The Tesco thread.

Sunday is Time and a Half and Night premium is £1.47 I think. It's not as much as time and a half for sure.

Thanks! Just have to wait just under 2 years then...

Until then my tip is to try and get any kind of experience you can put on a CV. Become a prefect, peer mentor whatever roles your school offers and/or try volunteering and/or join a club inside or outside school. Something that you can use to prove you are committed, reliable, self-motivated, dependable and other skills employers want It also gives you something to talk about in an interview (unlike most 16-18 year olds)

I'm contracted to work on Sunday, but I'm wondering if I will get paid time and a half or just my normal salary?

Does anyone know what happens if we leave the company but still have holidays that we haven't used up? Do we get paid for any holidays we haven't taken or do we lose them?

As far as I'm aware the Sunday/Bank Holiday rate has went down to Time and a quarter for new employees.

I joined in August and people told me I was on time and a quarter, but I get time and a half, so think I may have been just before the cut off date. Unless it's still time and a half and everyone just made stuff up about time and a quarter haha.

I know it's all calculated on the tills, but what happens if you give someone to much change or to little change?

I work at an Express so not sure if it different at superstores or extra stores or other stores throughout the country but our manager comes round occasionally and does till counts. If the till is £5 over or below expected you have to fill out a short form with stuff like did you leave the till unattended or did you forget to put a scratch card through the till blah blah and that's it. They only go any further if it is a regular occurrence or if it is WAY under what it should be.

Mistakes happen.

Thanks lol, I work in an Express store I was worried that I was going to get fired because they thought I stole it.

I started work at around April, just wondering if anyone knows when I will get paid? It's probably next month but just checking. (wud ask my manager but hes not in that much)

I'm starting work soon at a Tesco Express. I've been told I'll sort out my Uniform then etc, as i'm in an express store will I be able to choose a polo shirt or will I have to wear a smart shirt?

I'm overweight (not super huge or anything) and i'm not comfortable with a tucked in buttoned up shirt, If i have to i'll wear it of course, I'm just hoping i'll be able to choose a polo shirt.

You can choose your uniform from polo shirts and smart shirts, you also pick smart or casual trousers and red or blue fleece I believe (could be more options). Also Tesco have recently implemented an online uniform ordering service if you ever need any extra uniform/unhappy with your uniform. (I work in an express too)

Hope this helps

Ok thanks a lot! As you work in an express too, mind if I ask a couple of questions?

1. The official job title is Customer Assistant, as it's a small store, I assume my day to day roles will vary? I'm guessing i'll be moved to different jobs depending on what's needed such as checkout, stocking shelves etc?

2. What should I do with my phone/wallet? Should I leave it in my car? Can i keep it on me? Or is there usually somewhere safe to store it inside the building?

Thanks again!
