How much do you get paid?

Scroll to see replies

I started in McDonald's on £4 an hour nearly 2 years ago, but now I'm on £5.55 an hour as a Staff Trainer. At the moment I'm training to become a shift manager, then I'll be on about £7 an hour, and even though there are extra courses and exams to do (yes, in McDonald's!) it doesn't interfere with my A Levels and the hours are really flexible.

Not bad for a McJob :smile:

This may come across as rude, so you don't need to answer if you don't want to, but I was wondering where you worked and how much you get paid (and I guess what your job is then!).

I work in Millets (an outdoor shop) at weekends (I'm only a 4 hour contract, but end up working 8/10/12 normally) and get £3.65 an hour... I'm only 16 though.

You get more per hour in tiso plus 40% discount. not sure how the stirling tiso hours work out but you would usually work an all day. it might be worth going in & speaking to the manager.

£6.50 before 6pm and £7 after. I just call people up and interview them about their experiences with the police. It's slowly driving me insane though..

Kind of depends what month you ask me (I swap jobs a lot). Currently varies from £6 at a charity call centre to £9.50 plus as a temp receptionist.

£15.60 per hour as a Payroll Supervisor - temp work via an agency.

It was quite good actually have done every job under the sun, waitering, bar staff, sales assistant etc - finally got a job opening post lol and they trained me up to handle a payroll. Ended up earning £8 an hour and as a result when I started temping again recently I managed to get this job :smile:

Phone calls off these drive me insane too, I've done at least 3 of those police surveys in the last year or so!

Yeah I live in Merseyside. I never give proper answers on those interviews because I feel so under pressure and I don't want to offend the person on the phone. haha.

Haha, don't worry. I prefer talking to people who are blatently not interested than an old person for 45 minutes..

So, how does it feel to know you've given false information to the police? :wink:

£6.50 an hour.

Boots, £5.50 an hour but I work Sundays so I get time and a half.. which I guess bumps it up to £8.25.

I'm 20 and I get £4.92 an hour at Primark. From reading this thread I apparently work for the lowest wage for my age. I am going to look for another job.

True but consider the fact Ireland is ridiculously expensive. At first I found it alarming how 'little' I was getting compared to my 9.65E job in Ireland but in the UK you get a lot more your money :smile:

That's because your currency wrecks everything :smile:

(nearly) everything is converted from sterling into euro with tax, so it sucks. If yous just joined the euro, it would be so much cheaper.
