Every week there is a problem with my schedule. I've been at kroger for almost 2 years and I've never been the person to work less than 18 hours. My manager scheduled me 12 even though I am above many people. It makes me mad because EVERYBODY under me had more hours.. Is this fair?
Is your availabilty limited? Even though they're suppose to give more hours to employees with higher seniority, E-Schedule doesn't care about that. If it wants to schedule you at a time you're not available, it won't try to fit you in somewhere else. It'll just put someone else in that spot and leave you out in the cold. That goes against most contracts. You should get at least as many hours as anyone who has less seniority than you do. Talk to your dept manager or if necessary, your union steward.
Not really I'm unavailable one day a week and he gave me 5 days off that I could be working..
claim shifts that are within your availability. as long as the people below you get the contract minimum this is perfectly OK under contract.
Hold on here. That's not always a viable option. Some contracts require you to roll an entire week. That, combined with the requirement of matching availabilities and job training for both associates, makes it very difficult to roll.
I saw that in the letter I got regarding the new Cincy/Dayton contract.
Status 4 associate's now have to claim the entire weeks schedule.
That to me is BS. If you are higher seniority, you should get the 8-4 over the 1-9 of the newbie employee without having to claim their whole week.

That's the point of requiring they roll the entire week, more power for kroger to abuse employees and give them no recourse.
Explain this status thing. We don't have that in my division.
We don't use the term status but we have 4 contract tiers. I think it is similar to status.
Tier 1 is old timers hired from beginning of time to 1987.
Tier 2 anyone hired from 1987-2004. Top out 50 cents above me.
Tier 3 is anyone hired from 2004-2010. I am in this contract which is so so.
Tier 4 is anyone hired from 2010 to current. This contract sux. Top out $4 below me until they are hired full time. Then they make $2.50 less than me. There is no financial incentive to make a career out of kroger.
Lol we have part time and full time. No status bs.
Ours is like that except for people who have been full time since 1983. They get $2.12/hr. more over a regular full time employee at top pay. Of course if they're a department head, they get even more.
