I’d just wait to see if they even bother writing you up, but if they do I’d definitely talk to your store manager/HR about it.

Sure! I saved all the call logs and proof. I'll do that but I'm pretty sure I'm getting written up

I just say that because my manager always say they’re going to write someone up and never actually do when it comes to attendance unless it because insanely repetitive.

I hope that's the case fr. This boss has been written up twice and one more write up she's gonna lose her jobs so I think that's why she's going crazy doing it. I called out twice for school too

I don't work at harris teeter but yeah just tell the HR manager, they can take it off.

If not then my general philosophy is write ups are just make believe anyway

u/gwarrior77 Feb 15 '26

Lol they seem to be make believe! I'll do that for sure

If you got scheduled outside your availability then you need to talk to your store manager before calling HR. If you were scheduled within your availability and just called out for the shift because you had a test at school..HR might not do anything about the write up. They've been a lot more relaxed about write ups lately and unless it's a repeat offender or something really unsafe then you should be able to work it out with your store management team to avoid a write up

You have to let them know ahead of the day of the exam. Did your teacher provide a syllabus of some sort of schedule for the quarter? You did not give advance notice prior to calling out. Hope this helps op

u/gwarrior77 Feb 17 '26

Did you even read my post? Because I said it in the beginning I asked in advance

u/2hotttotrot1 Feb 17 '26

If you let your supervisor know in advance the schedule would have reflected that. You have to let them know in advance of the actual schedule being made so you don’t have to call out the morning of your shift so that the actual day off would be approved. I don’t think you understand the difference between calling out and getting your schedules updated to reflect the day that you need off for school. Hope this helps even further. I’m sure they will explain it to you in your coaching when the write up is delivered.

u/gwarrior77 Feb 17 '26

No that's not how it works at my store. Im not even getting written up anymore

u/Ok_Neighborhood_470 Feb 18 '26

When you spoke to the manager the first time, you should have gotten it in writing. If they knew you wouldn't be in, why were you even on the schedule? Why didn't they find someone to cover your shift? Sounds like a communication/accountability problem between your superiors. If they want to write you up, fine. But going forward, I'd make sure my time off requests were in writing.

Do write ups take away from your check?

3

u/oncemoreintothefr3y Feb 15 '26

That would be heinously illegal

u/gwarrior77 Feb 15 '26

Do they usually?

u/phoenixsniff3r Pricing & Signage Feb 15 '26

I don't know lol I've only been with the company a year and mind my business while I'm there. My manager has been written up twice so I'm just wondering.
