Attendance Policy Question

If I get 3 unexcused absences in a row, it’s only 1 attendance point ? Could I use my sick time on day #4 ?

Basically, I need 4 days off, and I only have enough sick time to cover one whole shift. For the other 3, I can take the risk of having one point added to my attendance. I just want to make sure that the 3 consecutive days will be marked as only one point. And my other question is Would it be better to use my sick time on the first or last day ?

Wow.

I was told I couldn’t go to the Uncle’s funeral bc he doesn’t count as immediate family. And no, I have no extra sick time to use.

After what I’ve been through, I’d think they’d be a little bit more understanding.

SOP

I have a question for my fellow HD associates. Let me give insight first. I have worked 2 yrs 4 months and I clock in at a computer terminal and nobody has said a word .. get new supervisor and he writes me up because he asked me one day what I was doing and I said clocking out , he said your not supposed to do that. I said SOP says we can and I have for 2.5 yrs and walked on. Well came in next day he and another mod called me in office and he supervisor made me log into workforce and made me submit the write up I asked what if I don't agree? They both chimed in we need you to hit submit because your were told you could not clock in at computer. I asked if I could be excused and went and printed out the SOP. I returned and asked them could they please explain to me what it says. They tried to convince me that it is referring to HD that have no time clock..huh? I said ..ok but it doesn't say that and it clearly says what it means. So how can I get a write up for clocking in on computer and I close most nights so unless I'm a complete dumb ass it states we must clock out at the closest computer terminal to exit with manager. I also don't see anything saying that it's up to managers discretion. I am in the process of getting a transfer to another city because I'm moving the last thing I need is a write up especially on this subject matter. I was told go to corporate and ask them or aware line. Any thoughts?

Bit of pride in our paint department, and our DS

I started home depot in march as a paint associate but, I have worked for the other company in the past though that is beside the point

Our team has worked hard for weeks to get topstock under control and despite being 'the second sllwest store in the district' we're consistantly #4 or #5. But since we got our new ds, and with his help, and the help of our new sasm topstock has gotten under control, inventory is far more consistent woth a lot less being misplaced. This is just one example, and it wasnt easy to achieve with constantly fighting our overnight team.the friday morning walk our SM commented that in the 2 years he's run our store paint is the best he's seen.

I for one enjoy what I do and being able to come in see a holy grab a ladder and refill without needong to hunt down 4 seperate isles for something is great.

Transferring from US to Canada

Hey, so I saw some posts concerning this but all from years ago so I wanted to get updated information. I'm considering a move to Canada (not related to election) and I'm wondering if anyone knows what the process entails transferring to a Canada home depot location. Also what kind of differences are there in the company policies? For reference I have 2yr experience in appliances and 1yr in cashier.

Question regarding orange academy?

What is a front-line worker? Cashiers n sales associates? Is MET also front line(seems so)? Others ig are backend( receiving n night). How do you apply for it coz all I see is just a banner of information n no button to apply , just random info. Part timers are also eligible?( It says all hourly associates)

Sorry, pretty new to HD so don’t know much of the lingo for these things and I am dumb as well. Thx in advance for any info though.

Transcript for Tuition reimbursement

Hi all,

The deadline to submit tuition reimbursement for 2024 is on December 10.

My school doesn't post grade on transcripts until mid of December.

What should I do? I do have every other thing and I didn't use the reimbursement in the last term.

Home Depot Accounting Internship

Hey guys! This is my first post and wanted to see if anyone has experience with the Home Depot internship. This would be my first interview EVER, if I’m being honest.

  1. What type of interview questions could I expect?
  2. What was the environment like at Home Depot?
  3. Was it remote or in-person?

Thank you!

Book and physical Report

Question? What’s the lowest amount of pages you guys have had in your BP report? We’re currently a few weeks before our inventory day and one of the things they check is their BP report out of my 2 years of working at the desk the lowest I believe we managed to drop is 60-66 pages and with a goal set up from my SM giving us of 50 pages or below it got me curious on what other stores have managed to get the pages down to and questions on how the manage a process on keeping those pages even shorter. Any feedback that you guys have does help out. PS love the group and the nice content we all can give in the group :)🫰🏽

Offered to work double shift only to find out days later that it got denied

So, a coworker pulled me aside and asked if I could cover her 4pm-9pm shift, which worked perfectly because that day I work 12-4 so an extra 4 hours would be good. I go to check my workforce and see that it hasn’t been changed after I reminded my supervisor in the group chat that I was willing to work those hours.

She goes to check the system and tells me someone already claimed it.. I’m staring at my phone, DUMBFOUNDED because wtf do you mean someone claimed it?? I specifically ASKED you to put me in? So I contacted said coworker who offered me her shift and that’s when she told me, my fucking store manager DENIED it because well “he didn’t want me to have a lunch so we just had to give it to someone else. It was his call.”

They got working 9 hours this week, 9 hours next week, 8 hours the following week and 11 hours after and I won’t even get fucking HOLIDAY pay. They’re fucking me over on money and I been with this company for over 5 years… I opened up my availability because I can’t take this crap any longer
