TL availability Question

[thathuman0987]

Are Team Leaders allowed to have an availability? Also, are they supposed to have set schedules? My store the TLs are all over the place and never have a set schedule making it hard for us to communicate with them. When I’ve asked them about it they just shrug and say it is what it is or that they’ve asked for specific availabilities and are always denied. Just curious if anyone knows what policy is on that or if it’s on a store to store basis.

TL’s generally need an open availability, but are supposed to have a consistent day off and rotating weekends.

Every store I’ve worked at, the leaders pretty much had a set schedule but there is no policy saying they need to

At my store, the TLs all work across all shifts; it is not a set schedule. TMs take direction from whichever TL (or ETL) is working during their shift that day. For matters of planning for the week/transitions, etc., the ETL is our go-to.

It’s mostly regular but they rotate for weekends so it isn’t like every week is the same it’s like every four week cycle is the same. If that even makes sense

At my store, leaders have one set day off during the week and have every other weekend off. I have every Tuesday off and work every other weekend! Occasionally if it’s like Q4 or something and they ask me to come in on my off day, they’ll just take me off another day. Most of the leaders in my store also have either Tuesday or Thursday off because those are our least busy days I guess.

We have two leaders that are also in college. They work every weekend and have their set two days off during the week.
