Picking up a shift through MyTime

[Lmcunic1202]

Hi, so I picked up a shift using MyTime. It says Checkout Advocate. Usually I’m in soft lines but I thought of how my schedule always says general merchandise which doesn’t only includes soft lines. Does checkout advocate solely mean cashier? Or could a person at guest services have put up that shift? Idk if I make sense but I guess I’m asking if checkout advocate on MyTime applies to more than one role like the way general merchandise does.

cashier

guest services would be service advocate

At my store it doesn’t matter whether you a scheduled guest service or check lanes it depends on the business needs of the day plus whether or not ur good at guest service vs better at check lanes

sure but if you're a style team member picking up a shift that says checkout advocate you are going to be a cashier. it's obviously different for front end team members who should be crosstrained across the workcenter

Okay thank you. I wanted the cashier shift since I already knew how to do it but was worried if It could have been a guest service shift because I never trained there.

At my store, it could be anything at the front, so cashier, service desk, OPU/DU, cleaning or carts.

Softlines and General Merchandise are separate work centers. Weird that your schedule would say GM if you are in Style.

I'm trying to educate my team members about myTime, but to be honest I haven't a clue what qualifies someone to see available shifts. I've had a few team members post shifts for the coming weeks, but neither I nor a few other team members can see those shifts they posted. We are all in the same workcenter.

Does anybody know if myTime prevents you from seeing a shift if you are already scheduled that day? Or if taking the shift would put you above 40 hours for that week?

I have no ETL, no HR TM, and no ETL-HR right now, so there's really nobody in my building who has these answers.

If there’s a conflict in the times, yes, and yes to the second one

IMO I wish it would still show the shift but have the option to take it greyed out with "You cannot take this shift for x reason"

I agree that would be nice. And then an option to request to take it with leader approval
