How does calling off work? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by PointEither2673
I’ve been working there for about two months and I called off for the first time today. It was 2 hours before my shift so that’s good but how else does this work? Is there a point system or when do they start considering it a problem?

The full policy should be in the Partner Guide which you can find on the Partner Hub

One thing I will say is that if you are sick, you are not responsible for finding coverage, just call the store, let them know you're sick, and that you can't work

Usually it's a combination of pattern-making (they always call off on Saturdays, or every third Wednesday, etc), problem-making (bosses are sometimes more lenient if your calling out doesn't impact things much), and their opinion of you in general.

At least at my store.

Your manager will only start paying attention if it becomes a trend. Don’t feel bad for taking time off for being sick or dealing with a family emergency

No point system. Just call the store.

I was not, I did have a family emergency though and I let that be known
