Starbucks needs a TL because of all the training involved especially since Starbucks is constantly rolling out new processes and obviously to be able to speak to the business with the Starbucks DM. If it runs on its own that's because the TL is doing a great job training the team. My store is a VO1 Starbucks and I'm waiting to see if they combine us :/
But they'll save ~$28k per year in payroll by getting rid of a TL...
The ironic thing is that a TL who is forced to demote will likely keep their same pay or at least not get the full cut to their base pay. They won't even be saving that much, unless the TL leaves Target completely.
But if they are reduce TL Head count and "forcing" a demotion. Why would they also be forced to transfer to a new store? That would definitely be the case if a TL demoted on their own or wanted to transfer.
plano and electronics are a higher pay grade then hl tm. Plano is a pg 7.
If the choice comes to keep tl and transfer or demote, you'd be surprised how far people will drive...
Right, which is why it kind of stinks. I didn't mind when I got those shifts mixed in with my majority hardlines shifts, but getting a month of N07 shifts at N03 pay feels a bit like I'm being taken advantage of.
You are. Talk to HR.
Not understanding your answer. Instocks pay is #5 and backroom is #7. We don't get backroom pay anymore than the hardlines tms get instocks pay for scanning. It is the same issue.... and shady. Getting your higher rate pay when doing a lower rate job is a decision that management has made and the tm is not being required to work above their paygrade. Working at a higher paygrade job without the higher pay is also a management decision and is not fair to the tm.
We are below 60 hours now. More than half of the hours have to be at the higher paygrade job to make that change. You know how that works out.
Maybe you could ask that you be transferred to one of those as your main workcenters instead, to make it sound less like it's about the money? It still runs the risk of you falling out of favor but if they're already scheduling you there that much, maybe they need new TMs in those departments. Plus I highly doubt they'll give you the pay bump (as unfair as that is) without being keyed into a higher paying workcenter, and if you choose the one you've been scheduled in more than 50% of your shifts, you should be able to bring up the issue of backpay (though I'd wait until after you're officially moved over to bring that up!)
I believe @Doglover89 went through that exact situation. Or at least someone posted about it. They were scheduled as SFS while getting paid as softlines for a while, and as soon as they mentioned paygrades, HR started scheduling them in softlines and only softlines.
Yeah, ask about back owed pay for a job and suddenly you didn't officially get the job until they started paying you correctly...
