Store Paygrades

HLTL, N15.

I hope that's inaccurate since I'm a Plano tl and I'm an n11

That list was last updated in 2009. It even lists Electronics TM as being N03.

When it comes to money I always care! Especially if it could have actually made a difference for the amount of time I have been a team lead

Part of the difference in paygrade was a matter of if you were hired outside of the company or from within.

I was hired from within so I feel it should be higher than hiring outside the company

 

[kingpin003]

Heh, that's not exactly how that works. Target knows you'll accept an offer that is less than an external hire, so they offer what they want.

No it isn't.

 

[Jack of all Workcenters]

No it isn't.

And yet it was, if you were hired as leadership outside the company you started at a 13 while internal was 11.

At some point in the last few years (obviously after the document was last edited), Spot decided that newly promoted TLs would be N11 instead of N13.

This is bullseye crap.

IIRC there wasn't much, if any, of a pay difference between the two, it was just a system designation. I could be completely wrong though, it has been a while since I last saw HRs list.

I think after a year or so, you could go through an interview or something and go up to N13. Or maybe I'm thinking of the ETL progression.

ETLs could move up to what amounted to a training paygrade, TLs can also do something similar for pay increase. Our SBTL did , but I never asked for any details.

From another thread:
One of the most common sources of confusion is Target's pay and minimum wage policy. Make sure you ask HR if you need answers to specific questions(we can give you likely answers, but nothing official), but I'd like to answer a few questions that always seem to pop up. On to the juicy details:

What is Target's minimum wage?
Unless your state or city has a higher amount it is currently $10.00 for N03. The amount is higher for different workcenters.

What does [workcenter] make?
It depends upon the paygrade. Target's TM pay scale runs from N03-N17, but only includes odd numbers. At each level there is an increase in pay.

N03 = Base pay [usually minimum wage](Cashier, Cart Attendant, Sales Floor)
N05 = Base + 25 cents (Instocks, Pricing, GSA, Brand TM)
N07 = Base + 50 cents (Flow, Backroom, Presentation, PA)
N09 = Base + 75 cents (TPS)
N11 = Base + 2.25 (Sr TPS)
N13 = Base + 3.00 (TL, APS)
N15 = Base + 4.00 (AP TL, Sr APS)
N17 = Base + 5.00 (Sr TL, PMT, VML)

If I promote to TL, does that mean I get a $3 raise?
Only if you are currently at N03 and promoting to N13. You have to subtract the raises already in your current paygrade, since you've already earned those. Someone who promoted from N07->N13 would receive a $2.50(3.00-0.50) raise.

What would I make in [state/city]?
That depends! Everywhere has different minimum wage laws, but a quick google search will be the easiest way to find out. The answer is complicated because it depends on your workcenter, tenure, the minimum wage of the area, shift differential, key carrier status, etc.

So you can't tell me?
You can take the minimum wage, and add the increase for your paygrade. That's a pretty good idea of where it'll be. You may make a little more if you work overnight or early morning, usually a $1.00 per hour shift differential.

$1.00! How can I score some of that sweet, delicious shift differential?
Sell your soul to Target. If you work at least 3 hours between 10 PM and 8 AM(sorry 6 AM stores!) you will receive differential for the number of hours between those times. If you work early AM and work 4 AM-9 AM, you would receive 4 hours of shift differential and 1 hour without.

What happens when we change unload times?
If you are switching from early AM to a later unload process that no longer qualifies, you may see some shift differential rolled into your base pay if you worked hours between those times. If you didn't work early AM, no soup (shift diff) for you.

If I transfer to somewhere with a higher minimum wage, what happens?
If you are lower than the base pay for your paygrade in that area, you will see an increase to that base.

Does Target take away pay if I transfer to somewhere with a lower minimum wage?
You should get to keep your current wage, even if it is higher than your new area's base pay. Great success!

What happens when the minimum wage increases in my area?
The floor for your workcenter is bumped up. Any team members lower than the new base for their workcenter(see above) will see an increase. If you already make more than that, you will not see any increase.

So does that mean new team members make the same as veterans?
Probably. Target's standard procedure is to bump up the floor only, which brings newer TMs closer to vets. It is possible if you have long tenure you may be above the new floor, but less likely as minimum wage continues to climb.

Why don't increases apply to everyone? Wouldn't that be fair?
The reality is that Target is not going to pay more for payroll than it needs to. Target complies with minimum wage laws when they are higher than company-wide minimums.

So how can I make more money?
To quote my DTL: "Merit raises are not intended to be large. Promote."
I don't see that changing any time soon, especially as minimum wage goes up. I recommend cross-training.

Do you have any burning questions that aren't answered here? New insight to share? Let me know!
Thanks

For me TPS was $1.00 above base. When I got SR TPS I got a $2.25 raise, which put me $3.25 above base. APS promotion gave me another $1.00 raise, so $4.25 above base. SR APS recently was another $1.00 raise so $5.25 above base.

No idea if this was more specific to my area though.

No, you don't get shift differential from 5 am to 8. Its stops at 5. When we went to four am for post black friday to first week of January we got shift differential of a $1 for that hour between 4 and 5.

Maybe your store was the exception to that because I got that extra dollar up until 8am.

Some stores got rid of shift differential and just added it to the hourly rate for the affected workcenters.

 

[aspiringETL]

When I'm scheduled for early morning PA shifts they love scheduling *just* so they don't pay me the differential. lol

That's what ours did years ago when we went to 6am, but when we went 4am and then overnight last November/December, we still got the shift diff.

If you're a cashier and you switch to Guest Service Desk, do you get a little pay raise? Just wondering for a co-worker.

Only if you are GSA...not if you are a cashier that happens to work at GS.

This. Cashier and service desk are the same paygrade.

Asants I work flow from 4 to 8 and get the extra dollar each hour

I don't think that's even asants. It should be the same for everyone and they were probably just wrong.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Some stores may not have the extra 1.00 option, if they are a 6am store. It usually starts before 5:30am.
