As it stands, I am a checker/ APC (?)/ Desk op, and I work with another checker who desk ops. Recently, he felt that his hours didn't add up as far as his progress to his next "job step"/ raise, so he went through and added the paystub hours to compare to his job step hours and he thinks the time where we head clerk is not going towards our raise. As is we don't get paid more, we don't choose our schedules, and now possibly this. I haven't gone through mine yet, but I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about it? It's one thing for it not to help us to work these shifts, but if it is actively in our disinterest I don't see why we should continue.
Well it sounds like your union contract raises are done via hours worked towards the next raise. Here in the Atlanta Division, raises are determined by weeks worked towards the next raise. During those weeks it doesn't matter how many hours you worked.
I am at a non-union store; on Kroger HR, we login and it tells us how many hours we have until our next raise. From there, I can check the paystubs going back to the last raise and add the hours worked and compare them to the hours the main page says have been applied towards the next pay step
