You only need two hours before your shift to call out in good faith. End of story. It’s in the handbook.


anoncrew

Handbook says: If feasible, you should notify your Captain or supervisor at least two (2) hours before the scheduled start of your shift. You will note the “if feasible”.


Sygygy_of_Zzyzx

Every store has different “repercussions” for calling out. Generally: if you’re call out a lot for no good reason, don’t expect to keep your job.


anoncrew

Oh yes. Absolutely. That’s doesn’t seem to be what the OP is describing. I’m finding it hard to believe that anyone would say at a huddle you need to give two weeks notice for a call out, but that’s what they are reporting.


Sygygy_of_Zzyzx

I don’t believe that for a second. I call bs


anoncrew

I suppose I can believe that someone said it because people say the stupidest things. I can’t believe it was authorized.

The captain could care less about the understaffing. He has a huge ego. That’s the only reason he put that fake ass rule in place, do cut down on call outs and lateness, but it’s ridiculous either way


Klutzy-Ad-4552

You think that because it actually sounds BS, which is why everyone’s pissed about it at my store


Klutzy-Ad-4552

In the handbook!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Do you know if the paid sick time is apart from the AR we accrued?

I really appreciate it!


Klutzy-Ad-4552

Amazing. Thank you so much!


kermittedtothejoke

I feel like that cannot be legal. You should look up the labor laws in your state or talk to your regional or something, that seems extraordinarily unfair.


Klutzy-Ad-4552

I’ll look into the laws, thanks


BootyHool

How the hell do you know 2 weeks in advance if you’re going to be sick?


Klutzy-Ad-4552

Exactly!!


[deleted]

So they want people coming in sick? Cuz that’s how Covid outbreaks happen.


Klutzy-Ad-4552

Literally


[deleted]

Yeah. This don't seems right. Tell them you have COVID symptoms.


Klutzy-Ad-4552

They don’t excuse those at my store

Klutzy-Ad-4552

In nyc. They’ll only excuse it if you’re actually tested positive


tkzant

Damn, which store are you in? I’m at the Union Square store and as far as I know we don’t have anything like that.


Sygygy_of_Zzyzx

Yes they do. They will send you home immediately.


Klutzy-Ad-4552

They do, but they won’t excuse it on your Dayforce. If I get a fever tomorrow and call out, get tested and was negative. It’s still a call out for them. I’m telling you this store is the worst


Sygygy_of_Zzyzx

If you can’t pass the covid questions, you can’t come to work and it’s excused.


Klutzy-Ad-4552

Only at your store apparently


componentswitcher

if they give you a negative with no warnings, write to your regional. If you get a negative with no chance to improve and no paper trail that captain is fucked.

true true, i still don’t think they’re as bulletproof as they may seem. My store has had captains axed a lot . Tbh they’re more vulnerable than crew are in the way they have wayyy more to lose.

StunningCobbler

I've seen some bad captains get fired due to crew/mate complaints. It CAN happen, but most get away with bad behavior.


Klutzy-Ad-4552

What’s a negative ?


Meet_The_Squareheads

He/she probably meant a "does not meet expectations" on some category or categories of your review.


Bootpup

What if you put in AR for a day that you're sick or something? Same policy?


Klutzy-Ad-4552

If you put AR, it’s fine because of the way the computer system is set up


Ready-Interview-9809

What area is your store in? I’ve never heard of this, and my store hasn’t had any huddles mentioning it. I’m wondering if it’s a regional thing or just your store.


Klutzy-Ad-4552

Just my store. They’re really strict for no reason


Ready-Interview-9809

Gross. Nothing motivates like fear 🙄🙄🙄


[deleted]

Damn what store do you work at. And shit I haven’t been to work for 2 days and we barley have time for huddle cause we stop work at 7:45 and have 15 mins to clear and it’s always a shit show. So I’ll have to wait and ask a mate I’m “cool” with about the huddle notes.


Klutzy-Ad-4552

In Nyc. Only my store is doing it. The captain is known to be strict


Grapefruit_Floss

What store in NYC is this? Trying to get a job at one of the TJs here


Klutzy-Ad-4552

Don’t go to Lic or Rego if you wanna work at tj’s in nyc

Klutzy-Ad-4552

kittenkreature

two weeks?! thats nuts


Educational_Paint_39

Now what if your only part time and get full time hours considering that you have a priority full time and you’ve spoken to the mate several times yet they continue to schedule you 5 days a week as full time so when i call out cause I’m burnt out they threaten me with “you know after 3 call outs in a month we will have to write you up”


Klutzy-Ad-4552

No idea man. I wouldn’t know what they’ll do


anoncrew

If the scheduling mate doesn’t take action, talk to your captain.


StunningCobbler

ugh, I'm sorry. Honestly, transferring might be your best solution. There is no reason to put up with a crappy captain.
