The Working At Asda Thread

Just applied, if i get invited to a 'magic' event i'm assuming jumper shirt trousers shoes is alright to wear?

Anybody know the current starting wage for Christmas temps? then again i suppose anythings better than £3.64 an hour.

I've heard from my friend that smart casual is the dress code he went by for the 'magic' event.
Also, apparently it's £6.12 an hour until probation (12 weeks) is over and then goes up to £6.27 an hour (:

Hope this is okay! x

Does any one know how long it is before u get paid when u first start ie a week in hand or month as am not entitled to any help off benifits as i havnt been on benifits for long enough thanks xx

What is the pay for Asda?

Thank you! So you have to scan two things? I just thought you checked the receipt and vouchers matched then scan the voucher?

They have set days on which everyone in the company gets paid. It's every 4th Friday but I've no idea when the next payday is, sorry. The cut off date is two weeks before the payday though (I think), if you start working less than two weeks before a pay day you'll have to wait till the next one (anyone who knows better correct me if I'm wrong!).

not sure about anything else but with the apg vouchers
you check the receipt + the green print out have the same number.. the number is obvious on the green print out + it's at the top of the prices on the receipt. If it does, you scan the green print out and then press total + then you either scan the black print out, or type in 500 and press the 'coupon' button

don't forget to put 2 black lines through the coupons once you have used them but don't let the lines go through the bar code!

hope i helped!

I've got an induction day on Saturday...Does anyone know what this involves and what I need to wear or bring?

omg. how do you all remember the fruit codes? such a mare. also, gift cards and vouchers: not a clue! When I worked at M&S everything was touchscreen with a big picture

Do you mean your best welcome, your till training or your actual first day? As you've not been given uniform I assume it is the first in which case you can wear whatever you want essentially.

I think it's the best welcome...I will call them up to clarify does this mean I have got the job?

My boyfriend has a "Best Welcome" induction for Asda in a few hours, just wondering what he can expect from it? Is it just filling out forms and watching health & safety videos? He's been told to just wear something casual and not go suited and booted.

Hi there, i hope someone can help me.
I am currently a seasonal colleague within asda for thelast 3 years. Today I had to get in contact with them to let them know that i would only be able to work Christmas eve this year as i finish term on the 19th, i am currently in my final year of university and i have got a lot of work to do for the first week of jan. I currently live away from home and i will only be home from 23rd December for a week. I informed asda of my situation and they told me that unless i dont come back when every other seasonal colleague is coming back on the 11th December, then my contract will be terminated. I dont know what to do as my course does not end to 19th December for xmas.
any help would be greatful.

I have an ASDA interview on Weds. I was wondering if the group interview and one to one interview are always done on separate days?

Has anyone ever done these both on the same day and then been told at a later time whether they have been successful or not??
