Reaktion von InMotion Entertainment
9yWe are sorry to learn that you are unhappy with how we choose to follow the new FLSA laws. When faced with this decision, our number one goal from the start was minimal impact. As a result, benefits, PTO, expectations, and gross pay were not impacted by the change.
Following our regional breakouts where the new salary to hourly was discussed, we sent out a memo detailing the information with extensive examples and calculations attached. Through these examples we were as transparent as possible. Prior to the change, our Store Managers were expected to physically work 42.5 hours a week. That expectation remains. Prior to the change, Store Managers received a weekly salary for those anticipated hours of work. That gross weekly salary remains the same assuming that 42.5 hours are worked. Yes, if a Store Manager works less than the anticipated 42.5 hours they will receive less gross wage for that check. The opposite is also true, if a Store Manager works more than the anticipated 42.5 they will receive a higher gross wage for that check.
As expected when any change is implemented, there are a select few managers who are not pleased with going hourly and the new hourly rate. Due to the pending change in law, we must make this change. The majority of our Store Managers are unphased as they, as anticipated, have not noticed a difference. Further, they are pleased with the additional funds received when they work more than their anticipated 42.5 hours.
Again, this is a change that had to be made in order to follow the pending change in law. We do believe that our goal of minimal impact for the impacted Store Managers was achieved. We are sorry to learn that you are personally unhappy. We do value every member of our team, no matter what their title is. Each member is a vital part in keeping InMotion Entertainment successful. It is for this reason that we try to offer additional benefits outside of our base pay such as incentive/bonus programs, contests, free products, trips, etc. Please feel free to contact your Regional Manager or HR Generalist to discuss further.
