Weekly Action Update things to know

Weekly Action Update things that pertain to all of us

Hey y’all,

A couple big things are coming up in the next few weeks you should know about! This info is brand new so your leaders may not have answers to questions just yet. This week’s Action Update has two things that will shake things up for us (both imo in a positive way).

1. New Sick Pay program for all hourly employees. TMs will accrue 1 hour of sick time for every 52 hours worked (i.e. 40 hours accrued over the course of one year if working full time)

2. July 12 TM Handbook is updated and includes…….the addition of SHORTS being in dress code for ALL TMs!

Neither of these has taken effect yet, but these changes are coming!

OMG YES please shorts. Finally a chance to show off my blindingly white old man calves. No but really it can be hot in here in the stock room in Louisiana.

 

[MrT]

Guess it's cheaper then putting the ac on to keep the store cool. Sick Time in my state is already much better then the new policy but atleast they are doing it for tms that don't have that luxury.

Some of my team members were discussing shorts today. Apparently the word is already out. I am on drive up so, I already wear shorts but, is great for when ask for drive up help.

I'm not at work until Monday so maybe one of you know: will be the new shorts policy explicitly state the length of the shorts? It'd be in pretty bad taste to allow shorts and not specify- booty shorts should be a hard NO.

 

[redeye58]

Shorts are most welcome down here in TX, where we *hope* to cool down to 99 next week.

 

[Spotonman]

Shorts?! Say what?!

 

[Dysprosed]

STFU!!!! YOU JUST MADE MY FREAKIN' DAY!!!!
For years and years I have been commenting in the Best Team Survey that the one thing that would make Target a better place to work would be being allowed to wear shorts. I know it sounds dumb, but I get so damn hot and it ruins my mood.

I'm going to wear shorts tomorrow just to see if I get away with it.

In DCs the shorts rule is mid-thigh or longer, this doesn't seem to be enforced, but we aren't customer facing employees either.

 

[Dream Baby]

Is this sick time going to be under the My Time Self Service?

Shorts are something Target changed that costs them nothing like when we didn't have to wear khaki pants anymore.

Booty shorts should be a hard no. However 2 female drive up tms wear them, short and tight. Apparently no one cares in my store. BUT I bet with new policy that may change.

The new shorts policy doesn’t start till mid July.

Aww, c'mon annual heat stroke is good for us old folks. Does wonders for my diabeetus...

I mean, maybe, but what difference does it make? I wore shorts today. ETL -HR was 100% cool with it, same with my ETL. So I'm rollin' with it.
I was cool. I felt free and nimble. I was happy as can be. The store was in terrible shape, but my mood was golden!

 

[MrT]

Also to mention about the sick time it according to the pay and benefits page you need to average 19.5 hrs in order to qualify

It's intensely warm and stuffy in our store. Several tms wore shorts today. The store smelled slightly better and the floors were less slippery from sweat beads . Everyone is happy.

Anyone know if there are length or color requirements for the shorts? I haven't seen anything that says that yet.

No. You will have to go through HR for that.

I wear khaki and denim shorts. Not sure on length, I’m 53 so I normally wear a longer short.

 

[Captain Orca]

Very professional look. Nice touch.

We have been told to follow the same color requirements as those for pants/skirts/etc. and that the length should be no shorter than mid thigh (which was a relief to those tms with long arms since originally it was "fingertip length")

Lol, well that's good to know as I have ridiculously long arms for my average height. 😆

 

[Dream Baby]

No. You will have to go through HR for that.

So basically no electronic trail?

 

[MrT]

You will see how many hours you have and accrued on your paycheck and on mytime self service like vacation time but in order to use it you need to fill out the paperwork and have it put in through hr

Go through your HRE if you trust them.
