Union Help??? Kronos rostering - not including tea breaks
This post is for any department managers that do rostering.
Do you guys find it frustrating that the rostering system does not include tea breaks in the roster? I work in nightfill and say I have 2 hours worth of tea breaks and i’m on target hours, i’m actually down 2 hours.
The main solution to this is I miss my own break as a manager, work way harder past my pay grade and stay back late.
Or I have to roster the team shifts that are under 4 hours to avoid tea breaks overall, and i’m not a monster so why would I do that? That just increases staff turnover, lowers morale and if someone has a shift without a break they are most definitely going for a ‘bathroom’ break.
It’s a very frustrating situation especially in nightfill. This simply goes unaddressed and i’m sick and tired of it to be completely honest. The response from the store services lady when I told her about this: “you’re stuffed”. The response from grocery manager “lots of things at woolworths aren’t fair”
Realistically could the union do anything about this???
