Grad Program – for Training purposes. The Grad Program is implemented solely for training purposes, in order to provide future managers with a better understanding of the job that each and every colleague in the store is called upon to perform. As such, the Grads will job shadow through their program while working on the sales floor. For training purposes, a Grad may infrequently work alone on the sales floor. In such a case, it is understood that the duration of the work would not exceed two (2) hours in any given shift and would not cause the cancellation of scheduled hours. Prior to placing a Grad in any store, the Company agrees to provide the union with the name, the duration of placement and the location of placement of the Grad. The Company agrees that the Grads’ hours are separate and over and above from the store departments’ allotment of scheduled hours. The Company further agrees to post the Grads’ schedule, that there will be no more than three

The Company further agrees to post the Grads' schedule, that there will be no more than three (3) Grads per store (inclusive of destination rotation grad), at any point in time, and that their placement at the store will not exceed six (6) months duration not including the Destination Department rotation. The Destination rotation will prepare the grad to be "job ready" for the role of Assistant Store Manager. The destination rotation will not exceed ten (10) months. If a scheduled employee calls in sick within a department where a Grad is scheduled to be trained and it is determined that the hours will not be replaced, the Grad will be moved to another department for that shift(s). Any concerns about the operation of the Grad Program may be brought to the attention of senior management, and a meeting will be convened to discuss them.
