In some states (like CA), team members get penalty pay if they don't take their meal break on time. Good for the team member, bad for Target. Therefore, Target has a hardline stance on meal compliance. In fact, in California, there is a stand alone counseling/final warning just for meal...

It is likely not Target making the decision to not send pennies anymore, but something happening with the bank/carrier. I have family members who work in grocery stores near me and they aren't getting any pennies delivered either. It isn't coming from the company, but the financial institutions.

If you get caught (and you likely will) you will get fired. They can easily track transactions and are always watching for discount fraud.

If it is the same form I've seen, there's a big empty box where your doctor can write in any non-physical restrictions. Stores have a centralized accommodation team now, so you'll need to submit a request for accommodations through Workday. Your HR-ETL will be able to help with that.

They used to do the catalogue years ago and it was all crap no one wanted. I'd much rather have money that I can use on what I want, personally.

20 years service award is $100. 25 is $200, 30/35/40/etc is $300. That said, they are added to paychecks normally and are taxed at the supplemental rate so it ends up being a lot less you end up seeing. Nice to have the recognition however. A lot of companies don't do anything.

Are you near a distribution center? They pay more than stores and hours are consistent.

No way for us to know for sure. I've seen people who were "not rehireable" that have been rehired, and people who were AMAZING not get rehired. ASANTS

Just because you have mental health issues (or any disability) doesn't mean you can't get fired. You still have to do the job to the standards set by the company. If you need something (an accommodation) to be able to do that, you have a responsibility to advise your ETL-HR. For example, if...

Almost certainly your leadership will say they need to see you prove yourself in your current role before supporting you for promotion. That usually means 12-18 months in role, but ASANTS.

You will start gaining hours back in December then!

When did you take your time last year? This is kind of hard to explain. FMLA runs on a rolling 12 month calendar. So based on that, you probably have the 36 hours available as of now. That said, as 12 months passes from each day of use, you will gain that time back. So if your doctor put...

Target does not allow LOAs for other employment, including paid/unpaid internships unfortunately.

Exactly. The justification is that as a leader you need to be able to connect with everyone in the department/store, including those who work nights.

Just a warning about going the doctor's note route: You still have to be able to do the "essential functions" of the job under the ADA law, even with a doctor's note. If Target deems working one night a week an essential function, you could be literally providing documentation that you aren't...
