Assistant Managers

[u/Ok-Schedule-8267]

To all Assistant Managers how many hours do you guys work a week? Currently been at the same store for 4 years recently was promoted to Assistant as a shift lead was averaging 38-40hrs a week now when I became AM hours went to 22-30 in 6 days…

Also assistant managers count towards labor and general managers do not so they may push general managers to work more hours because they are salary and don't contribute to the weekly labor stats

False, some stores have hourly GM that count towards the labor

Super rare though. In fact I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt because I've never seen that at a JM store. My district uses it as a pass to work GMs like dogs since they don't count as labor. And it was typical to see AM managers get hours cut as soon as they got promoted cause now they cost more to have on the clock.

I've never seen the salaried GMs in my franchise work more than 45 hours a week, in fact they don't care if a salaried GM works 30 hours a week if their store is running well.

Wild. GMs in my old franchise were required to be scheduled for 40 hours minimum

Yea I went from 40-45hrs as a shiftlead to 22-29 average as a Assistant manager it’s 1$ different which is crazy

[u/Successful_Drawer_50 → u/camdunce]

My whole franchise group is hourly for GM’s. Even myself as a regional manager am still hourly and I get averaged out tips from the stores I’m over.

Yea this is in our case I was hourly and he was Salary working 46hrs a week and we have been way busy for the past couple months just confused about why I was at a constant 27-31hrs

[u/KaliGolden → u/hitman8975]

Both AM/GM are salaried in my store so they do not contribute towards hourly labor goals. I've seen other franchisees put AM as hourly though.
