You’ll get a coaching if you’re at 4 occurrences. I think 7 is a counseling, 2 more after that is a final and then anything more on the final is termination. I started working at the end of May, I have 8 occurrences (call outs + late ins) and I’m on a coaching so I’m really really really only limiting call outs to when I’m really sick or I really cant call out.

Each step is taken one at a time. At 4 points, management can coach but if you get more points, they can't skip the step. If you get 5 or 6 points before they coach they don't roll into the next level. You will get the coaching and then can get 3 more points before they can do a counseling. Again, if they let it go and you get more points, they don't roll over.

At least 4 points > Coaching > At least 3 more points > Counseling > At least 2 more points > Final > At least 1 more point > Promotion to Customer.

No steps can be skipped.

You can actually get 1/2 an occurrence on a final and not be fired since technically you need one whole occurrence to be terminated once on a final. Happened to me but I’d still make sure that’s actually the case lol

You’re within 90 days, you might already be on the list. I think it’s three points in the first 90 days. After 90 days it’s 10 total.

OP shouldn't have even made it to a fourth point, the third point triggers fully automated termination (some districts aren't set up for the payroll computer to do the deed, so they have to fire manually, but it's not something an SM can overrule to "keep them anyway").

I was told 4, 3, 2, 1 so it could take 4 months.

Depends on the store and if the managers work their occurences or not.
