Oh yes they have sc--wed everyone out of there hard earned PTO. Now salary people can't take there PTO until its accrued, even though store managers want to know when they are taking there PTO ahead of time. How are salary managers going to take there time off if it's not accrued? Cause we have restrictions, can't take time off during certain times of the year. Guess we will be taking vacations back to back. What a joke this place is. Sc--wing there hard working people out of there PTO.

I wish they would close our store. It's getting even worse. 2 associates opening the store and 1 associate plus 1 key holder closing. All the customers complaining and giving bad surveys. And they expect us to beg for 10's. More and more being piled on everybody. It is really bad.
Not front loading managers paid time off is a red flag that the company is in financial distress, I certainly hope any manager who relies on Belk as their primary source of income is actively looking for employment. Please don’t get caught off guard when Belk suddenly lays off and/or closes more stores.
@x5 are you speaking as a sales manager or as a floor associates because the floor associates have not had those frontloaded for a while we earned them every two weeks now we earn them every week
I've never had PTO preloaded to my account. My personal time was preloaded but not PTO.
@rm wrong, it has always been given/loaded in the PTO bank up front in February. We had it there to plan our weeks out for the year. So your wrong
@r4- Just call out. End of story.
PTO was always accrued. Personal time was fronted loaded. More lies.
Exactly. They changed the policy without giving us the chance to use our PTO. And did not have the decency to honor it. What gives them the right? Oh yeah. I remember they are a disgusting group of human beings.
Belk changed PTO from being front-loaded to being accrued over time, for both salary and hourly associates. The total PTO eligibility didn’t change — only when it becomes available — so you can now only use what you’ve accrued, and everyone needs to check their individual accrual rate to plan ahead.
For long-tenured associates, the timing between blackout periods and fiscal year rollover makes planning critical. You have to get your balance as low as possible before holiday blackout, because you’ll keep accruing and may end up near 50 hours again with only a short ~2-week window after inventory to use enough time to get below the 40-hour carryover limit or lose it.
Red flag after red flag with this company. Thankfully I will be able to retire in June. Thank the lord!
