HR Changing schedule without me knowing

[RandomTeamMember]

UPDATE: HR got fired. I’m guessing for this problem and a few other issues she was terminated.

Hello. A few people at my target have been having issues with HR changing their schedule days before from what it originally was and then ended up missing work because they didn’t know they worked. My one friend was originally scheduled for 7:30 am one day and then found out when he got there they changed it for the next day. My brother completely missed a day of work because they changed his schedule a few days prior and did not notify him. Can someone from HR tell me the rules regarding this? What the latest HR can change your schedule before you work? It’s seriously become an issue and not sure what to do at this point.

I'm not HR but my TL told me the paper schedule on the wall is the official one. That's what you go by.

Don’t use Kronos.

Go by the paper schedule that is posted. Take a picture if you need to.

Take a picture of the wall schedule when it's posted. They have to inform you if any of that changes.

Kronos pulls the schedule for a given week on a lag (I tell my team it's once per day but I don't know, better they just don't trust it) and that schedule is NOT firm until the wall schedule is posted, and the wall schedule overrides Kronos unless you have spoken to your leader directly.

As a one day a week person this is ridiculous, honestly. My only way of knowing is Kronos.

Thankfully Kronos usually changes within the day, but thats also a problem when I already had plans and suddenly I have more days. Even worse if Kronos isn't working (like today)

What about looking on target.com/myschedule? I check that everyday which is probably overkill, but I assume it is more up-to-date than Kronos usually is.

Most of us take pictures of the wall schedule when it is posted. It has changed often - and more than a few times the tm didn’t know. Has saved many butts when the schedule is changed and the tm is made accountable for the late/ncns for the shift they didn’t know about.

All of the online ways to look at your schedule have the potential to pull from mytime before your store finalizss the schedule. Always use the wall schedule.

For DC members we've been taking screenshots of mytime because they either don't update it or even if they do, it's still never as accurate as the old call in line was because the call in line HAD NO LAG IN UPDATING. Sorry. Had to emphasize the obvious.

Right but if some people are only scheduled 1 or 2 days a week, you're not there to actually check it everyday for any potential changes.

That’s a culture issue, that is not how it is at every store. At my store we would never change a schedule without talking to affected TMs first. I can acknowledge that not all stores do this. They were too busy seeing if they could and didn’t spend nearly enough time asking themselves if they should.

Golden rule applies here. Don’t fuck around with someone’s schedule if you don’t want yours fucked with.

There's a big sign next to our schedule that says DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS OF THE SCHEDULE

Right exactly!

uhhhhhh why? So you can’t hold them accountable for their mistakes?

I think it is a privacy issue about other tm schedules being on your phone.

We use the buddy system for this reason. One person holds pages over and under the person taking the picture. Then they reciprocate.

The wall schedule does not change after it is posted.

The wall schedule does not change after it is posted.

And if it does it will have a timestamp on it if when exactly it’s printed out on what day.

Then don't fucking change it and hold your mistakes against us.

 

[Mikuhl]

I would have made mySchedule notify you of changes. 😔

 

[Hardlines4Life]

I experienced this twice during 4th quarter. My schedule was updated in Kronos, but not on the paper schedule. My Exec HR is relatively new & simply forgot to notify me. Or even ask if the change was ok. I'm often taken for granted, but don't complain much because I'm getting hours.

 

[Times Up]

Just put a sheet of paper over the info for the person who is above you and below you on the schedule. Then take your picture of the schedule. You're CYA yet protecting your coworkers privacy, IF that's what HR is truly worried about.

I check the wall schedule, then print out a copy from Mytime at home and make sure they match.

There’s really no need to take a photo of it anyway. If you don’t use Kronos or MyTime just write it down. We have a similar note and write up TMs caught taking a photo of it.
