I cannot stress this enough but check your flippen time punches. ESPECIALLY if you had to write it in one day because you forgot or whatever. I have had my time punches "missed" multiple times even if I had them written in the book. if you do not know how to look at your time punches PLEASE have someone check. Also if you work at a store where the manager won't let you use your sick hours to supplement loss of store hours...that is complete bullshit. I am a partner who never uses sick time or calls out and I had racked up quite a bit of sick time. my manager told me I couldn't use them (even though my hours got cut by 12+ hours.) call your flippen DM if you are struggling and get that coin! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. if you think something is wrong call partner resources or give your lovely DM ( who makes a pretty penny) a call & lay it down on them. we are in a fucking pandemic, STILL WORKING & struggling to pay bills.
