FedEx- standby period added.
I had a trip earlier this week with two outbound legs. The first leg was canceled and a standby period added in its place. I turned in the request for disruption pay and it was denied. I have a buddy who had a similar thing happened to him last week. His disruption pay request was approved. I called contract enforcement and they said that the disruption pay only counts if the standby is built into time that should have been off. Since the standby only cover the first leg they said that the disruption pay it did not count in this instance. Is this correct? Did the company make a mistake by approving my buddies request?
