I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but I had a question for anyone who has experience with my time.
How does mytime impact Presentation/Pricing scheduling? Can I still schedule like I did in MAX? Does mytime decrease or increase POG hours ?(or was there a noticeable difference between mytime and max?)

A majority of workcenters kept their normal hour allocation formulas. Presentation is still based on the adjacency calendar (I believe it just removes the SP's from the hours and divides them into HL/SL still)... Pricing still uses its same projection as well.

The nice thing about these workcenters is that they are rigid. This means when the STL or ETL-HR keys hours in training (these have to come from somewhere) they get pulled from cashier, hardlines, softlines, and market as they are the flexible ones. When before they could just remove 5 hours from all workcenters to get the store to payroll, now many of them retain their hours... Hence why many stores on MyTime end up on the lanes all day.

Is InStocks rigid or flexible? I always thought they borrowed IS hours from my store and put them elsewhere.
 
I work in the pharmacy and we just rolled out with mytime. It is common in my district to pick up hours at other stores. But does anyone know how to charge out hours in mytime so that payroll doesn't get messed up? It was easy to do in MAX but with mytime everyone is at a loss.

Talk to your stl or etl pharmacy.
 
I know I sound like a cry baby and have asked this probably a million times but I just want an honest answer from a human being on this planet: I would normally get 37 hours a week last year and this year I've been scheduled per week anywhere from 30 to 34. I just want to know why. If it's because Target is cheap and doing whatever it takes to be number 1 then fine, I get it. It's cutthroat. Just be honest. Don't lie and just say "payroll is tight this month". Why is it tight? And don't say "because we didn't make sales". I want to know the bigger picture. I want to know why I make less money because silly people don't buy crap at Target. Target is a billion dollar company so money is infinite in my opinion.
When I hear people talk about hours and money problems at Target, I just laugh and smirk. Sorry for the rant but like I said, Target is a billion dollar company so to me money is infinite in TargetLand.
 
Those silly people pay your paycheck. How are sales doing in your store? Ours have been up and our hours reflect it.
 
Like I said, when I hear people say "money is tight or hours are tight" at Target, I just want to have Picard and Riker do the double face palm.

I don't know the exact numbers but from what I've heard, sales have been bad. Having bad sales in the warm months is not a good sign. Summer is almost here and you expect it to pick up with the little ones being out of school.
 
Man, yesterday was nuts at my store. Why the F would the system give us one person at GS, a GSTL and a GSA (who were busy doing other stuff most of the time) and only two cashiers on a Sunday afternoon in June? I think we called for back up at least once every half hour! At least our registers didn't crash. And guess what? Red Cards were in the toilet yesterday because NO ONE wants to sign up for a credit card after they've been waiting in line forever.
 
Stop thinking globally. Your store is your store. Your STl cannot run in the negative without permission, so if you are missing sales - then you aren't going to have the payroll to spend. He gets his by sticking to what he is given.

I went from 24 to 8-12 it seems.
 
We always know our exact numbers...you can get them from an LOD. We are rung a huge comp right now at my store, and have been for several months...so hours have only been really tight like one week. NSN is right...each store is responsible for being sure its hours match its payroll. Your store doesn't get to take my store's payroll if you can't make sales.
 
The reason is because payroll is the one expense that entities feel they can control. In their minds they can't control what comes in and they can't control the cost of goods, transportation, energy etc. However they know they can always control the cost of labor. It's the easiest way to increase profits because it involves no work and no coming up with creative ways to trim the needless spending that goes on in Minneapolis.

I'm actually posting this for my ETL-Pharmacy. My STL and HR don't have any idea how it is done either. The district just went live this week and it has been the blind leading the blind.
 
You can schedule people for transfer shifts if the shift is in a different workcenter or a different store. I could schedule people to work at stores across the country if I wanted too. At least I could the first two weeks of the rollout. I haven't checked since then.
 
I wish someone at my store would just be honest with me as well. Though I pretty much figured it out over the last few weeks. Instead of giving me the canned bulls*it runaround when I ask about my hours being so bad, it would be nice if someone would just be honest and say... sorry , with your availability (that we knew when we hired you) you'll be lucky to get 15 hours a week. Instead of "we're trying to get you some hours" The last two times they've told me that, my hours have dropped. On a good note.. I have a job interview on Wednesday. It will be WONDERFUL if I can walk in to spot on my shift after my interview and say.. See ya!!! I hate not giving notice, but at this rate.. if an interview turns into a hire, and they ask if I can start immediately, I can't afford to stick out the next two weeks.
 
True that. For me, I would respect an ETL a million times more if he or she was just like "we get bonuses by cutting payroll and preventing overtime and we are trying to reduce the amount of employees on Target insurance plans" rather than the scripted answer of "payroll is tight this month".
 
Can I just sign a waiver that says I won't get insurance if they stop hiring and give me 40 hours?!
