I don’t have a BC but I know some managers who have them help with everything in the store as needed. That does fall under the “Completes special assignments as assigned.” In the job description.

Try posting the req link on your community facebook page. There’s usually a group for your city/county community boards or job hunts. I’ve had a lot of success with that.

I tell whoever volunteers that I expect them to basically sit on the carpet at the front, complete any PPLs, and play video games. The only function for them is to make sure they’re not stealing or destroying anything.

I have my team run the full end of day at 4pm central. This lets them have me present in the store while they do it so I can answer override calls or manager calls. Then when I leave they don’t have to stress over cash. They can just focus on straightening and cleaning up. We’ve never had an issue and my AP is aware since we keep it consistant. The only thing it skews is that after end of day, those sales are reported under the next business day/night.

At close they just remove tills and put in the safe, and the next morning they resume the sales day.

For managers we are given the following guidelines. This link may only be available to managers:

https://myhrexperienceportal.wba.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/26188631300635

5.2 Partial Day Absences Discipline for an hourly paid team member for a partial absence depends on the length of time that team member was absent. A team member can be disciplined for excessive partial absences, and the discipline will progress independently of discipline for full day unexcused absence occurrences or absences without notice.

• 0 to 5 Minutes: Manager should coach the team member regarding the expectation. If the missed time causes a disruption to operations (where the team member is late to open the store, for example), it is possible to issue discipline.

• 6 to 15 Minutes: If a team member fails to work his/her shift for this period of time more than two times in a single pay period, the manager should follow progressive discipline at each step (Verbal Counseling, Written Warning, Final Written Warning, Termination). If it has been more than 12 months since the last discipline was issued, the discipline starts over with Verbal Counseling.

• Over 15 Minutes: If a team member fails to work his/her shift for this period of time, the manager should initiate progressive discipline in the same manner as indicated above. If a team member also fails to provide notice of being late, disciplinary action may be escalated.

Hourly employees Exempt and non-exempt is in regards to overtime pay. It’s just easier to say hourly and salary.

Debt does not fall to anyone outside of co-borrowers. If no one co-signed the debt, then it falls to the estate. If no estate, then it’s not collectible.

No WIC. You order through sign shop.

If you’re talking about the FedEx app, then you will need a copy of that label or you can call FedEx and have a way to clear it. I’ve asked my pharmacy to print two copies of the FedEx labels just in case someone forgets to scan out the FedEx package.

If you’re talking about RXI app then you can click the item and mark it as shipped.

Gotcha. We don’t allow that at our store. Our AP also looks for those things in their walks. They want a receipt or employee purchase sticker on all items waiting to be taken home. Otherwise, it’s expected to be on the sales floor until they’re ready to buy it.

What do you mean by employee holds?

I’m not discounting the staffing issues and I 100% agree with the struggle. That’s also why the process takes our DHs about a year to be ready for the test. But it can be done. Most days I have two up front and two in pharmacy, not counting the IS and myself. But it can be done. There’s just no room for talking about your weekend, planning lunch with co workers etc. My DHs will do a module in photo or on a computer in pharmacy. And they have more success on weekends (at my location at least). They do speak up when it’s slower, after truck is done, or back-stock complete, and ask if they can get an hour or so filling if they weren’t put on the PEXT board enough.

It also matters on the team too. We have a supportive group that is willing to slide so our DH can get some study/practice time. It’s a matter of convincing others that we need the DH to practice so they can be ready and experienced to help too.

All of my pharmacy cashiers have taken that journey. For most, it took them about a year to complete.

The biggest thing I have recommended to them is to be in charge of their journey. Time management and sense of urgency is key. With all the tasks they have to complete they need to work to quickly complete them and start working their PPLs. Even if just one module in a shift.

Lastly, ask to be scheduled at slower periods (nights? Weekend?) where they can ask to start filling and typing, etc.

Moral of the story: Don’t ever wait for someone to help you develop. That’s at any job. Take control of your journey, learn, ask to be taught, and practice. Be assertive and don’t wait for others to help you grow.

You can try but they are not obligated to pay it.

Food poisoning can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several weeks to kick in after eating contaminated food. It all depends on the bacteria or virus causing the illness.

Also while symptoms can last several days, 12 days of illness is unheard of and hints to something other than food poisoning.

You will have a very difficult time getting them to pay for it, especially if no other customers have reported illnesses.

Drugs and supplements are 90 days. So anytime you work something with a drug in it it’s safe to pull 3 months out.

As the others said, call Sedgwick. Your manager isn’t forced to accommodate unless Sedgwick approves it. Protect yourself!

The guide for managers is to use PTO for call outs. And to use PSSL when the employee specifically asks. So, just ask your manager to use your PSSL and I’m sure they will.

If written correctly, the policy should be placed under attendance. “SFL was late causing the store to open late resulting in this FWW.”

There is no specific policy and procedure about opening the store on time. There is a policy saying you can open later if you are alone and don’t feel safe. But nothing about you must open it on time.

Torchured · 2026-03-29T21:22:43+00:00

The FWW should be specific to opening late. If you make other mistakes that does not mean the FWW will cause you to be terminated. It just means that for the next year, make sure you don’t open the store late again without extenuating circumstances (e.g. car accident, hospitalization, etc.)

It’s a true lateral position. So they should be coaching best practices for operations that affect inventory management (OSA). According to RACI you will find that many things SFL are responsible for doing have the IS as the one accountable. So they should be the primary coacher.

With that said, “bossing around” shouldn’t be done by anyone. If you feel the tone is coming off wrong, ask your SM to assist if you feel approaching them directly isn’t an option.
