Stores / Re: Pay review 2023
Last post by oldfashionedplayer - Today at 01:25PM
I would assume that it'd be a flexible working request, and come under that for reduction of hours, whether temporary or permanent it can be looked at there on either a trial basis or a permanent basis, which under that it says manager will arrange a meeting at a mutual time to discuss, however the process has to be completed within 2 months from receiving a request to responding to any subsequent appeal.

on the site there's a guide with it and a flexible working checklist and the bottom of what they'd discuss it seems, so whether that's something to go off of, if you've been fobbed off since january after submitting I would definitely raise it as a complaint that's not following policy process.

No form as far as I'm aware but not 100% sure. I asked for a permanent change in contracted hours back in January and am still being fobbed off by my manager with one excuse after another. Thinking of going above my line manager & asking the store manager.

Slightly off-topic question - can someone please let me know if there is an official way/route/form to complete in order to request a permanent change to contracted hours (reducing from 32 to 30 in this case) - is it just a case of "writing a memo to manager" -or is there a form to complete? Is there any other process which would hold this process up? Asking for a colleague who has been waiting three weeks for her manager to "come back to her" on it.

Stores / Re: Bonus payments
Last post by oldfashionedplayer - Today at 12:05AM
Quick question with this, in terms of the bonus payments, I have colleagues that are on UC and to avoid just losing out in general since they were unable to opt out before 3rd, it was suggested that pension was a way? - but the "estimated cost to you" is what is confusing I get that tesco matches it up to 7.5% and you can put it more, but it has 2 numbers of "total taken from your pay" and "total paid into your savings" - if the bonus was £100-150 would you just increase so the "cost to you" is that extra?

becomes so confusing to me, more used to the policy side than retirement side and i can't figure it out lol.

No surprise paying your union not mine I won't join. to sit down and sup tea and take time from real work why shouldn't he take advantage of us there's nothing to stop him
Stop paying union subs. see if that wakes them up when they are on low wages.

Stores / Ken Murphys Pay and Bonus
Last post by Willie Low Old Timer - 15-05-24, 08:52PM
We all know that CEO's are paid obscene amounts of money compared to the workers who are actually doing all the hard work on the shop floor or in distribution, our Ken is no different as we have seen this week.
Although we can't actually do anything to stop this all of us who own shares in Tesco can vote against the renumeration package that rewards Ken for cutting staff to increase profit whilst making our job even harder.
As i said we can't stop his pay package as we collectively don't have enough shares to affect it but if enough of us do this the board may take notice ;D  ;D , who knows perhaps we will get a "Performance share plan" for keeping shelves stocked and dealing with customers on a daily basis!!

It was for all night managers going from £4000 to £5000 for their night annual premium. It was to put them on the same night premium as distribution night managers.
