacation balance” or “Pay all unused 2022 personal days”)

3) There is no need for anyone to submit a separate timecard for each individual day that is being cashed in (e.g. a 32-hour vacation cash-in should be submitted on one request instead of four separate requests)

4) Since we are now using electronic timecards there should not be a need for anyone to submit duplicate timecards. They can email me or the verification department with the request ID# and we can check the status of the request.

GDE Error: Error retrieving file - if necessary turn off error checking (404:Not Found)

VLC Election LCA-B

Good evening brothers and sister,

 
By now everyone should be aware of the issues regarding the election for this position this past Saturday.  I will briefly discuss the issue.  
 
The post office in Newark, the (Ferry St branch) returned every ballot back to members eligible to vote as undeliverable.  The Tellers were advised by the supervisor of this branch that they returned all the ballots back to the office of Smart-TD Local 60 located on 8 Wilson Ave 3rd fl Newark on Friday 11/18/22.  As of today, we haven’t received any ballots at our address.  As stated above ballots were returned to members in error by this post office.  Prior to Saturday, I received one phone with a ballot stating undeliverable, but today, I received several messages from our members advising me they received their ballot back as undeliverable.  The Post Office stated the P.O. Box had to be in the business name, which is not accurate.  The Secretary of our local has been purchasing the P.O. Box in his name for 20 years without issue.  Neither myself, nor the Local Secretary received any calls from the Post Office advising us they did as much, and they also didn’t have a issue when the Local Secretary purchased the P.O. Box.  
 
With that being said, we have to run the election from scratch.  I will discuss this with the Local Secretary and we will schedule dates for ballot prep, as well as the date of the Special Meeting when the election will be conducted.  We will not use that branch, and I will instruct the Local Secretary to go directly to the Main Post Office located downtown Newark and discuss the error and the process going forward with the Post Master.  We will also attempt to receive some type of remedy for the error on their behalf.
 
 
 
Fraternally,
 
Jerome

Dear Jerome,

 

There are three ways to vote in New Jersey: By Mail, Early In-Person or on Election Day. However you decide, please vote.

  

Vote by Mail: You must request a mail-in ballot in writing through your county clerk on or before November 1st. A ballot will be mailed within a few business days. You can return your completed ballot by:

1) Mailing it (postmarked) on or before 8 p.m. on Election Day; or
2) Placing it in a secure Ballot Drop Box within your home county; or

3) Delivering it in person to your county Board of Election office by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

 

Vote-by-Mail ballots will NOT be accepted at your assigned polling place.
 
Vote Early: Between October 29th and November 6th you can cast a ballot on a machine. Each county will have at least three Early Voting Centers open between 10:00 am and 8:00 pm Monday through Saturday and 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on Sundays.

Vote on Election Day: Visit your assigned polling location and vote on machines or provisional ballots on November 8th between 6:00 am and 8:00 pm.
