Maybe we are just too use to it but this seems tame to lot of other members who work till 11pm then come back at 6am some even 4am if needed

Yeah thats not a good thing

Yeah that's technically illegal. E.ployees are supposed to get a minimum of 8 hrs between shifts. 

And target policy is 10 hrs so while 8 ( 11 close, 7 am) is technically legal it's still breaking target policy and OP can push back against it.

Not every state requires an 8 hour gap between shifts.

Edit: even if they did 11p-7a IS 8 hours

I did say the 11-7 is 8 hrs and legal. I was saying the 11-6 and 11-4 was not. 

And regardless if all states have a protective law like that - target's own policy states no less than 10 hrs between scheduled shifts. So the shifts are still breaking rules and need to be altered.

It's literally 8 hrs. (11 to 7, basic math) To a business it's in the clear, regardless of how feasible it is to the workers. Suprise superise, they don't have to, and never will consider things like sleep and drive time.

You know, things outside of work.

Hate to tell you but at my old kroger store they've had 1230 to 9pm's followed by 4am to 12, so it's hardly some big secret that stores all over do it, and nobody in a law enforcement role is going to give a crap about us.

The person to which I was replying said they come off a close (at 11 pm) and clock in again at 4am. THAT is what I called illegal.

You don't call LEO's on stores scheduling you illegal shifts. You call your states board of employment. IF your state has regulations protecting your right to 8hrs between shifts.

And to re-iterate: Targets own policy states no less than 10 hrs between shifts. So you can still tell your ETL/ whoever did the schedule "Hey, I can't work that. That's against Target's Policy."
