MEGATHREAD The On-Demand Team Member (ODTM) Thread

Technically the max is 6mo before they can term you

Actually, at 6 months you auto term. If you have been contacted to work in the 6 weeks and don't, you can be termed.

OD status is not something you get just by asking. It is a way to keep your good people. If your SD wants to specify that you work every other week or whatever, as a condition before putting you OD, they can. They won't be able to term you before the 6 weeks though.

That got moved to 6 months in the system.

The rule is to work a shift at least every 6 months for 4 hours.
You also do not have to say yes to any shift offers.

To say that they can call you and term you for not accepting a shift in the less than 6 months that Corporate gave you would violate the agreement you signed with them.

I just got off of “on demand” a few months ago. Can I go back to on demand?

Yup my agreement with my etl is "you can text me if you need a closer or on the weekend."

I was teasing one of our od team member. After clocking in they were having to sit in front of the computer and update all their training. They had 5 to update.

Can you schedule and OD shift just to catch up on training? That would rock, TBH.

You can, but the store might be unwilling to do this very often. Just talk to your ETL and to HR.

 

[starmaster1000]

Yes, we do that. Usually scheduled 4 hours in the system and you can stay longer or less depending on the trainings needed and how long it takes you.

I took 3 trainings and it took me 2 hours. But I stayed the other two just running reshop because they needed the help.

Editing main post to include that while yearly performance reviews won’t happen for ODTMs, they’re still eligible for yearly base pay increases.

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

All ODTMs hired before Q4 are getting a 2% increase

I'm a little confused - does personal leave still exist or has it been completely replaced by the ODTM?

I'm going out of the country later this year for longer than 6 weeks (I'm not a student), so I don't know that the ODTM would cover me for my return. I do plan on discussing with HR about it, but I'm just seeking some clarification on if personal leave exists and if I'd be able to take it

 

[Yetive]

It still exists.

Hmmmm I wonder is there an option for a leader to go on demand? Like an on demand team leader? ODTL 😣😭

Are on demand team members allowed to call in sick / use sick time?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Are on demand team members allowed to call in sick / use sick time?

I would not do it. My state doesn’t have sick time.

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

Are on demand team members allowed to call in sick / use sick time?

Yes, if your state has it.

it doesn’t look great though if you pick up a shift and then call out for it, though in most states I believe they technically can’t retaliate against you for using it

As a strategy for obtaining more hours I think I m going to do this. I v somehow gotten like into a 4 hour mid 6 days a week...in a row...so I am always frozen out of picking up any shifts. HR has yet to remedy this or give an explanation as to why; as the most experience d TM , I suddenly have the fewest hours of staff

I would ask to extend on those days. Or ask the TL/etl of the department that needs it. That's how i ended up swapung those 4s into 6 or 8's with the other half being fullfillment, cashier. Or etc

 

[IWishIKnew]

One more shift until I'm (hopefully) officially On Demand. I need to fill out some paperwork, apparently, but I'm not on the schedule for next week. Woohoo!

 

[BurgerBob]

The most annoying part of on demand was the training i needed to retake

YES. they need to fix that

 

[SallyHoover]

I've asked and been approved to become On Demand. Are there specific forms that I need to fill out or is it just a matter of my ETL letting HR know?

You will need to accept one form on workday… and then redo every single training applicable to your role 🙃
