Store Transfers: Fill out a form. Dept manager must provide a reference for you - this takes ages. Once thats done, its forwarded to HR - also takes ages. They try to find a store for you - also takes ages.

Moral of the story - whole process takes ages.

I can vouch for that. Applied in May for a July transfer. Went alright until it was sent to HR. Didn't hear anything until August, where I had a letter of rejection dated in July. By the middle of July I didnt care anymore as it was only 2.5km difference.

Complicated process 0_o...At the beginning of the year I went to my Store Manager "Hey can you transfer me to xx store, I'm moving"

Within 2 weeks I was trasnferred.

I transfered when I left for Uni. I didn't have to fill anything out and now I transfer back and forwards between both stores. Much simpler with the big city store. I just ring them, tell them when I'm available and its down. Urgh last chrissy though it took my small town store 6 WEEKS to get me back in the system. They kept telling me they hadn't recieved any paper work. They didnt need any and everything was sorted on the other end. I am more than ready to quit but I have to organise my transfer back to that little crap hole for the summer hols and I havent been able to find an alternate job.

But yeah, talk to your store manager. They can set you up.

Hey guys,

Just a quick question in regards to my previous problem (writing the wrong hours on my sign in sheet). My department manager said on Thursday she'd deal with it today, and I still haven't gotten payed, so I'm wondering if the overdue pay will come on my next pay day (aka Wednesday). Can the pay me given to my on another day if theres a problem like in this case, or is it just rounded to the folllowing week's pay?

It didnt take me very long. My first transfer took about a month, but when I wanted to get transferred back it took 2-3 week. Although they were a bit pissed off that I wanted another transfer within 3 months, back to the same store. Lol.

Moral of the story - the story isn't accurate.

First time i transferred, the STM had me a new position the day after I filled out the form, it didn't even get to HR.

Second time, like two weeks ago, form filled in, appraisal only took CSM like a day, and faxed off the next day.

Very speedy.

there used to be a way to manually type in the card number for credit cards that were damaged, however, we are no longer able to do this as people (customers) were rorting the system (by pretending to swipe their card, but actually enter in a CC number of a stolen card). this is why we now have to make sure card numbers match and there isnt a K.

A damaged card could be processed via manual EFT, but we arent supposed to do it for damaged cards, if the card is damaged you should direct the customer to their financial institution for a replacement.
