Archived New Paygrades

[SFSFun]

I will double check about the pay tomorrow but I know for a fact they lost vacation time bc they went from a specialist to a tm. So they no longer accrue at the same rate. They had a letter read to them from corporate. It was a demotion not a step down

Are you talking about the actual specialists when those positions were eliminated years ago?

That's totally different from these paygrade changes, for the reasons already mentioned. No one is forcibly losing pay or vacation with the new paygrades.

No I'm talking about the pay grades now. This just happened. Maybe they aren't considered specialists. They were the cake decorator and baker

All team members acrue at the same rate assuming they have the same length of service. Has nothing to do with paygrade. Trust me I'm HR, someone gave you crap information

Is the Base pay for a TL And SrTL increasing at the dollar amount as the regular TMs? ie: TM bumps up $3 more, does the base for TL/SRTL also bump up?

Yes. Usually, when a store gets an increase in base pay, it affects all paygrades. If not, then the TM-level PGs' base pay will become equal to or greater than a TL-level PGs' base pay and there will be no incentive to be a TL anymore.

OK so a pt 10/hr a week tm will get the same 3 weeks of vacation as a ft tm?

Oops sorry meant after 10 years

You accrue based on the number of hours you work. The more you work the quicker your vacation grows.

So while a 10 hour and 40 hour tm will grow their bank at the same rate per hour. The 40 hour will have four times more vacation than the 10 hour because their number of hours worked is four times more.

Make sense?

You get a specific amount of vacation hours per hour worked. So a TM working 10 hrs per week will earn less vacation than a TM working 40 hours per week, but they will both accrue it at the same rate per hour as long as they both have the same amount of years of employment.

It's the same for all TMs, regardless of paygrade. TLs have separate rates.

The pay chart is supposed to be confidential.

They will never tell existing team members they are not getting a raise unless confronted. Generally they pull people who are getting a raise in.

Its supposed to be confidential, however it is ILLEGAL for employers to take action against employees for discussing pay amongst themselves. They can claim confidentiality all they want, if they fire people for discussing wages between each other target would be forced to undo said action for violating the NLRA

Does anyone happen to know ETL paygrades? I saw someone on here post a pic a few months back, but I’m just trying to figure out if I got screwed in my offer.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

You are looking at about 50-55K starting wage. You get a yearly annual metric increase in March that is anywhere between 1-4% on average. Your bonus is also about 1-4% of your yearly salary.

Now, that is not where our raises come from at all. I couldn't care less about the yearly review because it is hardly worth mentioning (its just nice it stacks with the other increase we have available). What got added is that a few times a year your STL and DTL can submit you for a pay increase off cycle from your yearly review, and these are worth WAY more than your review. There is no actual limit to the amount of these you can receive and your STL can continue to submit you depending on your performance.

These range from 5-15% increases on average. It depends on your results and your pay in comparison to your peers in general. For example, you might take over ETL-HR at a store as your second position and 6 months in you are killing it. Your STL and DTL can pull your pay compared to the other ETL-HRs in the district and they see that they are all paid much more than you (common since most older ETLs do that role). They submit you for a pay increase since you are performing as well or better than most of them.

This is how you make money at Target though. That 55 can become 65 pretty quickly, and then 6 months later you could go up to 75. Its completely up to you and your performance.

I heard a rumor there was gonna be to another dollar base pay increase soon, but I really doubt it. Anyone else hear anything?

Well it’s gotta get to $15 by 2020

Maybe corporate realizes that too many old timers quit or are disgruntled

Supposed to go to $13 ($12 for new hires) in Fall, $14/13 next May, $15/14 next fall, $15+merit/15 May 2020.

That's the promise. We'll see.

 

[SignmonCowell]

Are they going to pull that bologna where if you're already making the new amount, you don't get you raise?

I don’t believe that. I think after this holiday season everyone will be making the same $. But that’s just my guess.

Of course.

 

[GoodyNN]

Not only that, but they'll once again make sure to do reviews next spring before the increase to $14, so our merit raise will be wiped out again.

 

[can't touch this]

old: 30 cent annual raise
trolled: paying everyone the same regardless of length of service
gold: rent and auto insurance covered 100% by Target

I know this is bringing up a old thread but I do have a paygrade question.

I recently saw on Workday that my paygrade was wrong but all the other titles were correct I am in a modernized specialty area that is paygrade 35 but it shows that I am a 30 via workday. I questioned HR about this and she told me that there was a email sent out by the HRBP that there was a glitch in the system and multiple tms were effected with wrong paygrades. I was told there be nothing to worry about and it would be a easy fix, and since i make over the starting amount of the base there is no pay difference. It’s been 2 weeks and everything is still the same nothing has been fixed. I am a veteran tm I am well over what the starting wage is for the paygrade 35 but before I moved to the paygrade 35 position It was after the changing of paygrades and I was a 30 to start so technically I did promote. Should I email the HRBP and state my concern and even ask for clarification when I did switch workcenters to a paygrade 35 modernized area that I was keyed in as 35 and if not should I ask to get the 50 cents a hour retro pay for the amount of time and months I been in that position. Or should I go to my STL first and state my claim. My somewhat a TL is concerned about as well and there are other tls I statused with and they feel that the glitch story is not all it’s cracked up to be and I should challenge it

If you were over the starting pay for that position when you took it, I thought you do not get the increase. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve only gotten merit raises for the last 7 years. Only position I could take and get an increase would be TL.

Wait for your review.

 

[Yetive]

Regardless of being over minimum, if you were promoted to pg 35, you should have gotten a .50 bump. If you are over minimum when they bump the minimum, you do not get the bump. Make sense? If you Did not get that initial .50 bump at time of promotion, they need to get you retro pay and fix your pg.
