Title: Christmas 10% bonus?
Post by: person7 on 11-12-20, 02:59PM
Just saw on the news/media all tesco staff are getting 1% pay rise over Christmas until 9th January?

Is this true? Cause I've not been told or heard anything about it and it will effect how many hours I can work!

Not sure if I can post link to the sources here so you have to Google it to find it

Plus what happen to the Christmas voucher booklet we normally get every year. Maybe I miss the brief. Are we not getting them this year due to the bonus?

Yes, no voucher booklet this year, 10% bonus for any hours worked between 13th December and 9th January, plus 20% discount next week which doesn't come out of your annual £1,000 allowance.

And they're only paying this bonus to try and entice staff to work over Christmas!

Much prefer the bonus and discount then the book. The book had lots of restrictions, didn't have offers that suited everyone etc.

Whereas the bonus can be spent anywhere, it doesn't restrict staff to where they can spend their money etc. And the discount allows people to spend said money here if they want, on any goods they want etc

Really fail to see the issue with that, most places including my current employer offer incentives to work over the Christmas period, or to work additional days or hours during said period.

Precisely, if you don't want to work during Xmas that's fine, but for people who want too, the bonus is a nice extra payment for the sacrifice

I've been told that the Christmas bonus is for all the hard work done during the pandemic. One of my colleagues has had an accident and won't be able to work over the Xmas period, yet they've done so much overtime to help out during the last 8-9 months - so they won't get a penny. As we all have to take Xmas Day & New Years day off as holiday, there's another couple of days Tesco won't be paying bonus on - it all adds up. I notice that managers get the bonus on salary, not hours worked for that period, brilliant.
Also, why have the new holiday hours (instead of days) started now? Surely it makes sense to implement this in April, at the beginning of the holiday year - I and many others now have an odd number of hours left, meaning we won't get a full shifts pay for our very last day of holiday.

If it was a bonus for all the hard work it would have just been % of dec pay, because of my working days I’ll see no bonus or the vouchers so I got screwed, and yes I’ll be off Xmas and new year but it’s not my fault the days I work.

We haven't had that since the pay increase 2019. When it was announced to £9 hour it was "sacrificed" (the booklets)

Wait really?

Why does nobody ever tell me this stuff? So it's 20% instead of 15%?

We have signs up in store about it , it was put on team 5 and got an email . Also most colleagues are talking about it as 20% discount overlaps for one day with the 25% off wine and also the Baileys offer , maybe we're just all drunks in my store 😂
Title: Re: Christmas 10% bonus?
Post by: notsofunny on 13-12-20, 03:03PM

I am a Teetotaler  :P  ;) But  it would be nice to know which day the offers over lap ?
Title: Re: Christmas 10% bonus?
Post by: jack24 on 13-12-20, 04:07PM
Does anyone know if it works with the clubcard plus ?
So theoretically you could get 30% off .
There is a free trial so I might just try it for that
Title: Re: Christmas 10% bonus?
Post by: whatajoke2019 on 13-12-20, 10:52PM
Just a heads up re: the Baileys 'stunt' offer-Clubcard Prices actually seem to end the day before the date shown on an SEL.

Can't remember what I purchased the other week on the Tuesday Grocery promotion change was taking place but despite being shown on the SEL as finishing that night, it had expired.

What happens then if half your shop is 'on offer' according to the label but you find it isn't at the till?
Title: Re: Christmas 10% bonus?
Post by: dotnochance on 14-12-20, 05:48PM
You have to give it to them
Title: Re: Christmas 10% bonus?
Post by: Mr Brightside 24 on 14-12-20, 07:17PM
The clubcard prices end the day before the label says on all products. So basically they end on the midnight going into the end of offer date, while the normal offers still end on the actual date it says 🤷🏻‍â™,️

It came down on Comms today in regards to CC Prices and the wrong date showing on the SEL.

hi same here no discount shown i assumed the online system discount has been removed because the 20% is not part of allowence hoping it will be rectified after the delivery is picked and ready for delivery.
Title: Re: Christmas 10% bonus?
Post by: dotnochance on 15-12-20, 11:29AM
I see Clubcard + has a free month, so that’s 10% on that and our 20% so 30% not bad
Title: Re: Christmas 10% bonus?

Can you use the 20% off for gift cards specifically steam cards

Post by: StinkyPoo on 15-12-20, 07:53PM
I don't think you get any discount on gift cards...

The 20% discount seems to be included in your online total - not shown separately as with the usual 10%
Title: Re: Christmas 10% bonus?
Post by: chris9997 on 16-12-20, 11:06AM
It appears the total had already been discounted

it's been posted on the ourtesco for the past month and on yammer liked spammed continuous too cause people have asked whats included so unless everyone in your store is blind to everything online / comms / really cut off from the outside world then it should of been known though communication is s*** that is true lol.

just shopped at local store, bill shows colleague discount remaining is £650.93, 2 weeks ago the remaining discount was £2,167.18. That means I spent £15,162.50 in the last two weeks. Perhaps the wife has bought me something special? Anyone know what Tesco sells for £15,000.00.

only 2 people in our store seem to have a yammer account. 99.9% of everyone there doesnt use it. in fact still waiting for one on my account due to "no license" our store never gets information lol.

whats worse is since april our notice board has been taken down during some fire safety refurb (new exit signs and re-wiring so theres nowhere to get information anymore unless you are a manager who gets letters or emails but never bothers to tell anyone.

then again 30-40% of the time we need to use torches as the electrics are just c**p - usually in the room we do high value checks or the mens toilets.. automatic lights always breaking..

the computers we use a also 15 year old machines running windows XP with 4gb ram too.. so nothing surprises me.. then again if they cant fix a leaking roof, i doubt they will sort the notice board/information/yammer licenses out any time soon, while my manager seems ok (first time my manager asked/told me about the christmas dinner thing - i usually find out a day or two too late) the store managers just seem to be letter the place rot

If you can sign onto a pda you can get yammer, it's the same sign in and same password. It's a choice about if you have it or not. You do have to have on your phone but it's worth it. You can view it through an MPC but it's much better on the phone.

I can sign on a pda and I have Tesco store app on my phone , I cannot get on yammer . You need some sort of business code for Tesco as yammer is a business thing not a Tesco thing . So to access the business you work for you seem to need more info
