Induction Day at Next?!

I have my first day soon and have no idea where to go?! am so nervous! dont know how to "clock" in etc

hey, i applied for a job at next and got a call a couple of days ago saying that they'd taken their longer term temps on, but were looking for people just for the sales on the 27th and 28th and if i'd be interested. i said i would be and she took my number and said she'd give me a call next week about it. do you still have to go through the interview stage and stuff just for sales temp work or will she just basically say come in for an induction- i'm guessing it's just tidying the store anyways so there won't be much to learn for those shifts?

Hey, I'm also starting at Next, as a Christmas Sales Temp, in a couple of days. I know I'm going to be till trained on that first day. But as I'm a new start, should I use the staff entrance or the main entrance? Should I put my stuff in the staff room before I let them know I'm there to be trained? I'm seriously stressing about this even though I know its silly :/ and in general, how do I know what job I'm meant to be doing, like on till or front cover etc?

Thank you

Right... I know they mentioned that there was some kind of rota, but I was never shown it or where it would be. Which is why I'm having a mini-panic now :/

As an Xmas temp. I'm only contracted about 4 hours over 2 weeks, but they want me to take overtime. I'm just wondering how I go about that? I was never told about shifts. Any help is much appreciated

Okay, thanks so much for your help.

Clocking in can be done on any till point, right?

heyy...im starting at next for the christmas temp job..we were told on induction that were have to wear the t-shirts that they would give us on christmas eve... but im not working that day...do u think i should ring n ask???

I have just received a call from Next asking me if I am available to work during the next few weeks im not sure if it is temp or perma, they skipped asking me for interview and said I need to come on Thursday for inductions day. Now this if my first job ever, I don''t know what role im offered, and I have no experience and I am real nervous now. Anybody know what it is like on induction day, and whether I will do some work on that day. Also what should I wear on the induction day. Damn Im so nervous! I need to take a deep breath in and out. Any advice is appreciated guys and gals, thanks.

ok, totally confused here. i'm a sales temp and went for my induction, filled out my personal info, bank details etc, had the health and safety/sale dvds and a tour of the store and we were told to sign in and out in a book (so that they know who is in the building for safety), but nothing about signing in on the tills or anything. also i haven't been given a payroll number, so don't think i could clock in even if someone showed me how?

but i got called to go in for 3 hrs today to sort out stock ready for the sale. went in and signed in the book, but now i'm thinking even if i'm just doing 2 days work, surely i should be clocking in somewhere official, they're not going to look at that book to sort my wages out. am i wrong in thinking this or should i be asking for info for clocking in, or isn't that for the staff that are just there for a couple of days? not worried about getting paid once it's sorted as the signing in book shows i was there, but i'm wondering whether i'm meant to be? plus the other people on my induction were friends/family so had people they knew as members of staff to tell them if they had to, i was the only one who didn't, so maybe it slipped the manager's mind to show me how to clock in?

You're right that the amount of time you're working for them won't matter, because there were people at the store I work in this evening who were working only tonight and sale day, and they clocked in. Does your store definitely use the clocking in 'time and attendance' system on the tills? I got the impression that not every store uses it, though I might be mistaken. I wasn't shown by my manager either, but she did give me my payroll number, and I was shown by some other workers when I started. So for no one to have mentioned it is odd. You're right about the book though, its not really taken seriously at my store. There wasn't even a pen today.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help... if no one on here comes up with a better answer, ask your manager as soon as you can

yeah, thanks, i'm going to ask before i start on monday, i'll have no chance of asking once the sale gets underway, guessing it will be a bit hectic! i'm not sure if they definitely use the system but it's worth checking with them, don't want to wait until i find that my payslip doesn't exist lol!

Yeah, either ask on Monday or maybe ring up early the next day? It's a perfectly valid question to ask and that way you'll know for certain if anything needs sorting out hope everything works out for you.

sorted! sale was manic but got my number to clock in on the tills today :-) i've still got to ring them though because i didn't have it for my last shift so need to make sure that those hours are counted.
