Termination due to associate discount


Question Posted Thursday July 30 2009, 1:04 pm

I work at a department part time over the summer and winter breaks when I am not in school. The associate discount is 25% after being there for 1+ year and 20% for <1 year. I am considered to be there for over a year and should recieve my 25% discount, however when I came back this summer my discount was inactive. I had a fellow associate purchase items about 3 times.Yesterday I got called by my manager to come to her office where Loss Prevention was also in attendance. They talked about the guidelines of the associate discount. They had caught me using her discount. I think they thought that I wanted the extra percentage but really I just wanted my discount (25%) and forgot to talk to Human Resources about reactivating it. I am suspended until they speak with Corporate Human Resources about it. My manager told me most likely it will just be documented and we'll have a meeting but i am really nervous. Do you think I will be terminated or just have corrective action taken?

Probably it will just be disciplinary. If you explain your situation (politely and calmly, apologizing) and they back it up with Corporate, they'll probably just document it. Stores have to be pretty "legal" with that kind of stuff. But it costs more to replace a worker than what they "lost" by you borrowing a discount. Don't stress too much over it. You'll be fine.
