asking for days off because they violate my availability (ranting)
Permalink   


does anyone else have this issue? i keep asking the schedule writer to look at my availability and she tells me to give it to her again. i write it for her every week and she keeps violating it and using the excuse that she is really forgetful. i have talked to the manager of my area and the store manager and have gotten no where!! so i keep requesting days off on e-schedule just so i can get the days off i need. this is bull ****! i am fed up with these people!!

Put in an availability request. If your boss is checking time off requests, surely she's checking those too (she should be regardless)

If you're putting it in e-schedule she is seeing it. the system prompts for the writer to look at any new or pending requests before they even start altering the schedule in any way.

File a dang grievance and until then ONLY work the hours you are available.  If they schedule you earlier or later simply tell them you can't and that you've notified the schedule writer umpteen million times and you are filing a grievance.  Don't let them push you around anymore.  Others in your store should do the same.  Speak with other employees and see if this is happening to them and see if they will file a grievance along with you.  Power in numbers!

THIS. plus you have to give a reason not to accept an availiability request like "understaffed"

You can actually ignore those requests. It's hard to ignore time off requests because it inserts a "?" into each day that has a pending request, but you can technically ignore them and just start inputting shifts. Availability requests, however, are easy to miss. And unless other divisions differ from mine (which I doubt) there isn't actually any prompt that comes up when a request isn't addressed. There is a tally of pending requests on the home screen, but most writers never see those numbers because they go straight into whatever they were doing in eschedule.
