Yes. All permanent amendments should go through SM

There is no obligation to let you drop a shift. It will depend on if it suits the store, is there someone that could pick the shift up. Good luck

Sunday is the only day tesco have no choice but to let you opt out of, other days are at their discretion.

Nikkih4586 , how long have you been doing the job ?? You've just dropped one night and want to drop another night ? You obviously got a job with a 4 night contract 30hrs, many people would love that, set hours knowing their shifts, not trying to get overtime.  If you've done it for years and your circumstances have changed then why did you not drop the 2 nights at the same time which would've enabled management to advertise a 15hr job ? But I get the impression that you're quite new in the position so why take the job and do someone else out of a decent contract.

To be honest this infuriates me as there are people stuck on flexi contracts being "forced" to work hours they don't want to and then having their hours cut by half come January/February.  People do this in our store, take on a job only to tell them 2 weeks later that it doesn't really suit and they need to change their hours  >:(

Well I totally understand you dropping a shift to help out your son and yes Tesco should do their best to accommodate this . I doubt they'll go out of their way to help if it's for another job  but as you're obviously prepared to work fri sat nights it should go in you favour . Good luck
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: lucgeo on 03-09-19, 10:39AM
Don't crack on about your new job, just let them think it's for personal reasons, helping your son out. Always good to lay it on a bit...you're struggling to support your attendance, you're dealing with a lot of pressure at the moment, don't want to go off sick with all the stress, letting your colleagues or Tesco down, busy weekends not a problem as not needed at home to support etc..etc..put the ball back in their court, ask for a meeting to support your attendance with your manager and rep. Mental health awareness is the new black, they should be taking your request seriously, as should your rep, it's what USDAW are pushing to support recently.

it may be that the team manager would be reluctant to allow you to drop a shift if the sm does not allow him/her to replace the shift, family commitments or not the store still has to operate  and as you have another job which fulfils you more then perhaps this job is no longer for you.

I was late by 40 mins for my shift due to transport issues and my manager wants me to start 40 mins earlier on my next shift. However, I have checked the lateness policy and it says nothing about making up the hours, in fact it says lateness is always paid so wouldn't they have to pay me more in that case. Am I REQUIRED to start earlier or is she not following policy?

Lateness is always paid but the understanding is that it that the time is paid back at a time to suit the business and you.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Welshie on 05-09-19, 08:34AM
Why shouldn't you pay in back ?? Otherwise everyone would walk in 40 mins late every shift and get paid for time they're not working .
Its unfortunate that public transport caused your lateness BUT what's to say all of a sudden everyone's bus was "late" because you got paid 40mins you didn't work !!
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: whatajoke2019 on 05-09-19, 09:49AM
I was always on the understanding if you were late, for whatever reason, you either made the time back and/or had your pay adjusted accordingly for time not worked.

I suspect, in the future, when W&P comes into effect you'll only be paid for the actual hours you've worked (including any pre-agreed overtime that's been added to the tablet/HRAM) and if you're late and don't make the time back, you won't be paid.

Because persistent lateness would result in disciplinary action. I just want to know if my manager is following policy.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: tumshie on 06-09-19, 01:31AM
Lateness is a disciplinary issue.
Your manager should accept your explanation or give you a Let's Talk for being so late.
Either way, she should not dock your pay.

That said, I'd be inclined to offer to work the 40 mins another time, but maybe that's just me.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Redshoes on 06-09-19, 07:38AM
I just know that lateness should be paid and time is paid back. I have seen it written down but can't remember where but policy is now online and open for all to see. As others have said, it's fair. Anyone and everyone would just turn up as they want if being late was paid but not having to pay back. The company can't punish us for being stuck in traffic but we could all have that excuse. If it is a one off you need to talk to your manager.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: londoner83 on 06-09-19, 08:16AM
Lateness is a conduct issue but is  paid as you cant be punished twice for the same offence.

Its is wrong to deduct pay for lateness and then send a employee thru disciplinary procedures.

In most cases managers should use common sense. A employee who has a 5 min walk to work shouldn't be late, someone relying on 2-3 buses or a motorway drive may occasionally exiperence delays out of their control.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: whatajoke2019 on 06-09-19, 09:56AM
In my defence I was told this by a manager a few years ago; I should know better as they can't spell process, let alone follow it.

There was one occasion where I was late for work (knock on traffic from an RTA) by around half an hour.

Clocked in and out and made my time back. Come pay day-minus hours  :-X.

Didn't bother to challenge it, even though I perhaps should have, because I'd done a fair amount of overtime and it saved me a few quid in Tax and NI.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Tosco19 on 06-09-19, 10:21PM
To clarify the above, Lateness (up to two hours) is a conduct issue and should be dealt with as follows:

Let's Talk > Investigation (Depending on Number of occasions, frequency)

You should be paid and coded as PA300 Lateness on the wages system - you SHOULD NOT be unpaid as double jeopardy is not allowed and the punishment is done through the disciplinary procedure.

Note that if you are over two hours late you are not late and you are absent.

Without creating new topic.... i would like to ask a question about droping a shift/s. Is there a policy at our tesco about that. Like who you must inform how long it take. I am planning to change job if possible but i would like to keep one night just in case ;D
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: lucgeo on 28-10-19, 07:42AM
I'm unsure if there is policy, but as a rule of thumb in my store was.....

Spoke to your manager of your possible intent to drop a day. They would discuss what day/hours  you had in mind, if it was agreeable to them, they would speak to SM to arrange.
However, be prepared for them to refuse, as the day you want may be a difficult shift to cover, especially as others probably won't be given your vacated hours as a contracted shift. Even if your manager agrees, the SM may override.
Always remembering, that if they do agree, you're not entering into a new flexi contract when they get you to sign!

It all depends on whether there is a single shift available and whether they want to give it to you.  You have no rights as such to expect Tesco to acquiesce (https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=acquiesce)  to your needs.

Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Redshoes on 28-10-19, 01:55PM
It also depends on if the store you are in is over hours. Then as said above its down to if your shift is needed or if the store is able to cover without you. If your store is over hours they may not be able to add hours to someone else. They may just be looking to cut hours. If your shift needs covering it might be a matter of moving someone else's hours. You don't automatically have the right to cut hours. There are a lot of things that need to fall into place to allow it to happen. You also then need to do a minimum of 7.5 hours, there are exceptions to this in rare instances but stores are advised to not have a contract with less than 7.5 hours.

Hi, I am working four night shifts Sat Sun Mon & Tue.  I have been with the company 6 months.  I would like to drop the Sat night.  Is this possible? as I have heard other people have done it?  Is there a length of time you have to be in the company before you can ask for this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: NightAndDay on 23-01-22, 01:14AM
If you drop your Saturday night, you lose most of your Sunday premium, they will let you drop it, but you may have to wait until they can replace you on that shift, they will accomodate you, but  there may be a period of time they'd want you to continue until they can get it sorted.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: horatiocain on 23-01-22, 09:40AM
Because a Saturday night actually includes Sunday working yes you can.
Speak with your anger about dropping or knowing it, if they won't agree you can drop it regardless.
Fill in the Sunday opt out form, after 4 weeks you no longer work Sundays.

There should be a meeting when you submit the form to see if there are alternative hours available but in my experience if they won't let you drop a shift and you have to exercise your rights, they won't follow the policy and try to find alternative hours anyway.

This is what happens in my W&P store - work it back or lose it. Staff can stay later to make it up at our discretion, ie if it's a one off it would be allowed, or if it's someone with constant lateness they wouldn't be allowed to try to get them to change the pattern of lateness

This is the case for my store. We are 'over' hours because the hours are in the wrong place. So it's more difficult for people to drop shifts. I kept asking to drop one, and it was never implemented, but I didn't chase it as much as I could have, either. I've found that in some cases it helps to find someone who will cover your shift to add as a suggestion beforehand, but if you are over hours, that won't necessarily help.

However, if not accommodating you poses the risk of losing you for the crucial Friday/Saturday nights also, that can work in your favour. But I wouldn't advise threatening to quit completely if you don't mean it.

Just throwing ideas out there!

What happens if someone doesn't turn up for a shift and also hasn't rang in to let bosses know they won't be in?
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: lucgeo on 03-02-22, 11:05AM
Depends on the circumstances, but it's usually a disciplinary process as they are considered AWOL!

If it's a contracted shift, and there was no special circumstances due to sudden unexpected events which would explain the non contact, then it will go down the disciplinary process route and relevant warning issued!

If it's an arranged and agreed overtime shift then that should be dealt with the same as contracted shift.

If it's due to an emergency situation, then it should just be an investigation and the rules reiterated, but moving forward, the supporting your attendance should come into play, and no disciplinary.

There are times when a shift time has been changed by the manager, and just put on the rota, but failed to instruct the employee. They will argue that the colleague should have looked at the rota, but the onus is on the manager to inform any changes with at least 24 hours notice!

Thanks for the advice guys so I should be able to opt out of Sundays Ie Saturday nights as my shift starts at 11pm? 
Could anyone confirm or clarify if you have to be in the position a certain amount of time in general to drop a night ? 

Thanks
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: horatiocain on 04-02-22, 08:04PM
You can opt out from day 1, no length of service is needed and yes your Saturday shift into Sunday morning is the one which gets dropped  also if you work Sunday night j to Monday morning your contracted hours cannot include any time on Sunday.

As for the ither question asked  failure to notify is covered jn the sickness policy, 1st occasion is noted on the welcome back to follow process, 2nd occasion is a let's talk  third is a formal warning 4th is a dismissal.
However this does not apply to inverting shifts  not calling in however can be used as justification to refuse overtime.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Munchkin on 04-02-22, 08:07PM
I have dropped a shift and SM was very honest with me about the rules ' you can drop absolutely any shift you like by giving 4 weeks written notice' those are the rules now I was told otherwise by a lead manager but when asking the SM that's the response I got and I did it another colleague has also done exactly the same very recently with new SM and no arguments you just need to maybe be a little ascertive about your rights as in the current climate people are often not replaced so managers may be reluctant to let people drop hours if they think they can get away with saying no
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: horatiocain on 04-02-22, 08:15PM
The SM is applying a best practice rule, which they're free to do and is actually a good idea  but the policy is that if you want a change you have to request via a flexible working request, which is hard to refuse in Tesco.

Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: horatiocain on 05-02-22, 07:10PM
I'd use your right to opt out, no you also cannot have that shift as no hours on a Sunday to be contracted at all, you can still request a flexible working arrangement to drop the shift, but you will need a reason.

Sunday opt out means no hours on a Sunday to be contracted

We've had about 3 drop their Sunday into Monday shift but keep going with their Saturday ones, so maybe it's that they really need the workers 😂, though when it comes to ban holidays and whatnot the say its a different day... So maybe the same applies to that? 🤔
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: horatiocain on 06-02-22, 02:09PM
Remember while that's what opt out means  the average tesco manager needs a dictionary for each of those word, so will have no clue about the actual rules.

When they took the Sunday premium we had 25+ drivers drop Sundays and intended tonouck it up on overtime if they wanted to, management said no to all their ivertime even though it left them short, tesco settled the lawsuit within weeks of it being filed and the managers all got the blame, but nothing has changed.

I'm not surprised at all, the few good managers would just let you drop a shift.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Poppy123 on 05-03-22, 08:32PM
Hi I am
Still a little confused by this,  I work sat - Tuesday night on night shift 11pm-8am.  I would like to drop only the Saturday night.  I assume from what I have read on here I cannot use the opt out form as this would mean I would also have to drop the Sunday as part of my shift the 11pm on Sunday is for one hour of Sunday working.   Is it possible to just drop a Saturday night can the refuse this?  And also is their a length of time you have to be with the business before you can drop any night?   I work 30 hours and have been with business 7months on the same shifts.

Thanks
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: horatiocain on 05-03-22, 11:05PM
You can always request to drop the Saturday night,  its always your best first choice.
It gets very tricky if you opt out  you can still work a Sunday but not be co tracked to it  so technically your Sunday shift would change to be midnight onwards losing you an hour,  but the company should realise you will opt out and negotiate a solution.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: BUY TESLA STOCK on 05-03-22, 11:09PM
There shouldn't be an issue giving up a shift if you give them notice but they might even try to dismiss you the way it's going. Unless you have 2 years service you won't have a leg to stand on. It's goes from white collar crime at Director level to your GAs that are trying to damage items to get them on the cheap at shift end.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Poppy123 on 13-03-22, 01:09AM
Ok so just to clarify I do not need to be with the company any set amount of time before I can drop a shift?  I have been with Tesco nearly 8 months.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Redshoes on 13-03-22, 10:29AM
It's nothing to do with length of service. It will depend on things like if the shift needs to be filled by someone else, how the store sits regarding hours etc. The updated heat map is due wk 3 so it will depend on this. If the dept you work in is under hours but another area is over hours and there is somebody willing to do that shift it won't be a problem.
As you have been with the company 8 months you should be on a permanent contract now. What does not go down well is wanting to drop a weekend shift straight after being made permanent. This goes for fellow colleagues and managers. It's frustrating to see how someone's availability changes after getting a permanent contract. There are often people who have been waiting years to change hours, but as you are dropping hours and not moving this should be less of an issue.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: horatiocain on 13-03-22, 06:15PM
There is no minimum term to ask to drop a shift by negotiation.
However you have 2 options.
Dropping Sundays you can do from day 1, no issue there.
You can also make a flexible working request, which requires 6 months service, which you have.
There are specific reasons they can refuse these requests, and I'd suggest getting your local rep involved as it can become very argumentative.
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Poppy123 on 15-03-22, 01:14AM
I am requesting this as flexible working.  If I can't drop the Saturday and opt out of Sunday ie Saturday night 11-8am how does that work for my Sunday shift 11pm-8am will they let me start at 12 midnight or will they let me drop the Saturday.  It's the Saturday night I want to drop.  Thanks
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: chris9997 on 15-03-22, 09:08AM
There is no time limit to drop a shift but in my experience your manager may be reluctant to allow you to do so as in the past when we have had someone drop a shift senior management did not allow the hours to go to someone else, they were just lost, saving the company money and getting the operation a little closer to the RHRP.

Saturday night into Sunday morning falls into the Sunday opt out :question:
Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: Poppy123 on 16-03-22, 01:24AM
I can opt out but then would they not let me start the Sunday shift at 11pm which runs into Monday 8am?  Or would they let me start at 12?   I have no issue with working the Sunday night 11pm-8 issue would be that if I opt out would they prevent me working my Sunday night shift?

Title: Re: Dropping shift
Post by: horatiocain on 18-03-22, 12:49PM
If you opt out then no hours at all  you should have a meeting and you should propose that you want the Saturday into Sunday off but are willing to compromise and continue working the Sunday into Monday shift.

Dropping hours isn't the same as changing hours...... you want less time in the god forsaken place, someone has done this in our store recently no change of contract.Less hours = less time putting up with these idiots.

Going forward those who want additional hours need to increase flexibility but even then they can stay on fixed hours contract. Everybody's contract is being updated in October but even then you won't have to go on a flexi contract.
Just ask to see this in writing, you could even say that if they find this in policy for you to see you will happily sign. They will never be able to produce it so you are safe.
