Maintaining status at CVS

I was hired to work at CVS during the summer and have been working there but then in the fall I start school. I heard there is a minimum amount of hours I have to week every week to maintain my status as an employee so that I won't be terminated. Does anyone know if this is true?

No. I think you only have to work once a month to stay on their payroll. You have to work so many hours for benefits, vacation time, etc...

I think it's once or twice a month. I know plenty that work only twice a month just to retain their status. If you do have to leave for any reason though, be sure they put you on a "school leave" so that when you come back you don't have to train all over again.

its one shift a month.

Do the requirements vary by state? I live in New York.

How about you contact CVS's human resourses department or ask your store manager.

Four hours per month.

One shift per month. If you are going to school out of state, you can apply for a leave of absence and your status will be held until you return next summer.

I've heard once every 5 weeks. Your store manager can actually give you a specific date that you will "fall out of the computer as an active employee."

If you take a leave of absence, known as a "return to school leave," you will have to technically be re-hired when you want to start working again which can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks. (I just got paid for the 4th of July)
