The Working At Asda Thread

It went well . I've been invited to a 6hr welcome day on Saturday .

Welcome to Asda !

Ta. Any words of advice or stuff I should read?

Be prepared for the worst 6 hours ever, so boring! just keep in mind you are being paid for being there.

I thought it might be a bit boring . At least the other new starters were interesting so I'll have someone to talk to.

Do you know if they pay 19 yos the 18-21 minimum? From what I've ready online, they pay everyone 6 pounds something an hr.

Nah, you have to be quiet the whole time as you are watching videos, seriously it was hell.

£5.53 (or somthing) for the first 6 weeks then 6.66 afterwards is what I am on.

Ah okay.
Did you have a birthday change or is that a standard pay-rise?

I hope they have my size in uniform. I'm large .

Don't know where you work but I'm on 7.00 an hour ? I thought they paid that over all areas

really?!? Home Shopping...

Just to clear up pay queries, it varies around the country (i.e. London pays more).

You'll get something like £6.70 an hour beforehand and then it moves up to £6.89 after 6 months. By then we'll have it raised to about £7 anyway.

Some jobs within the store pays more as well (i.e. pharmacy, nights).

Hi Guys,

I have worked at Asda throughout my time at university and came back in the summer. This summer however I have rang up and the new section leader has told me they are not allowed to use seasonal colleagues outside the 6 weeks holidays for schools.

This seems incorrect as I have worked previous summers and also this doesn't allow me to fulfil my 10 weeks in my contract. Feel as though someone is lying too me and I have rang multiple managers and they keep saying their going to ring me back but I never hear back from them.

Has anyone else had this problem and/or does anyone have any advice on how I can get them to give me some hours?

Anyone else had an issue with pay this month? I got my payslip 2nd May but it's not credited my bank yet? Thanks,

Damn... How much does it cost btw.... Kicking myself for losing it...

Really like when you ask to move to another bit of a department to make it easier on both you and the SL's/manager yet get told no because you couldn't do one shift they were offering, then find out 3/4 months later that there have been 2 people shifted down from checkouts. another came back on a full time contract and potentially another person being moved... Grrrrrrrrrrrr

I got told there was no chance I could move departments because I phoned in sick after they gave me shifts I explicitly said I couldn't do, and another because I sprained my ankle. Top company to work for. Hate checkouts aswell worst job ever!
