I am a Family Dollar employee, Manager at that. I am out on a work related injury. Our mandatory hours are 52 per week. There is actually a template that should be followed. On this templates it has a work schedule for every employee in the store. All we should do is fill in a name. We are only suppose to have one day off a week. Some District Managers will allow their Managers to take 2 days off if they work their 52 hours in 5 days. When I first started my only day off was Mondays I worked 3 open to closes and 60-80 hour weeks. This was because I ran the store with only three people. It was not until I had come back from maternity leave that I had found out one of the managers at a neighboring store, who had been with the store for 5 months had not worked a weekend since she started. This to me was unfair, not only to other managers but to her assistant. I had been employed by them for almost a year at this time. The District manager will most likely not do a thing. If they loose a Manager and one that they fell is good, would to the not only hurt the store but then they might be stuck running the store until a Manager is found. Corporate will not do anything as well. This company has given me such stress but I refuse to give up. If you are willing to fight a battle to do whats right, Then do it and GOOD LUCK. Many people just don't bother and that's why this company does not care about the people on the bottom.
