Primark thread

I recently got a part time retail assistant job at Primark. I'm contracted to work weekends, 4 hours each day. My first day is tomorrow and I have a few questions, any help will be much appreciated

- I have my induction and I was told to report to HR on my first day but I'm really nervous that it's going to be awkard and I won't know what to do? When my shift is over (2:30-6:30 on Saturday and 1-5 Sunday) do I just leave and clock out or do I have to tell someone or is clocking out enough?
- The staff handbook says holiday entitlement is 5.6 weeks a year starting in September. Does anyone know if this is for weekday staff or weekend staff or both? My allowance as I only started half way through the year until September is 4.5 days. I'm worried this won't be enough as I'm going to need 3 Saturday's and 2 Sunday's off in August for my summer holiday which is already booked. But I'll probably need other days off for university open days? Do you think they'll understand?
- I know weekend staff have to work bank holidays which I'm fine with, this Monday is a bank holiday and it's Saturday, do you think I'm going to have to be working this Monday? I haven't been told anything regarding a shift?

Thank you for your time x

Hi,

I applied for a Job a month ago and I still haven't had a reply! on my account it says it 'application under review'. It been forever! Has anyone else applied and they have taken ages to get back to you?

Thanks

It's my first day tomorrow and I know how to clock in/off and what floor I've been allocated too but...I don't know what to do when I get there! Do I just find a supervisor and ask them what theyd like me to be doing???

I'm 17 and I work in primark. Usually when we book time off the managers like if you give around 4 weeks notice at least, so when booking time off for my family summer holiday to Portugal I gave 6 weeks notice. I only work weekends so asked for 2 weekends off as I'm going for 2 weeks, however I've been told I can only have the 2nd weekend off as the 1st is fully booked. The problem is that I cannot physically come into work for the 1st weekend as I won't be in the country. My family holiday was booked early in the year and I didn't start working at primark until the end of April. I don't really want to talk to the manger again because she'll will just say I have to come in and that she cannot approve the weekend off. I'm not really sure what to do about it, any help will be much appreciated.
