When I left, my ETL-HR and HR TM told me that everything gets paid out. I used up my Sick and PH before I left anyway but I did receive my vacation time. I'm in NJ if that makes a difference.

Yeah, they can't just arbitrarily put a number on NCNS. Target has very specific policies in place. Here's how it works for NCNS: A NCNS falls under unacceptable conduct. It has a progression of Counseling, Final Warning, Termination. First offense: you get a counseling. You have a 1 month...

Update: I accepted another job offer. My last day will be tomorrow, working overnight. My store never offered anything to get me to stay, just said they were sorry to see me go. For what it's worth, I am the lowest paid TL in the building. There are two Sr. TLs making $20-22/hr. Another makes...

This will bite them in the ass so hard. The college grads will take the positions and leave the second they find a position in their preferred field. Turnover will go through the roof. I say this as a Team Lead with an Associate's, no Bachelor's, and making between $11-12/hr. Also, I'm supposed...

It's similar to the solicitation policy, which is none allowed whatsoever. If they allowed a 9/11 sticker, then they'd have to allow other items of personal expression or risk being sued for discrimination.

Printed versions really don't mean anything, since they're easily faked. I would just go in with your phone and show the text messages, since they're time-stamped. The call log will have the times you were called. Also, going in there with printed copies can put the ETL-HR in a defensive state...

I maintain that if you're going to HR, do not talk to the TL first unless that TL brings it up first. Part of the conversation you should have with HR is, "How should I handle this situation?" Apologizing is good, but in this case it's just reinforcing the TL's behavior. There are a couple...

Fact: Target has very strict policies regarding working off-the-clock and condoning working off-the-clock. That being said, we've all talked about work-related things while on breaks or after we've clocked out. Even though the TL texting the TM is a violation of policy, that's not the major...

How do the wage surveys work? Is it an annual thing? Do we ever actually see increases from it?

Definitely not ok. But there's really nothing you can do about it. Your only option is to let someone above you know about it (ETL, STL, or AP). If this is a guest who comes into the store and regularly makes team members feel uncomfortable, AP or LOD can address it. There's nothing wrong with...

1. If you are contacted for any reason other than scheduling, you have to do a punch correction for the duration of the call with a 15-minute minimum. 2. I'm going to echo what stupid rules said. You should talk to your ETL-HR and explain the situation. However, you run the risk of making an...

I'm a Presentation Team Lead in an ULV store. I make under $12/hr. This is not adequate for me, especially given the planning and responsibility that the position requires. Does anyone know if there's a way to get wage reviews/pay increases other than the yearly merit increases, promotions...
