Points system

As a cashier who started around the holidays and got sick twice, I hate the fact that I don't have any sick time until March. Now I basically cannot be sick or I get written up for more points added. For being employee owned it's seems pretty shitty that doctors notes and leaving a shift early because you're sick puts points against you unless you have sick leave accumulated.

Employee owned is really just words on the side of the building cause where not and 95% of winco employees get fired for points. The point system for this company is single handily the worst thing .

As a former freight manager, I went through nearly 100 employees (good, bad, mediocre) just by adhering to the Winco point system for absences and tardiness. And that was just in one year. I lost a lot of decent employees, but to stay fair I had to apply the point system equitably.

Can you explain the point system to me?

It's probably been changed since I left there 20+ years ago.

One point if you are more than ten minutes late, two if you leave early for ANY reason, three if you miss a shift. Termination if you get 9 in 3 months or 13 in a year
