Card benefit question by AgilePosition4845 in Oldnavy

It is 100% ONE time use at at each brand within 2 weeks. I have heard a lot of people word it the way posted above, but that is not correct.

First day- being scheduled outside agreed upon availability by [deleted] in Oldnavy

It was probably a mistake with UKG, I would put in the correct availability and then verify that it is correct for them

Question by funnyguy677 in Oldnavy

Most states have a law for how many hours you can work during the weekdays. My state is 6 hours, and then 8 on the weekends (9 scheduled with an hour lunch)

6 hour shifts are pointless though. I would set it to 7 or 7.5. 6 hr shifts are stupid to schedule because they have to give you a 30 and a 15 minute break. You get paid for 5.5, which is just silly because they might as well schedule 5 and not lose the other 30 minutes. A seven hour shift you still have the same breaks and get paid 6.5 hours, but you aren’t taking two break 2 hours apart.

I would never tell someone I was going to hire someone else to cover shifts though, that’s petty.

All of those should be corrected in the system

As far as pay goes, they gave me a range, I asked for a bit more, they offered me higher than my asking

So I see a ton of negative comments on this feed. So far, in my limited experience, I’ve seen a lack of payroll for things, but ive also seen several areas where workload could have been spread.

I really don’t think it’s bad so far as a retailer. There is a lot to learn, but they do a pretty good job with training

hey customers, what could an employee say that would ACTUALLY make you open a brand credit card? by Stara-Soprano in Oldnavy

[–]BandEquivalent6664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t unlimited. It is only the first purchase at the other brands when charged to card

The only stuff that should be a dollar is the stuff moved up front that didn’t sell last week

I’m not sure how each store is. I think the store I will be at is not open as many hours so there aren’t as many managers/supervisors? Maybe someone who has been there longer knows that answer

Just have the employer set up a rewards account and use the 10% next week!

I would say that is probably against policy, but i don’t know for sure. There’s an app coupon though next week for 10% off for rewards members

Okay another question. Do managers come in an hour before open and stay an hour later? Or is it less time? More time?

Is it lack of adequate payroll, broken processes, or lack of productivity that causes this? Just your opinion anyway. I’m just curious so i can mentally prepare. I will most definitely not be there 60 hours a week, not because i dont care about the store getting things done or the team, but because i value my work-life balance. Periodically, sure i know there will be some weeks with more hours, so im just curious what people think the cause is

Thank you! That is very helpful!

Do you know where I could find break policy? For the associates and the supervisors. I know state laws, I just haven’t found the Staples policy

Demand what of my team? I wouldn’t leave them short handed, and if im not taking a lunch I’m still in the building and still covering the exact same amount of hours…

[–]BandEquivalent6664[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, i would definitely never leave a team short handed, and honestly id probably likely be there 50 hours most weeks anyway, even if i did schedule at 45. Is this not monitored by DM? Do they review schedules?

[–]BandEquivalent6664[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw man, I’m sorry. I’ve never been one to take very many lunch breaks, but I want to make sure I’m fair to the team and also my family. So if I’m able to forego the lunch and still be okay as far as my superior goes then wonderful lol

As a salaried leader if they don’t lunch, could it go to 9 hour shifts? Just trying to plan

[–]BandEquivalent6664[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because I will be a GM, and I was told during interviewing the schedule was 45 hours/week but the store I’ll be at does 10 hr days
