Sainsbury's thread Mk IV

You know if you call in sick....do you need a doctors note after the first two days or is it after 7 days?

You can self certify for 7 days. After that you'll need a doctors note.

To self certify do you need a document or anything or is it just word of mouth?

My final drama assessment for my A-Level was meant to be next Wednesday night but due to the examiner it has been rescheduled to next Thursday, and I have one of my contracted shifts on a Thursday night. It's unavoidable as it's one of my final A-Level exams for the course. It'll be too late to book as holiday, so hopefully my department manager will understand. Any advice about sorting this?

Does the cut off include today (Saturday) for the cut off? I would assume so as the new week starts on Sunday

Last question about pay: is it on the 15th every month & how do we find out the exact date? Thank you

Does anyone know what could happen to hourly staff who don't do the required 4 weeks notice?

The situation at my Sainsbury's has become awful and I really want to leave I don't think I can face going in for any more shifts though.

Would this just mean a bad reference? Has anyone heard of people being taken to court over this?

Hey, i was wondering if anyone knew what the cut off for bonus was when it comes to discipinaries?

Basically i have a verbal warning and have been off sick again today so will most likely get a written at my next meeting. As it is part of the new financial year will this lead to me losing my bonus? We got the 3% so i really don't want to lose it but there was no way i could have made it in today :\

Any help is appreciated!

Hey if you did overtime in February would that be added to extra holiday entitlement for this year 2016/2017 or the following year 2017/2018

RGS Bonus Holiday

* RGS Bonus holiday is given to part-time colleagues on RGS contracts who work extra hours (up to a maximum equivalent to full time holiday allowance). The amount of additional holiday is based on the amount of overtime that is worked between Period 8 to Period 7.

* Any bonus holiday hours earned is issued to colleagues at the same time as their standard holiday entitlement in December / January.

* Review overtime being worked by RGS colleagues on a regular occasion. This will prompt any required contract changes which can reduce future bonus holiday being issued.

Had my interview over a week ago and I'm yet to be contacted.. How long did it take for you???

Bonus calculations have already been submitted, and are awaiting authorisation - i.e. confirmation from the board.

Your bonus from last year will be fine, providing bonus is paid - however, a written warning for absence will prevent you from getting a bonus this year.
