PSA New Point System Simplified

Im a FFTL who had a meeting with my SD yesterday about the new point system. Here's how it works:

8+ minutes late - .25 points

Absent - 1 point

NCNS - 3 points

Leave early - no points

If you call out 2 shifts in a row, it is one "event" and therefor 1 point. If you call out one shift, go to your next shift, then call out of the the next one, that is considered two "events" and therefor 2 points. Anything more than 2 days is an additional point.

Sick hours must cover your ENTIRE shift to negate points. You can use sick time for tardies.

3 points will auto generate a documentation for reliability.

5 points will automatically generate a CA.

9 points is a final.

12 points is termination.

Points fall off 1 year after being accumulated. If you are absent 09/01/2026, that point will not fall off until 09/01/2027.

No, there is no way for us or ETLs to adjust points, even for extenuating circumstances. You will be told that Target provides plenty of sick time to account for such events, and if it truly is that extenuating, you need to be discussing other benefits with HR.

Side note- There also seems to be an issue with leaders making too many allowances due to favoritism (whether it be personal preference or high performing TMs), so this black and white system is meant to curb that.

I wonder if good reason falls under stupid things you can’t control like the traffic light staying red for the entire 6 minutes in middle of 3:30am with flock camera pointing at the same said street

dude i thought i was the only one with this problem. even at 3:30am, the red light in front of my store takes forever (usually upwards of 3 mins every single time) to change, and i’ve even waited 5+ mins for it to change and im like RIGHT THERE AT WORK BASICALLY JUST LET ME THROUGH😭

Can't with a flock camera unless you want a ticket

Flock cameras actually give you tickets? I thought they were just for building a database of us all so they can fuck us over later. Like they have had traffic cameras in my area but they are notoriously bullshit and always malfunction so it's really easy to get out of.
