Thread regarding Belk layoffs

Are you a victim of unfair scheduling??

Are you being scheduled:

Excessively early morning or late evening shifts?

Back to back closing and opening shifts ?

More than 5 day stretches?

Longer than 8 hour workdays?

Split shifts ?

Having hours cut suddenly to zero or almost no hours?

Asked to work while your on a vacation? (Salary)

Asked to go without a meal break?

Asked to take a two hour meal break to save payroll hours?

Asked to come in excessively on a scheduled day off?

Cutting certain associates hours, and giving those hours to a “favorite “ ??

In our store updating your availability won't help, they still schedule you those days. And coming in part time is not the same as committing to full time with Belk.

They used to do that to me (part time with another full time job). Between both jobs I was working 7 days a week, back to back. Other people were getting Saturdays or Sundays off but I was being scheduled every last one of them. I finally had to update my availability. Then they would try to override my availability and schedule me on the days I listed as no longer available, until they realized I wasn't going to come in on those days.

And now, if you call out sick they won’t let you use your PTO days because they have called in someone to cover.

They probably are trying to get rid of me but good luck finding somebody to run almost all of center core for the little bit that they pay me. Believe me I am trying to get out of Belk.

Yes. The back to backs and 7 day stretches are particularly difficult.
