The end of this fiscal year? As in, September 30?
From what I hear it will be the MST and department supervisors who will be the sole PE operators in the store, all are going to be required to be certified on every piece of equipment. Training is being developed for the store leadership team so they stay legal with regards to contract workers and will be available and assigned the week of the transition. Currently it looks like around 5 hours of computer based followed by store leadership meeting mostly reviewing and clarifying roles and responsibilities ETC.
