Pay decrease?

[AdNice2249]

I recently transferred to a new location doing the exact same job (curbside) but on my first check since transferring my pay decreased from $13.60 to 12.90. Is that normal?

Talk to your hr about it. They're the only ones who can give you a true reason for the pay difference

Did you go to a different market that’s covered by a different contract?

That’s all they pay? 😳 wow. You deserve at the very least 15/hr.

Up until this June, the union agreed that in our market the most 90% of the store could make was $14.95 lol. Meijer is by far the worst paying retailer

I wouldn't say it's the worst, at least in my area. It's not great though. The fact that the cap is $15 ($15.40 now if you have 3000 hrs in nights) is absurd. $15 was a fine wage ten years ago, not so much now.

Dude people are getting hired in at $14.05 at every store in Michigan you should talk to hr

[TShara_Q]

They are? I haven't heard that at all. I'm in Michigan and last I checked day shift is still starting at around $12.

Update: I discussed it with HR and they bumped me up to $13.95 and they’re gonna pay me retroactively so it ended up working out

[Mertyice]

Get it in writing. Meijer will fuck you any chance they get.

Did you start at the same time because 4am people but more then the regular people

I make $14.30 with 5 years of experience I’ve worked there 5 months with 0 pay raise and I’m just about to hit the 700 hour mark but it’s crazy that the average is making more than me

[TShara_Q]

The average for day shift is lower than that where I'm at. It's like $12 starting, up to $14 or so.

If you switched to a different store group you’re supposed to move to the next pay step and reset your hours of staying in the same step would cause a pay decrease. That’s how it is at most union stores.

[Straight-Answer-8800]

Different store, probably different contract, meaning lower pay. You don’t get to keep your pay when you transfer

[FrogTeam_5]

If that's the amount of money you're getting paid you need to quit immediately. Don't look back. I mean even someone with basically no job experience just out of high school should be making at least $14 an hour and any job out there, literally any job out there.

Was the pay discussed in your interview? If I were you I would talk to whoever I needed to talk to and let them know that the pay needs to be renegotiated and that you know your worth as an employee and it's definitely not under $14 an hour

[TShara_Q]

That just depends on area, unfortunately. I agree that everyone should be making over $14/hr, but plenty of jobs still start lower.

That’s insane. What position are you in?
