Any chance to have the max quantity increased? Certain items particularly in produce are tedious because they do not have barcodes to fast scan and if you have to defect a large quantity of bananas or poinsettias for instance, doing them in batches of 19 isn't efficient when you have to...

The bereavement hours will be regular pay and do not count toward hours worked. Hours worked are still treated normally, so if you worked into OT then you will receive OT plus your bereavement.

Why do some items still pull based on Fill Group? For example, stick lighters used to be CNDY fill group, and only pull in the dry grocery OFO despite being located outside of grocery on the floor and in the backroom.

Did she transfer from a DC? My first store had a flow TM who kept her pay after transferring from the DC and it was substantially higher than the store rate.

Sick time isn't available to use on eHR. You'll have to submit a paper form for time off, but it's easy to get from HR or a leader. My location is very strict that you must have specifically called out sick to use sick time, but I hear others may be more willing to accept it. Check with HR to...

Those are different scenarios, though. The STL should be communicating with all LODs so they understand how to lookup sales and payroll as well as priorities for replacing call outs. That is not the same as a SrTL delegating a task to an ETL during an LOD shift, which is totally acceptable. My...

SrTL in a high COL area. Typically pocket about 1300 after taxes, insurance, and 401k.

I think it might be easier if you group them into similar roles and have a main group that you'd like to be in. If you know what areas you'd like to do, your store can help you narrow it down and pick the specific positions they have available. Front End: Food Service, Guest Service Sales...

While I agree that the backrooms have typically been too full, it makes way more sense to utilize the space we have. It is significantly faster to replenish from the backroom than from the DC. Our backroom has lightened up significantly recently since my team started heavily using the manual...

Sick pay isn't available in self-service. We have to fill out a paper form for HR to input. (and at my store they are strict about it only covering absences) That said, the point stands with regards to unused vacation/personal holiday. You can go back up to 6 weeks and use as much as possible.

When I promoted from TM to SrTL I stayed in the same store. The process was simple, I just applied for the position and went through interviews. Once I passed, they offered me the position in my store.

Many products will also tell you in the top right corner of the shelf label.

Yeah, but that would never happen. Target wants guests interacting with the app and becoming aware of products we sell. If a guest has it all tied through cartwheel they will open the on every trip and be exposed to the current deals.

My favorite thing was the notices they hung all over the HR area talking about how the new vacation bucket was great. Selling points included no longer being paid out when you leave the company and not being able to accumulate as much before is stopped accruing.

No good answer for you. A google search turned up a statistic(I'm not sure how valid this is) that 64% of companies require the age of 21. So it's pretty common for companies to limit them in this way. If I had to guess it would be related to administrative costs, low participation, and choosing...
