Sainsburys thread MK III

If we were due to work Easter Sunday but our store was closed, do we still get paid? My wages this month aren't quite right :/

If you are contracted to work Sundays, yes you will get paid but only the basic pay. If you are entitled to anything such as Sunday Premiums, you would have had to put a days holiday in to receive those.

Okay so it was my first day today! Checkout training wasn't so bad and the customers were patient, it was just remembering what buttons to press and when but I have a question! Tomorrow, I'm unsure who I go to when I clock in? Do I just pick a till or am I allocated one? I start work at 12 noon and I'm a customer service assistant, pushing the trollies in the car park, but my TL said I'd mostly be on checkouts this week as everyone needs to built up their skills in checkouts. We're training in another store to the one we applied for as it's not yet built as I explained in the pervious post, I'm just curious to how I know what I'm doing tomorrow as we havent been told really.

I'm really starting to like this forum/thread, everyones so helpful ! Anyway!! If you know or have nay suggestions, please be my guest and point me in the right direction I don't want to be a useless newbie (as much as I feel like I am at the moment :P) ahha!

Definitely don't just choose a till, go to whoever the checkout supervisor/captain is and I think they'll assign you to a till. Checkouts isn't too bad once you get the hang of it, just kinda boring.

And yep, this thread is awesome, whenever you need help someone has the answer for you.

On that note though, I'm leaving Sainsbury's, gave my notice in last week, finally going travelling, although I'm hoping to be able to return over the summer, and possibly get a transfer closer to home/uni.

Travelling?! Wow what an adventure! I'd love to do that :-) I wish I could get one closer to my uni but I think I might stay a bit before I begin thinking about transfers and get my roots grounded first :-)

Hmm, Is the person with the headset do you reckon the person I'd go to? Just I remember the person that trained us (our team leader) mentioning that its his day off tomorrow!

Thanks for your super fast reply too! I was fretting everyone would be like oh man what a dumb questions! Lmao!

Haha nope I remember when I started I had no idea what was going on. I'm not too sure, my store is really small so there's no runners or whatever with headsets etc. You could just ask one of those headset guys and I'm sure they'd direct you to the person to go to.

Yeah, I'm on a gap year before uni, and I finally got my act together to sort out my travelling plans, going to Croatia and then Slovenia and Bosnia for a bit, can't wait!

Good luck!

hi everyone
can someone tell me how old do you have to be to work at sainsburys?

Got a p60 today showing how much tax i've got back but the money doesn't seem to have gone into my account ? Should i just speak to HR about it ?

Just got my first pay with emergency tax of about £128 (I earn under the thingy so I shouldn't be taxed), will I need to take any action with the tax office or HR? Or will I get paid the amount automatically later after the tax year?

Cheers

Anyone else think Sainsburys should get some music playing throughout the store like at Christmas, as long as there is enough songs that they don't repeat!?
