Where can I find out how much vacation time I have left beside UKG

Why don’t SELs get bonuses anymore? Honestly, I think it’s really unfair. They’re expected to make sure all of the groomers are doing their jobs, policies and procedures are being followed, the animals are safe, the groomers are safe, and customers are being taken care of. They’re also responsible for making sure everyone is trained properly, helping new hires, preparing people for Academy, and making sure they’re properly trained when they come back.
On top of all of that, still have to groom their own dogs, deal with the stress of running the salon, and make sure morale stays good and everyone is happy and supported.
And please don’t tell me that the commission was changed to 60% as if that makes up for it, because honestly, that’s BS!! Professional groomers are making 55%, so SELs are only making 5% more while taking on significantly more responsibility and stress. How is that supposed to be fair? If SELs are expected to lead, train, coach, keep everyone accountable, protect the safety of the pets and employees, handle customer issues, and still maintain their own grooming productivity, there should be additional compensation that actually reflects the amount of responsibility being placed on us. Five percent more commission does not feel like adequate compensation for everything an SEL is expected to do. It honestly feels disrespectful to the people taking on that extra responsibility.

Okay, so I have a quick question. I know someone who recently went through Academy, and once they reached 100 dogs, they were no longer paired directly with the SEL. Instead, they were paired with experienced groomers for the remainder of their training, although the SEL was still assisting them whenever they’re on the clock.
My question is: does an Academy student have to reach 200 or 250 dogs before they are no longer required to work under the SEL or an experienced groomer and are able to groom completely on their own and have their own schedule? They have also already taken their test with the District Trainer and passed it, and that test was completed before they reached 200 dogs.

What Month do they put out the blackout dates for November and December?

What is this project MAX??

Are SEL about to lose there jobs or be in a different position? Or are salons just going to run without a leader?

The Annual AEP Survey… Is it really confidential or anonymous? 🤞🏽 Or do our Store Leaders receive our individual responses and see exactly who wrote what?

So I know full-time employees get 80 hours of vacation time, but when do you start getting more? Like how long do you have to be there before you’re eligible for additional vacation time?

So I work for petsmart and we have a co-worker who comes in rude, disrespectful, you can’t say anything to them without them being dismissive or have any attitude or snarky tone. Yet when I ask why they haven’t fired them yet they say that have to go by Arizona state law when letting someone go?

So we have to report are tips everyday

Does this mean they are going to tax the tips?

Are they going to cut commission depending on how much tips you make each week?

By us reporting our tips does this mean are checks are going to be smaller or fluctuate each week?

Is like they want us to stay broke or struggle so they can control us and keep up in proverty
