Hi! I was just wondering what a normal bonus/raise was each year at CVS. I began at CVS in June of 2016 and received a bonus but no raise. Is this normal? I have read on other threads that pharmacists usually received a raise. I am at a difficult store. We have just moved from being a challenge store and our numbers aren't great, but we have had a lot of turnover in staff over the last few months and gained inexperienced technicians.

Doesn't sound like news. When you pay your techs $12/hr, what do you expect them to do? You will always have inexperience techs with CVS.

$12? I was getting 8 when I started lol
 
Hi Guys,
I have a question to all of you who received a raise this year. Did your store meet every target? I'm meeting tomorrow with my manager and rx supervisor to reevaluate my evaluation. The only target my store hasn't met is MSH with 2.8. Overall the store is good. 3000rx per week, great we care and mce, scripts vs budget etc. Do you need to meet every single target to get a raise?

What do you mean.

There are supposed to be Four Levels
  • OP: Outstanding Performer (Nobody is allowed to get this)
  • EE: Exceeds Expectations (Only a PIC can get this)
  • ME: Meets Expectations (This is what the majority of people get)
  • NI: Needs improvement (Don't get this)
Two NI reviews in a row and your gone.

The Pharmacy supervisor is given a bonus pool of money to divvy up between all of the pharmacists. In our magical scenario he has 10 pharmacists. averaging $60.00 per hour and 40 hours per week. With a total pool of let's say 2% he has $24,960.00 to play with. He can parcel that out anyway he sees fit. He can give pharmacist A 3% and pharmacist B 1%.

Does the Sup have anything to do with Bonus? I thought this was calculated out based on MSH?

Bonus was bad choice of words. It's the pool of money for increases. The bonus is seperate
 
needs improvement. goal is 3.0 and higher. how can you be a good store with 2.8 out of 5 rating?
Numbers don't lie.

Um at a 2.8 MSH you would probably be around 70% in the chain so just because 3 is in the middle of the scoring system does not mean it is the middle of the achieved scores.

With MCP out now 2.8 sounds really bad. I'm hitting 4.2 for the year now at a 3000/week store. They've made it pretty easy to achieve this year. Previously not so much.

Teach me your way please. My store does 3k/week too, only got 3.4 YTD so far.
 
3000/ week sold or filled?
FYI: check your script count (how many scripts were sold or picked up) by using Radar--->KMI --->Daily Sales on Sunday.
Sold, its roughly around 28-3100 depending on the week. As far as filling i'm guessing around 3300ish with RTS's.

IE should be the easiest. Its free 5 on the score card. Get together with ur inventory specialist and make them own the metric. Strongpak needs to be done every Saturday, no bypassing at production and make sure genco returns are done properly.
Adjusted scripts and PCQ work hand in hand, at least to me they do. Get people back on therapy and to pick up meds = increase in scripts. Have meds ready so people pick it up instead of coming, nothings read, then you get it ready but then they forget to come back or could care less.

Service, let your staff know address everyone by name and acknowledge immediately. Scan the extra care card and let patients know we appreciate 5's if the service was good. None of the other numbers matter lol either 1 or 5.

Wecare- just make sure everyones following procedures.

They made this thing a lot easier. Take advantage of it guys. I'm hoping it leads to a big bonus. This is the highest volume store that i've been at so far. We hit a 4.9 for month of April today!
