    Does anyone know what the Waitrose trading year is? In my February pay-check, my PB Ranking Pay was reset, so will my bonus be as a percentage of my PB Ranking Pay from my January pay-check? Thanks!
    Yes the 14% will be from the Partner bonus ranking pay on your January pay slip

    I've given my manager my email address so she can register me to be able to apply the discount whilst shopping on John Lewis online, but it's not working at the moment. Does it take a while to activate or something?

    We signed contracts and filled in other paperwork, we were told about our training and got a USB stick with training stuff to complete at home, and confirmed our business dress sizes.
    How's the job going Moregano?

    I still keep an eye out for JLP jobs but never see any suitable

    I recently had a group interview for supermarket assistant at gerrards cross. What happens next if I get through this stage? I said quite a bit in the interview so what are the chances of me getting further?

    What issues are you having with it? I was 17 when I applied for my job and I didn't have any problems with age.
    (Also, just out of curiosity, which store are you applying for?)

    On Partner Connect it says about getting Vue Movie Money tickets, 'Contact your Leisure Benefits Coordinator or Waitrose Branch Social Club Secretary who may keep a supply of tickets.'

    I doubt that was helpful lol :confused:
