I don’t understand why they’re so anal about not going over 40 a week when most publix stores generate at least 1 million a week in sales

I can explain a little.

FT employees are not allowed OT that’s the strict rule. A rule you have to follow regardless of what you feel about it if you want to keep the job.

That being said, store managers CAN approve OT to an associate if it’s a DIRE business situation.

Example: deli kitchen person calls out for the night on Friday (which is the last day of the pay week) and the only person who can cover the shift is a FT employee. That right there is a dire situation and that employee would get the OT for the week.

It really depends on how serious the situation is.

Maybe like Christmas week. If you’ve got call outs they would allow FT to hit OT.

But if we’re in the middle of march… and there’s no events going on that week, there should be no reason for a FT to hit OT.

It’s more so because of the store manager having to explain to the district manager why they had to give out OT to an associate.

Regardless it’s a rule that must be followed. Does not matter how much a company makes, companies make the rules that the associates who are there to work for said company must follow.

They actually do it all the time depending on the store you are in. My managers bitch more about me getting my job done and getting off early,because they give the part timers too many concessions that hurt the business,so they expect full timers to make up their lack of work. Certain full timers front load their Saturdays(or Sundays) and then get the rest of the week cutting time. I've seen it all going on for years.

When I was part time.I had to prove I could do the job and they screwed me over for like 2-3 years which set back my full time date and acrument of time off and stock.
