Archived New Paygrades

[HRZone]

So I got confirmed word there will be four paygrades.

30 - Entry Level

35 - Speciality

40 - Team Lead

45 - Senior Team Lead and similar positions

They will also be changing how experience pay works for pg40 and pg45. I hear there will be a wider range of experience pay although Target will offset that by lowering the minimum experience pay they can offer.

Flow will be dropping to the minimum level. While AA and Beauty will become a speciality position rather than an entry level position.

I'll post more as I get more info

The official directive is that non speciality members will not be able to pick up speciality shifts anymore. So while an AA team member can pick up a cashier shift. They don't want cashier's picking up beauty and electronics shifts.

I think it's good that AA and Beauty are becoming specialty (with the focus on experts and selling), but I think they should bring electronics back to specialty with all of the focus they are putting on product knowledge and selling.

Interesting that they're dropping flow but makes sense as flow teams are seeming to shrink and be phased out. Ty for the info!

90 percent sure electronics is also a speciality thanks for mentioning it.

It sounds like n07 team members may be getting a slight raise (So like hr, GSA, etc)

My DTL said instocks will officially be gone outside of RFID in the near future

 

[PogDog]

What qualifies a specialty?

 

[SFSFun]

Please let me know when you find out where SFS lies and when this takes effect.

TBA. So far I only know beauty, cosmetics and electronics.

 

[paokinawa]

I wonder where price change will fall?

 

[BigEyedPhish]

Is Signing TM "Speciality"? I can't see how it wouldn't be as I am legit the only one in the store and have a hand in every department.

Aren't I quoting a Target Executive when I say "Instocks, Instocks, Instocks"? I think that was legit last years STL meeting,

Lmao

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Specialists are back...for a few years...then gone again..

 

[Corrin]

Also wondering if Food Ave/Sbux counts as specialty or base.

Going to freak out lol if receiving gets bumped down to "entry." I'm sure it'll be specialty but you know what they say about assuming...

They had BETTER be specialty or the next time we have a call-out I'll be asking the LOD who they're pulling from the floor/lanes to cover since we're not considered 'specialty'.
Do they really want cafe food prepared by TMs without food safety training?

Receiving is actually being eliminated as part of the E2E process. All TMs will be required to know how to check in vendors and must process and sort their own defectives. The door bell will be replaced with a call box to ensure our vendors receive prompt service from the nearest TM.

I’m pretty sure all the vendors that come to my house have our phone number in speed dial; if receiver or back room isn’t nearby, they’d probably leave. I usually walkie the closest TM to grab it if I can’t get it.

I've seen the questionable things done by my backup when I'm on vacation and I trained him. I'd hate to see what happens when a new hire is trained by a slightly less new hire on how to handle hundreds of dollars of merch coming through the door.

Not going to lie I'd love to have an Endyme instead of a doorbell.

 

[Sanzano]

So any idea on how they will differentiate a PG13 TL from a PG15 TL? Just add experience pay maybe?

GSTM should be in the mix.

When I was the Receiving Specialist or TM as its now called, the defective process was listed in Best Practice for a number of years that the Flow team was actually responsible for processing defectives and then sorting it to the appropriate place but have yet to see it being implemented in the stores I've been in and I tried to call it out during my time but my TL was a hard ass that it was just better to do it myself. I'm out of that area now and in a different store. Our poor Receiving guy has to work freight on the floor plus clean up his area and he hardly ever gets to defectives, its usually scattered throughout Receiving. I think stores that have been Receivers now might have it grandfathered in but will likely be phased out as our Receiver still works over there but he doesn't work all his 40 hours over there. My question on that process is who would be responsible for sweep, donations, CRC, and making sure ESIM is being implemented properly?

Don't you mean GSA? I doubt GSTM would be considered specialty now if it wasn't before.

 

[SurefireWolf]

SFS captain had better be a specialist position. Unless Target wants a brand new employee to order supplies, troubleshoot broken equipment, be the go-to person when anything goes wrong, train new TMs, (and ETLs from other stores), draw brackets on what time TMs should work during Christmas, switch out pallets with the forklift, organize the supplies in the area, etc...

 

[Frontlanegirl]

Both. Who do you think backs up the GSA/GSTL positions? Who do you think runs the SD, usually alone, and has to multi-task many different jobs up front? Who do you think is often the person to solve a guest problem?

Pleaese tell me this is a joke. Absolutely no one in my store has a clue about receiving process

We can barely get the teams in each area to do their own signing as technically that is E2E too.

or bacstock or push or zone or cull, or locate product while "bacstocking" or do anything other than tell any one with ears how overworked they are. meanwhile Saturday's pallets aren't finished and it is Tuesday. and the topper we have ~1,000 boxes of macaroni & cheese sitting in the backroom. how is that even possible? those are just the ones located who knows the real count.
