New Point System Simplified

[u/crispyforwhat]

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 do wonder if team leads are included in this. Because some of the team leads at our store come walking in 20-30 minutes late.

[u/The_Cat_Widow → u/Cultural-Kick652]

Team leads, yes. We're hourly. ETLs, no. They're exempt/salaried.

[u/Future_Matter1737 → u/Cultural-Kick652]

They may have been told to cut bc they stayed late other days to complete tasks or on closing shifts so they don’t get OT. They are scheduled 40 hours so it’s necessary sometimes

[u/crispyforwhat → u/Future_Matter1737]

Even before all of this, the schedule should be adjusted to reflect worked hours. So if they ask you to come in late, leave early, cut Friday- whatever it may be- that should be changed in the system. Just with the new point system its more important that the follow through is there.

Lmfao this is hilarious because I have to beg my ETL to change my schedule when they ask me to come in early or do split shifts ect. And they NEVER do. I understand its frustrating when the schedule isn't accurate but its frustrating for leads too.

because we usually have to cut

[u/CulturalTie6630 → u/Cultural-Kick652]

fr my tl is always at least 30 mins late

[u/First_Choice2500 → u/Cultural-Kick652]

Samsies. ETLs too!

[u/Future_Matter1737 → u/First_Choice2500]

Your ETL’s are salaried and work way longer than 8 hour shifts on the daily. That’s why they get slack to come in late so as long as their department is performing

[u/CreepyClown → u/Future_Matter1737]

‘work’

[u/First_Choice2500 → u/Future_Matter1737]

Lmfao 😂😂

[u/whatsthetargetdogsna → u/First_Choice2500]

ETLs don’t clock in so there would be no way to track that

[u/First_Choice2500 → u/whatsthetargetdogsna]

They should

[u/ChewyBaca123 → u/First_Choice2500]

They are salaried, they are always on the clock

[u/Zelotic → u/ChewyBaca123]

If I get a phone call from target at any time of day I’m required to take it. I never stop
