Does anyone know if e-schedule takes seniority into account when generating a schedule? I've heard at least three answers (no, it only goes by how long you've been employed, and that it gives priority to full-timers 1st), and am not sure who to believe. Or does it differ from store to store?
E-Schedule doesn't care how long you've worked for Kroger. To it we are all a bunch of robots. It does look at your availability. If you're not available to work on certain days and it will cut your hours rather than reschedule them on the days you are available.
Officially, it takes seniority into account and blah blah blah, but in actual practice:

Not sure if that's true.
My availability was extremely bad during the summer because I babysat 7-4pm everyday. Instead of cutting my hours, it just worked around my unavailable time and actually kept giving me 30+ hrs a week... which i asked for ~25 hours. but whatever. I got a lot of midnight shifts because of it..
Yes it does. Availability is taken into account before seniority though. It's not going to plug you into random spots just to give you hours. Availabilities like 7am to 4:30pm monday thru friday, saturdays 9am to 3:00pm and Sundays off are going to get hosed on hours every week until you open it up. Or until you've literally been there the longest.
