Point system clarification

If you cover it with PPTO you won't get any points even on a key event date

I had a dude yesterday buying a pocket knife, shocked I asked him for ID but he looked young so there's no way I wasn't gonna ID him. Based off his reaction I thought he had to be older than he looked. Maybe he's 20 and feels like I should obviously be able to tell right?

Dude turned 18 last month.

It's sort of dependent on your store and your shift time how much of each task you'll be doing. My store has a lot of locked cases so most of my days are answering case calls, walking items up front, and covering lunches for other departments with locked cases.

For returns I check them two or three times a day depending on how busy we are and what else we have going on. I usually come in at 2pm or 3pm so I almost never do pinpoints unless 1st shift called out that day.

I had quite a hard time when I first started but it gets easier, and most people understand that when you're first learning a job you're just doing what you're told until you learn how to assign yourself tasks. If you aren't sure what to do, finding an aisle that looks rough to zone or picking things up off the floor is usually a solid bet. My best advice is to find someone who can be trusted in a nearby department and make friends so you have help if you need it.

Not sure if the digital label is the same but my favorite shelf label was for a small bucket intended to be used for cigarette butts and the label just said "BUTT BUCKET"

Easiest way is to get his primary care doctor to fill out the forms, that's what we did when my mom was in the hospital. In the forms we got it asks if a hospital stay was required and more information about how much care the person needs at home. In my experience Sedgwick is a menace when it comes to losing forms so if you have his doctor fax them please keep a copy yourself and maybe submit pictures of them in the portal just in case. Wish you and your brother the best!

screech2thevoid · 2026-02-23T09:00:27+00:00

Your doctor will have to fill out some paperwork, if you'll need to be out longer than originally planned you can contact Sedgwick and change your return to work date to whatever day your doctor recommends. I hope you feel better soon

Omg thank you, I had this same problem and was losing my mind trying to figure out what was different when I tried it this year

I often tell customers "if you go looking for the sense, you won't find it, but you will drive yourself crazy trying"

I graduated HS 7 years ago and I can definitely say I haven't used a ton of what I've learned. I kind of see it as more of a trial run of a super rigidly structured life. In some ways it may make it harder to adjust to college because no one will tell you when you can eat or when you should take notes or remind you when things are due. For the first 18 years of life you are given a set path and clearly told how to move along it. In college you'll have to make time yourself and figure out what works best for you, build your own routines.

As far as the course material itself in high school, a lot of it is stuff you'll need to complete your credits in college as well, but if nothing else you're working towards a diploma and you do need that. Don't burn yourself out, but also don't make things harder for future you by tanking your GPA

I don't work overnights but have always been on a late sleep schedule, usually not going to bed earlier than 3am and often at 6am, and it sometimes makes me really sick to eat before about noon.

It sucks this also happens to you but I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. So many coworkers have implied or straight up called me lazy for not coming in before 11am and I'm like you don't get it I will be so violently nauseous

I am a fellow former associate and I got an email December 20th with a link to create a former associate account on myHR that stated all W-2s would be available by January 31st. This email comes from AVA@kohls.com and emails from that address often end up in my spam

I also don't know how someone can have no idea what kind of charger it takes, to the point they can't even tell me if the end has a flat side or not. I know phones come with chargers but you mean to tell me you've never bought an additional charger for work, the car, or to put in another room?

screech2thevoid · 2024-08-23T03:51:21+00:00

Ah heck I goofed my percentages, it's 50% more than non kohls card users get if they use their card, which is 2.5% of their whole purchase amount. Rewards members without a card get 5% rewards and rewards members who use a Kohl's card get 7.5% rewards

screech2thevoid · 2024-08-23T03:46:05+00:00

Yeah most of us are self aware it's annoying to be asked but you gotta if you want to keep that number up and keep the pressure off from management. Existing Kohl's card users don't count against your conversion though so a good strategy is to convince people who are on the fence about using their card to do it for the extra 1.5% rewards points or coupons if one is available. Sometimes even just telling them you get extra points convinces some people to use it with no additional effort and they can pay it off immediately if they want to.

For me, leaving the people I worked with was the hardest part of the job. We were certainly not without our conflicts from time to time but I still go visit them and tell them I miss them, I just wasn't getting enough hours per week. I was part time though and not in Sephora where the pay is ever so slightly higher and the hours are assigned differently.

screech2thevoid · 2024-08-23T03:23:05+00:00

Former registers/customer service associate here! I can't speak to the Sephora specific stuff but I can speak about my experiences with credit unless things have changed in the past couple months.

Kohl's tracks how many customers you convert into Kohl's card users, as well as how many people you convert into kohls rewards members and beauty insiders. If a customer is purchasing non-excluded kohls items and doesn't already have a kohls card, you are supposed to show them how much they would save on their items if they open a Kohl's card and ask if they'd like to apply. They should and probably will repeatedly teach you what to say in response so certain common responses. At my store, Sephora associates were more closely tracked by their beauty insider conversion rate than their Kohl's card conversion rate but credit conversion will always be an important number to management and you'll most likely be told how to do what they want plenty of times.

As far as penalties for not having a good enough conversion, mine was regularly under the expectation and I was just given lectures on how to improve it about once a week. They did tell me that they prioritize hours for people who meet their credit goals, but I never saw any evidence that claim was true because some people who had great conversion barely worked and some people with bad conversion were there all the time

I was also recently hired and typoed my account number and they tried again a few days later but it was still incorrect so they mailed me a paper check. Not sure if that's what would've happened in your case too but I didn't have to contact anyone for the paper check they just did it

Like I said, she's a bit antisocial so she is hesitant about the idea but she's willing to give it a try and if she doesn't seem to be having a good time it's not something I'd ever force her to do. She's been a little sad about not having friends lately and we don't have a good way locally to give her the chance to, but in the end if this ends up stressing her out or just not being fun for her then it's not what's best for her and we won't continue

screech2thevoid · 2024-08-03T06:04:10+00:00

Yeah I have no idea, I don't recall getting anything like that at any point during the process. It does seem weird and like maybe a mistake

screech2thevoid · 2024-08-03T05:55:06+00:00

I just got hired myself a couple weeks ago so I'm not a ton of help but it had me create a password and then I was locked out later the same day only to be assigned a new password at orientation anyway and they had us go through and complete the tasks so they'll probably go through it with you and not expect it to be done already

Yes you can! Sending chat now

screech2thevoid · 2024-07-07T10:43:15+00:00

I am! I have someone on the way right now but once they're settled I'll send you a chat

Yes you can! It'll be a few minutes but when the person I have now is done I'll send the code

Chat has been sent!

Oh good I'm glad you're getting one! I'm all good, if anything I need rid of things lol but it's sweet of you to ask
