Re: Hourly rate for Debenhams(Original post by xUniquex)
Ohh ok! I worked for a temporary period last year and got £5 an hour and i was only 17
It obviously varies big time depending on the store.

Re: Hourly rate for DebenhamsI've worked for Debenhams for 2 years.
Christmas Temporary staff get paid a higher rate (incentive for working there for over the xmas period of time) I started off as one of these and got paid £5.04 despite only being 16
Then, they kept me on as a permanent member of staff, from January onwards and put my wage down to £3.89 (booo!)
When i turned 17 and had worked there a year i was training new members of staff and i got a payrise to £5.05 (normal rate for 18 year olds).
So yeah....that's kind of a bit confusing, but hope it helps. Quite a lot of under 18s are paid about the £3.89- £4.20 mark but it does go up to £5.05 when hitting 18.
Other things that influence pay are the store that you work in (City/Out of town stores get paid better wages)
Haha...v long post; i promise that i've got a life outside of Debenhams
! Ive been told i will be on minimum wage because im only going to be working in the busy periods such as sales times and holiday periods. Im taking its 5.05,which isnt bad i guess
