covid-19

Hi, so yesterday I woke up with a sore throat and tested negative. Today it’s worse so I tested and it’s positive, like very positive… so I called HR and they said they only accept a medical facility test and not a home test. I called around and I can’t find a place to test that will give me...

Hello everyone. Does anyone know how long it takes after a Covid LOA ends for my myTime to work. I am unable to see my schedule and it’s been a couple days. I am back to work only because of getting called from my store.I was just wondering how long it has been taking everyone else coming back...

Last December I took the 30 days vulnerable team member paid leave for covid. Is it possible to take a another one ?

We've been through a lot. Covid diagnoses and scares, endless OT, and price gouging on essential products. Target employees will be receiving a $500 bonus. Thoughts?

Most press releases put out say: “Extending benefits to help all of our team members navigate the impact of the coronavirus. This includes waiving our absenteeism policy, offering quarantine pay for 14 days and confirmed illness pay at 100% of their pay for 14 days.” But what exactly Does that...

I saw this on Reddit and was wondering how everyone else feels about it. I’m a pretty flexible advocate so on a usual day I’m being asked to work (or rather told too lol) in 5 different work centers, sometimes not touching the one I’m scheduled for. I know it’s against the law for HR to share...

So my dad tested positive for covid so I called the store and told them, I got tested but I won’t know my result till a few days. But I asked HR, if don’t I still have to quarantine if my dad tested positive and they said no? This doesn’t seem right, isn’t targets policy if someone if your...

Sorry if this a repeat post. I’ve been with Target 25 years. I have a physical disability, Cerebral Palsy. I work under part-time. It’s been recommended I stay out of work until I receive the COVID vaccine. I’m on the covid 30 day leave then a small LOA. I know typically one is only allowed...

My partner was exposed at his workplace last Tuesday, and by Saturday we were already both beginning to feel the effects. We went in for testing on Monday and his came back positive last night. Mine was negative, but the provider told me that it was inconclusive and I needed to test again the...

*TLDR at the bottom.* I know I speak for more than a few of us when I say that COVID has been a nasty bitch, mentally, physically, and everything in between. 2020 has been a year that has caused suffering of varying degrees to countless people. Be it financially from income/job loss, physically...

Any one else’s store picking up trash in the parking lot with the new trash grabbers?

I recently started working at Target after finding myself unemployed due to the pandemic (anyone else?) Anyhow, I just recently found out about the 90 day probation period. (Had to google it—no one explained it to me.) I’m wondering if the waived attendance policy would have any effect on one’s...

Some background: There’s been 2 confirmed cases of covid at my target and I know at least 3 people who have called out due to illness in the past week. I go off to university in august (i planned on taking an LOA until holiday break in august) but at this point i don’t think i feel safe enough...

I'm about to return to my store after 60 days off. I did the vulnerable TM leave and then 30 days unpaid LOA. I have to return now or I won't have job protection anymore (I'm a SE-TL and they said my position will be filled if I don't return now). I'm not very happy and I don't feel comfortable...

I'm currently on the personal/critical illness LOA due to severe respiratory illness and immune supressive medications. Currently target limits personal LOAs to 120 days, which means mine will run out at the end of july. My city hasn't peaked in covid cases, and my drs recommend me to still...

I keep thinking about taking the paid loa. I have asthma and right now is peak season for me. I also have a 2 year old that I’m worried will get sick. I’d have no problem getting the proof I need from my doctor but I’m worried about repercussions. I was wondering if it includes job security...

So we were told they didnt know when we would get gloves or masks and the SD said other stores take priority because we are ULV. They also have us working in close proximity to where its not possible to be 6ft apart (sfs packing). This place has consistent safety issues anyway but they are...

Hey everyone! With the world in a mess and COVID-19 causing panic everywhere; I thought it would be fun to make a Bullseye hazmat t-shirt! If anyone is interested the TeePublic link is here. Any profits generated by the shirt (which I don't expect much) will be donated to a relief charity to...

I just checked with my dr and I dont qualify as high risk, but my dad who I live with is. So i probably don't qualify for the vulnerable LOA, is there another type of leave option I could look into, or do I have to just quit? There's a sizable outbreak in my area and with people ignoring the...

We will close at 9 PM for the time being. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/03/17/target-store-hours-changing-coronavirus/5072460002/
