Archived "Experience Pay?"

[ISign]

So I just started back at target, I'd previously worked at a store from 09 to 11.. and I just stated back on the 1st same position (signing) but a different store / district. During the interview process I asked about pay as my old store started cashiers at 10.00 so signing was 11.25.. this store is 2$ less.. So hoping to get as much as possible I asked is there any way I'd get near my previous pay and the hr told me there is something calling experience pay.. that can be up to a dollar but requires hr bp approval.. has anyone heard of this before? I had to accept their starting rate because I literally started the day after my interview.. but I was told if approved I'd get back pay..

I know there are a couple hr members gets.. Anne..?

Experience pay can be approved up to a certain amount by your HR ETL based upon their review of your past experience, and anything above must be passed by the HR-BP for approval.

You already accepted the offer, you wont get it. Target won't pay anymore than it has to. They're telling you that HRBP has to approve it but honestly, since you're already in there's no need to pay you more. Sorry. I hate them too.

when i started back in 03 you were hired based on experience and they paid you accordingly

Experience pay is usually only available for TLs and higher. TM experience pay is very rare. I have been in HR for 3 years and have never had experience pay for a team member approved other than an HR TM for a store that had 3 others turn down the position based on pay.

It used to be the norm, but not anymore.
