Thank you for the the reply night & day sorry to be stupid question but who do I put the Grievance never done this before
I posted something about breaks and what we are entitled to ages ago but wasn't allowed to delete it & cut of most of what i wanted to write. So my questions today are;1) We work 45 hours but only get paid 36.5hours. Yes we're mean't to take 90 minutes break but near impossible and during that break you have to answer bells, you also can never leave the store as there's no cover.But with the breaks takings out of that 45 hours we're missing 1 hour? where is that mean't to be. 2)i've been writing my breaks in the safe & legal but never get them paid. 3) I haven't been paid for 17 Sunday Premiums the last 6 pay checks and haven't been paid for any of my 4am Starts. I spoke to another shift leader who works two every week and he also doesn't get the night premium who works 2/3 shifts and he said its only a £5 so he doesn't bother moaning (all adds up) . We both clock in & out and yet still not get paid right how is that even possible with the clock in system. 4) Who should i contact?as my manager isn't much help and my pay cleark is uselessRant.... worked this out and considering the financially side of things i'm not much better off as a CA. I work 45 hours a week - Get 90 minutes break - Loose 1 hour every week = £375.59 divide 45 = £8.34 per hour wage. less then a CA I work in TESCO EXPRESS where we're 1 on 1 most nights.I'm going to step down due to the pay and you can't progress in the company as my next step would be shift leader to store manager.My new role - i'm on £10.52x12 hours= £126.24 ( Due to 4am Starts x4 & One sunday shift) £8.42x 14 hours = £117 + £126.24 = £244.12 for 28 hours (30 minute break every shift) Only drama i have is that i've gotta find another £131 to make up to what i'm earning now but will have to jump from store to store to find 15 hours week ( shouldn't be hard as theres 10+ tesco in the area) Thanks for reading
I'd forget about it @Youngmod93 cos there's no payrol budget to cover that many hours of unused breaks . As a wonnbe manager you're expected to sacrifice your breaks in the interests of the business. You're not alone though, as there are loads of managers throughout the company who routinely work beyond their contractual hours without pay. Don't stress yourself out starting a battle over something you can't possibly win. And don't be fooled by any company guidance or directives covering the issue - its just BS to cover the themselves. Either suck it up or step down - life's too short.

As a wonnbe manager you're expected to sacrifice your breaks in the interests of the business. You're not alone though, as there are loads of managers throughout the company who routinely work beyond their contractual hours without pay. Don't stress yourself out starting a battle over something you can't possibly win. And don't be fooled by any company guidance or directives covering the issue - its just BS to cover the themselves. Either suck it up or step down - life's too short.As a shift leader your contract will say your hours of work are 36.5 hours anything above that you are paid overtimeAs a Tm or SM it states that their hours of work are 36.5 hours minimum that is the difference between TMs and shift leaders contract The point of a contract of employment is a legal agreement between the employer and the employee. The company state the hours of work and how much you are going to be paid along with your conduct during them hours of work and in return they agree to pay whatever the hourly rate is quoted on the contract for each and every hour . if you deviate from those hours or conduct during them hours then you are in breach of contract. if the company refuse to pay as per the contract they are not only in breach of contract they are guilty of non payment of wages If they do not pay wages that are owed after you have given them an opportunity to make good the shortage in pay and they refuse to pay ANY part of what you are entitled to then they are breaking employment law at which point you go to Acas to concilliate. you fill in a form online at ACAS who will then appoint someone to conciliate with the company. if the company then refuse then the application goes to a tribunal and providing you have proof of your hours i.e. rotas you will win. If you check decisions on the tribunal website and put in Tesco you will find all cases concerning pay always are withdrawn by applicant in other words the company make an offer to settle in return for you to withdrawIf you are not able to leave your store for any of your breaks then this means you are on call and if you are on call you are entitled to be paid that is not only company policy but also the law. There are only select professions that you do not have to be paid for breaks and be on the premises, retail is not one of them.As for there is no payrol budget that is not your problem. The company policy is that the Store Manager is responsible for the rotas in store both Management and CA`s along with the distribution of the budget around the rota. If they do not train coach and rota resources to allow you to have an undisturbed break it is their problem and to use the words of tedybonkers for you the Store Manager should suck it up and pay what you are entitled to or step down.Personally I would go through the grievance gather as much evidence as you can and then as someone has previously stated go to acas. At the grievance be prepared for someone to support the Store Managers actions at all costs and try to belittle everything you are claiming so make sure you take good representation in with you, someone who would be willing to be a witness at a Tribunal if it went that far. From what I have seen in the many years in the company Grievances are pre-determined but you have to go through the process to take this further externally if they refuse to pay. Irrespective of advise to the contrary do not step down unless you want to. If what you are saying is correct then you are totally in the right.If you did not follow your contract they would soon start disciplinary process against you so why should you not do the same. The law protects you if you are underpaid in your wages overworkedexpresslad is 100% right and i too wish you the best of luck and agree don`t let them win.
Dude, what ever you do do not step down. I am a shift leader in express and make sure I have my early day every week. I also get paid any breaks that i cant have if being 1-1. All express store were given extra payroll when it came out that we had to be paid for breaks. don't let your manager bully you and not paid you anything you are owed, you should be working 36.5 hours a week and anything over you should be paid. As for not getting paid sunday premium you need to speak with personal as soon as you are back in the store. just a thought are you in the union?? if so give them a ring. Best of luck and don't let them win.
