Recently, the eschedule was put into full affect at my store (great right?). However, before this and for two years I was getting 40 hours and to what I thought was status 3 because I remember signing the paperwork at the same time as receiving FULL TIME healthcare. I found out just days before the eschedule took into full effect that I was not status 3, rather I was status 4... The only thing I could think of was due to my availability a year ago for about three months I had to restrict my availability due to my graduate studies internship. However, since then I have had open availability but my department head claims I have a restricted schedule since I prefer to work nights. I talked to my union rep and was told I could still have status 3 and prefer nights (even though I am like second to last in seniority in my department I would most likely get nights anyway). As a result, I am status 4 and have to work part time though I technically given my now open availability in the eschedule should be status 3.... Can someone help me in explaining why I am not status 3? A few other people had this happen to them and co-managers and department heads went into KRONOS and put them in as status 3 but not myself..... Is this a grievance issue?
Well if you were working full-time hours for long enough based upon your contract, you would technically be classified as full-time regardless of any classification they set. I would talk to your administrative person in store and clarify where you sit and if they tell you you're part-time now, go to the union. It sounds like they are basically taking away your full-time status without cause. However, I have no idea what status 3 or status 4 means, but that is the way I understand what you're saying.
My department told me here husband who has been with Kroger for 40 years and has been full time a vast majority of those years keeps getting scheduled 24 hours a week since his store went to the e-schedule system. Every week someone has to change it, and he's a damned department head at his store.

It doesn't sound like he's categorized in the e-schedule system right. You can assign them as managers, etc and they move right to the top of the line in the seniority queue.
