what are the benefits of a full time employee

Anonymous

I looked at my paystub for 1/4/13 and it looks like they're taking out too much for medicare. I believe the tax rate is 1.45%, but it looks like they took out closer to 6%. I looked at my paystubs for 2012 and they took out only 1.45%. I am aware that Social Security payroll taxes have increased from 4.2% to 6...

Our contract expires this June and I have not heard anything regarding negotiations or updates of any kind. Has anyone heard anything regarding the status of our next contract ? I am wondering how the passage of right to work will affect talks between the union and Kroger (Michigan). Any info woul...

With these comments by Dave Dillon , I have to wonder what the plan is for this company as contract talks come up for us and other locals. Mr Dillon said Kroger intended to continue covering all full-time employees but maintained that parts of the law were simply not workable. If you look through th...

On Wednesday we all had to go upstairs and take a computer test on data leaks. One of the things they talked about in the test was posting negative things about Kroger anywhere online, including forums. It made me laugh.

So how much of that new French bread has your store thrown away? A case (16 loaves) each hour for three hours is ridiculous. We probably wouldn't sell one case the entire evening. Anytime they do something like that and insist you do so much whether you know it's going to sell or not, somebody is gett...

Is it acceptable? I cannot for the life of me pronounce one of our manager's last name. I thought of paging him over the intercom as Mr (Firstname) but everyone in my department acted horrified. Now I just say "any available manager" when I need to talk to him and sometimes I get a manager who i...

I'm sick today. It's gotten pretty bad over the last few hours and it seems to be getting worse. Luckily I was off today, but I don't see myself getting better by tomorrow. I'd rather just call off tonight and not have to worry about waking up 2 hours early to call off tomorrow morning. Do they give you a ha...

Yesterday I saw a paper that said, that in a 12 month period, you only get 2 "free" call in instances. Doesn't matter if it's for the weather, for being sick, anything. After that, on the 3rd call in during the 12 months, you get a warning. After the 4th one, you get talked to about it. After the 5...

Do they write on your schedule when you're bumped, or what? Are you supposed to ask someone if it was approved?
