Sainsburys thread MK ll

Just like to say that when I went for my interview the list was endless of candidates. Jobs are hard to come by nowadays even if it is just working in a supermarket. You are not just up against college kids but middle aged x managers too who just need a job. Its tough out there to get any kind of work believe me!

when is the next payday?

Hi,

Help required from my Sainsburys colleague's....

I have got a General Assistant - night shift job (30 hours) in Sainsburys in Northern Ireland and i start on Friday 7th Oct.

1, I want to know is it possible to do overtime either on Day shift or Night shift?, if i can who do i see, would it be my night shift manager or a day shift manager?

2, Is there a limit to how many hours you can work in a week?

3, How do i go about getting a Time Leader position or a Dept managers position?, do i have to wait until i finish my 12 week thing or can i apply ASAP if theres one going?

4, 12 Week training, i've heard that this can finish early i.e. if my Manager thinks I'm doing well he/she can sign me off early - is this true?

5, I was told the we're paid every 4 weeks, is it 4 weeks from when i start or is say the last Friday in every month?...

Hope you can help.

Hello, I am under 18 but I got told my pay would be £6.21 an hour at my interview. Now I've started the job, they are now paying me £4.76, would this go up to the £6.21 at some point or would I have to wait til I'm 18? I think this is unfair since they did tell me that would be my rate of pay and now they have dropped it by £2.

Thankyou

Hi,

The advert would of said "This rate would apply for over 18's only. If you are under 18 the appropriate rate would be confirmed during the selection process".

I would say that they mentioned the £6.21 at your interview stage but i would think that they said it as a general thing at the interview, as the above statement on the job advert would always stand as it's written where your conversation was verbal. Best to ring HR and ask them, they can only say no!. Hope that helps. Nokia.

hey i have my induction starting friday, i was just wondering what you do in the 16 hour induction? not that i'm complaining since it's paid

At a Sainsbury's local, you have an area HR manager. You should seek them out, and ask for a contact number. Alternatively, get a manager - store, deputy or team leader - to ask on your behalf.
