Sainsburys thread MK III

The system is very bad. It use to crash all the time when I applied, I ended up applying three times just to make sure it went through!

Anyway normally it will come up with errors and not let you proceed if they have received their limit of applicants. I believe they set a limit of applicants and then system closes that vacancy.

So I got told off for doing overtime in another store without asking permission of my manager but why do I need to?

I work my contracted hours at my store and usually a few more (around 4).

It did piss me off a bit as I'm not a store's property.

Sticky situation to be in.

Whilst you don't strictly need permission to do overtime at another store/department, you should make your line managers aware out of courtesy, and so they know to process your hours properly. Some stores/departments are working on the edge when it comes to their labour budget and their worked hours target, if you work at another store and your pay doesn't get processed and transferred to said store in the same, right week, it affects your base store's labour budgets/hours.

Yeah I understand that but in fairness my store was processing all the overtime anyway as I couldn't clock in at my old store.

Either way I'm basically banned.

As you stated earlier, your store doesn't "own" you - you cannot be banned from doing overtime at another store, providing it doesn't interfere with your contractual obligations.

Tell your manager to run, and jump off a cliff!

Managers are totally fine with it so long as you have someone else to work it and you work for them. I've done a few, mostly because of the way the holiday systems works, so after most holiday weeks i've swapped my Sunday shift out and they've never complained, just ask!

Probably been asked before but what is induction day(s) like? What should i wear? Many thanks.

don't you still clock in at the store you are working at using your contracted stores login?

Need help ... I'm only on a 12 hour contract, and one of my contracted days is Friday, 1-9pm. When this weeks schedule for my department was put up, my Friday shift was crossed out I was down to work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday instead, all 8 hr shifts. I'm rarely down to work Fridays - even tho it's in my contract, they normally cross it out and give me shifts in the week instead. The schedule has been up for 3 weeks now, and I checked it yesterday and it said I'm still off on Friday. Anyway, I goes into work today, and now it says I'm in 1-9 on the Friday. Arggggh. It's said for 3 weeks that I'm off, and now, 4 days before it says I'm in. Normally, I wouldn't be bothered, but I (stupidly) spent £40 on a gig ticket a few days ago.. the gig's on Friday. Will I have to work seeing as it's my contract day, or can I just say, I can't, it said I was off so I made plans (doubt that!) I'm guttttted

there is a way to clock in, although you need to get the info from HR. I overheard that there is a button on the clock in machine you press.

Tried to sign up to my sainsburys, but I don't know my employee number. Must be different to the one given to me on my temporary contract form now I'm permanent?

Will be on your pay slip ..
