Transfer from one Target store to another?

Question

I have been working at Target for about two months now, and my 90 day probation is going to end on September 13. I would just like to know, if anyones knows if I can transfer from one Target store to another right after my 90 day probation ends. Also, does anyone know if my pay will be the same. I work overnight at Target and my pay is $9.75 an hour. I am planning to keep the same job position until January. So if anyone, especially other Target team members, knows anything about this, please let me know. Thank You.

After you reach your 90 day mark you are eligible for a transfer provided a couple things:

First there has to be a position open at the new store you are wanting to transfer to and you have to be trained in that position.  Meaning they typically don't let a cashier transfer to work at the photo lab in another store f they aren't already trained at the photo lab.  Honestly though its all based on need so sometimes they'll let you shift positions a little.

Second your store has to support your transfer.  Meaning they aren't going to send someone who isn't a good worker off to another store.  It is usually a rare occurance that this happens because if you really aren't a good worker they fire you.  Basically if you have had any coachings or corrective action against you they may not let you transfer.  If you haven't then you shouldn't have to worry about this aspect.

As far as I know you'll keep your pay as is or possibly have an increase in pay if the wages at the store you are transferring to are higher.  The wages are all based off the cost of living so if you're moving to a bigger city its possible you'll see an increase.  The keeping your pay rule has changed a couple of times over the years but last time I checked you still get to keep your pay.

The best thing to do is talk to your ETL-HR about wanting to transfer and they will fill you in on how and if you can do it.
