About UPS & Our Culture

The UPS workforce is one of the largest in American private employment — and the HR Coordinators who support it are the administrative and compliance backbone that keeps 500,000 employees properly onboarded, documented, benefits-enrolled, and supported through the employment lifecycle. Our HR coordinator jobs at UPS sit at the intersection of large-scale workforce administration, union contract compliance, and individual associate support — a combination that builds the kind of cross-functional HR expertise that no single-company-type employer can replicate. If you are searching for HR coordinator jobs near me that develop genuine labor relations skills alongside standard HRIS administration, the UPS HR environment is the most professionally credentialing setting available in the logistics industry for early-career HR professionals.

What Our Team Says (Employee Reviews)

"HR at UPS is genuinely complex in a way that makes you better at everything else in your career. I manage onboarding for 40 to 80 new hires per peak season hiring cycle, I support supervisors through Teamsters grievance documentation, I process FMLA paperwork under both federal law and the national master agreement's leave provisions, and I coordinate benefits enrollment across four different Teamsters Health & Welfare Fund plan options. The HR Coordinator skill set I have built at UPS is more advanced than most HR generalist roles I see at companies three times our size." - Current HR Coordinator, New Orleans, LA.

Role Overview & Responsibilities

As a UPS HR Coordinator, you manage the full employment lifecycle administration for hourly and part-time associates at an assigned package center or hub — covering new hire onboarding, benefits enrollment, attendance documentation, FMLA administration, and Teamsters contract compliance support for the facility's operations management team.

• New Hire Onboarding Administration: Process new hire paperwork packages — I-9 verification using E-Verify, direct deposit enrollment in the UPS PeopleSoft HRIS, Teamsters union membership application routing, and UPS safety policy acknowledgment documentation — for every new associate within their first 72 hours of employment, meeting the facility's onboarding completion SLA that triggers payroll system activation for their first weekly paycheck.
• FMLA & Leave Coordination: Administer FMLA leave requests under both the federal Family and Medical Leave Act and the applicable Teamsters national master agreement leave provisions — issuing designation notices within five business days of leave request, coordinating with the Teamsters Health & Welfare Fund for short-term disability benefit activation, and tracking leave expiration dates to ensure compliant return-to-work coordination with the operations management team.
• Grievance Documentation Support: Support the district labor relations manager in documenting and responding to Teamsters grievances at Steps 1 and 2 of the local grievance procedure — gathering supervisor witness statements, pulling relevant timekeeping records from the UPS KRONOS system, and preparing the written grievance response package within the contractual response timeline to prevent automatic Step 3 escalation.

Benefits & Perks

UPS HR Coordinators receive a competitive salary, full medical, dental, and vision benefits, a 401(k) with company match, paid vacation and holidays, and access to UPS's tuition reimbursement program for continued HR education — including SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP certification study support. The breadth of HR functions managed at UPS creates a career acceleration pathway that early-career HR professionals at smaller employers simply cannot access.
