I had an induction but it was literally going through health and safety, getting to know the manager a bit and taking uniform sizes. id imagine if youve done a shift without one you wouldnt be getting one.



Its unlikely theres a mix up, youll be paid whatever it says on your contract



Last working day of the month is payday. The cut off date is the second suday of the month and you get a payslip that comes in on delivery around payday



You can get a 15% discount on a thursday on anything for yourself, you just have to give the cashier your payroll number. The 4 digit number is your password to sign onto a till if you get till trained



It really depends on your manager. Mine likes to move people around so theyre not always doing the same thing. Also depends on what other staff are in and what theyre trained on. The best way to get experience on everything is to speak to your manager and just say youre keen to have a go at other things, but without moaning and they should be impressed that youre keen



Yes you would



Theres really no point ringing the store, i know in mine the store phone hardly ever gets answered, youre better off just going in the store

Thank you, that helped clear up a lot. Will I be properly trained for tills when I get hours? Or do they give a brief explanation and expect you to get on with it?

The only other really strange thing here is the pay rate. I'm certain I was told at the interview I would be getting £4.20. I'm 17 too and not in a massive city like London, so it's a bit confusing. If I had to guess I would say they've made an error and they'll claim it back when they notice. I might just not say anything for now...

Brief explanation from management or very experienced CAST staff member but you learn from the other Tillys, as well as picking it up yourself.

Don't say anything and just see how it goes - its extra money after all. Although if they do say anything then say its in your contract and they legally have to pay you the money in your contract so...

EDIT: as for your other questions, MissLightyear has answered them pretty much spot on

That's what I was thinking. For £6.31 I'd be willing to hang and tag clothes 24/7 haha

I would t go that far, but being 18 and having worked there for 21 months I'd hope to be paid more than £4.98 - but it seems that's what all 18yo in my area/region are being paid. Maybe you're being paid a bit more due to working delivery shifts? I dunno

EDIT: I don't think so, as you're signing your consent to them claiming back any money mispaid which then makes it legal since it has your consent.

I guess all I can do is sign it and see what happens when I get my payslip. If I even stay that long. If I had any other options I'd have gone elsewhere.

First shift coming up, just wondering do they let you wear like a cardigan or whatever over the uniform top? Or like a black sleeved top under the uniform?

Or just the uniform top?
Thanks
