How does Kroger calculate how many hours the front end earns. My manager was talking to be about it, as I had no idea how the budgeting of how many hours we get works. So for the week in question, the front end had 500ish sign on hours, but only earned 300ish for the following week, how does this process work...

New Supervisor here! I was looking at que, and had a quick question about the dips. If a supervisor gets a dip at 4:00, does that dip reflect 3:30-4:00 or 3:00-4:00? I've been told both ways, but the 3:30 to 4:00 option Doesn't make sense in my opinion.

My store does 50 grand in dry grocery every day, and we only have 4 employees that work at night on truck nights if they're lucky. 1 guy during the day. Store is always a wreck lol. What do you get to work with?

HOW WOULD I GET A COPY OF THE RECEIPT? IT WAS TAX EXEMPT BECAUSE WE ARE A NON-PROFIT. I ALSO CHARGED IT TO OUR ACCOUNT. THE TOTAL IS $9.79. I NEED IT FOR THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT.

Been with Kroger's for a year and I have been paying $2.50 for insurance a week. I haven't gone full time or added anyone but for 4 weeks it went up to $5 then it went back down to $2.50. I talked to the person who does payroll at our store and she said speak with the union rep which I did and she spits out some bul...

I have 2 questions. 1. So I just got hired about a week ago, and in my first week they gave me 20 hours. I have tons of hard classes and it's my junior year, plus I only have about $80 worth of expenses a month, so I want to move down to 10 hours a week. (two 5 hour shifts) This would give me more time for school and t...

I've been at Kroger since June of 2015, and I've been looking for something better to do with myself. I've decided I want to get into medical coding, and that I could either take a class and become certified or I could go through college (but, I'd rather do the class), but the class is expensive. My questi...

I just started working at turkey hill in PA and I know the Oshawa regulation is after 6 hours u are entitled to a brake of at least a half hour to eat or whatever, my store does not allow brakes at all. How can I make sure the law is being followed without getting fired?

I don't know how scheduling vacations works for any other locations but at my store, we must go through the head store manager to have her mark the date we want on the vacation calendars. In early October 2015, I did just that because I wanted Halloween week off. Unfortunately I could not get that week of...

I don't have my handbook anymore so I can't really look it up. Anyways, i'm a very good worker and everyone in my department loves me. Today, I did something stupid and left an hour early because everything I needed to get done was done. After I clocked out, one of the customer service people asked me why I...

Stores in my area are (again, what a surprise!) hiring and have set up little unmanned hiring tables with information on what Kroger has to offer as an employer and how to apply. You know what's listed at the top on the pamphlets and little cards (for the first time)? Competitive Pay. Um... competitiv...

Just how hard is the concept of finish what's in one box before opening another? I work in the bakery and I'm constantly finding multiple open boxes of the same product. I straightened out the cookie section in the freezer the other day. I found 2 open cases of sugar cookies, 3 open cases of chocolate...

I've worked here for about a month and haven't gotten a paycheck, do I have to ask at the service desk, or do they just give you them?

Are there any particular policies for when too many grocery items get left behind on your watch? I was told on my first day there a few months ago that you could get in trouble if it happens too often. I've made the mistake a few times and I've seen others make it too but I've never heard or seen anyone get in t...

Is it normal for most people, at least in my position (courtesy clerk) to get less hours right before and after any major holidays, at Kroger?

The insurance I get from my store sucks ass. With the amount of money I get paid and the so few hours I get, there is NO way I can afford the bare minimum insurance they give me... In order to use it, I'd have to pay out $2,500 each year not including other costs, before insurance will even kick in. That's dam...

Anyone in Cincy/Dayton know what the rules are for status 3? Like what happens if someone gets it but with the department there aren't enough hours for everyone. Say for example your department gets 140 hours and you have 2 full time status 1s. They get a total of 80 hours which leaves you with 60 hours fo...
