I think the service reward amounts were created in the 1980s and haven't been changed in a long time. Still, they are deeply appreciated.

Most of us who have worked at Target have been "spooked" by irregular scheduling things on mytime. We become a bit paranoid when we see actions which sometimes are part of a possible job termination. Holiday season can create a lot of odd kinds of stress in this business.

You have valid concerns. Keep in mind that your eligibility for Target's health plan is based on your previous year's 52-week average weekly hours worked. Every year at the time of open enrollment (February), your eligibility is based on your previous year's figure as of the final paycheck of...

That's the correct amounts. When I received mine, they "grossed up" the amount to cover taxes so your net was the bonus face value.

Where exactly are new hires receiving a $2,000 sign-on bonus?

I wonder if the huge amount of money the company spent on their Target Together shindig the other day in Minneapolis could have been allocated to more payroll hours in stores.

Possibly it's worth talking to folks at another Target in your area. While I caution about the "greener pastures" syndrome, perhaps a different Target store with a different SD and ETLs would value your skill and talents more than the store you are currently working at.

Mandatory OT isn't a thing for grade 35 store TMs, though at times it may be for grade 45 store TLs. For ETLs, of course, there's no such thing as OT as they are classified as exempt employees. I can see why it's extremely irritating to have last-minute schedule changes. Your life includes...

Correct. If you want cost-of-living adjustments, you need to get a public sector civil service job. Sometimes if you are in a private-sector union job, cost-of-living increases are negotiated into the contract. Since Target isn't unionized - and never ever will be - and it's not public...

The inability to include a middle name or a suffix is really stupid. For many people with common names, this is a real PIA. Think of John Smith, Mary Jones, Jim Jones, Sue Brown. Are the people who run Workday truly that stupid that they cannot accommodate full legal names, or is this in fact...

Target as a company will not ever, ever allow this to happen, but this is the kind of thing where collective bargaining would bring better compensation. Public sector employees including teachers have benefited enormously from collective bargaining, as have those in private sector industries...

It's pretty good.

No seasonal premium pay at our store.

Revisiting this, it is strange that most TMs only get paid for two holidays per year. Period. "Premium Pay" is not a "paid holiday".

What gets really confusing is the difference between "Holiday Pay" (in non-retail jobs, a literal paid day off from work) and "Holiday Premium Pay", an incentive pay issued to retail workers who work on a recognized holiday. I do not know if Memorial Day is a "recognized" holiday at Target, I...

To be honest, at this point I literally am praying for strength and success in finding a different job and employer. Fortunately, I don't think all that much about working at Target after hours. When I do worry about it, it's because in reality my paycheck isn't adequate. My spouse and I can...

Mods, can this be added to a Sticky Topic combining the 401k questions?

Mods, this should be a sticky topic. The same questions are asked over and over again, having it as a sticky will be more helpful for those with the same common questions. Side note: Friends Don't Let Friends Borrow Against Their 401k - The Laws of Unintended Consequences

But that's the problem: there's plenty of high-school and college students willing to work at Target for the current base wage ($17.75 hour in our area). Bumping the base raise is a nasty kick in the ass to existing TMs who know how to perform their jobs, know the things to be careful about...

So basically, nobody here actually earned a "raise" in pay. Inflation has been upwards of 7% from a year prior. Target's prices have increased at least that much, though I think Target is trying to avoid hiking prices as they want to grab market share from competitors during an uncertain...
