Happens all the time during 1st qtr. then, the call out factor with no replacements to save hours.

it really depends on your volume. january is a hard month. lots of sick call outs, and payroll drops so its a bare minimum.

I hate Jan and Feb which is why I take a week off in Jan and two 1/2 off in Feb every single year.

 

[Kartman]

Hell, that sounds like part of the problem.

It all depends on your volume. With barebones scheduling, we stay away from too many people scheduled before 11am. There really isn't much guest traffic at that time so we do depend on the support teams a bit more. Sales floor team members are scheduled 4 hour shifts. If they call out its easier to absorb 4 hours than 8. The ETLS have committed to working pulls for 1 full hour after their ETL meeting. Its not great but it works.
