Target implements strict attendance policy with points system, termination risk

Target is implementing a new points-based attendance system for its store and warehouse employees starting in September. This policy will track unexcused lateness and absences, with escalating consequences for accumulating points, culminating in termination if an employee reaches 12 points. The initiative, led by new CEO Michael Fiddelke, aims to improve store operations and enhance the customer experience amidst recent lackluster sales. This move follows similar attendance tracking policies introduced by other major retailers like Walmart and Amazon. AI
