Late last year our store manager,reportedly recieved a yearly bonus of 60k,we are a large extra with nightshift and dot com.All hourly paid staff recieved a £5 tesco gift card as a Christmas bonus in 2023,another local extra gave all their staff sweet F##K ALL for Christmas 2023.Did you guys do any better at Christmas?
6£gift card here manager inline for a fat bonus in my store heard various amounts on what he will get .. has any other stores had the yearly survey meeting is it every voice matters or what matters to u I cannot remember what it's called
@dundonald a kids selection box and choc orange only because i asked if store manager(we had 2.one on placement,1 on return to work)was coming on nights to thank us,neither did,which will be reflected in every voice matters
The whole store received a cheap looking pen with our name on it(incase we forgot who we are) and a dozen sweets taken from a box of celebrations. Really valued at Christmas time..hope management enjoy their bonus and share with the shift leaders who in my store do far more work than the managers who certainly know where Costa coffee is.
We got a small slab of chocolate then asked to fill in every voice matters lol
A relative of mine who works in an extra got a £1 bag of Jelly Babies and a choice of either a Cola or Fanta orange can as his so called xmas bonus, and then yes you guessed it asked to fill in every voice matters or viewpoint to those of us from the older days of Tesco.
When colleagues used to get cash bonuses, there used to be uproar that those on benefits never actually got to see any of the money as their benefits would be reduced due to the extra income....
It's a bit of a no win either way. Give products (people moan) give salary boost (people moan) do nothing (people moan).
Perhaps at the next pay review the money spent on Xmas staff bonuses can be negotiated away for better hourly pay.
would be nice if we actually saw any of the xmas staff bonus being used as a start, so they may aswell negotiate it away, it did affect universal ones though, typically come out worse off after receiving it, the company could give giftcards instead and that promotes shopping in-house and keeps money in the business... but nope..
Our new store manager suggested no meal and a goody bag for all 400 staff instead,it actually went down well as only third ever came for the meal. We had tub of sweets, finest crisps & matchmakers each. Not quite a Xmas bonus but better than curly sandwiches lol
I would prefer an increase in my hourly rate than a bonus. A bonus is a perk and can be taken away, your hourly rate is built into your contract.
For example;
If I have a 10 hour contract at 11.02ph I earn £5730.40py (To make it simple I have assumed you are not of sick or taken any holidays in the year).
Bonus at 2.5% of £5730.4 = £143.26 for the year
Hourly rate increase to £12ph = £509.60 for the year
All colleagues receive a hourly increase, and does not have an impact on government benefits as a one of payment. With the changes in taxes and benefits being brought in an hourly increase I know will have a impact on those on low incomes eventually.
@,sizzle clearly your manager appreciated you more than ours did and some others out there
Heard a few say in my store managers had a Xmas meal and drinks paid for on night out
It's how the other half live them and us again we are being mugged off.
I did better this year than last. I got a bag of celebrations this time round. Nothing at all last year... although when I mentioned that to some staff this year they said they'd been given a crate of beer last year as their Christmas bonus. The year before that I was given a £1 scratchcard as my bonus... but one which only had a possible jackpot of £50.
I have absolutely no interest in the big 6 wheel, since they took our bonus away! As apparently, staff wanted more in their wages, love to know who got asked? As it wasn't me!
Stupid fools didn't realise they was only pence better off, the following April, lost the bonus for nothing!

I had this discussion with the lady in office for usdaw when I phoned to leave she told me every union member was balloted about this and it was agreed 5-10 minutes later after a conversation and me asking several times when did this happen she said a while ago I left the union as they are not fit for purpose

I always wondered who actually got asked, nobody in the store I was in at the time did. But lets not be silly we all know what most likely happened is Tesco told USDAW the non management staff bonus is going and as ever those at the top of USDAW capitulated and just agreed to it.
They used to have a team of reps from some stores who were the chosen few, and every year they would meet to hear and discuss the latest wage increase offers etc...now these people are not really representative for your own store, and have a cushty few days all expenses paid jolly!
These reps were there to speak for the staff...but most were only interested in making their own way up the chain to area organisers, many were in the rep training schools.
After all decided, the then store reps in your area were brought together for a meeting and informed of the agreed outcome, which was all hush hush and once told you were sent home for the rest of your shift as not at liberty to discuss to anyone, until officially released the next day! Such shenanigans for a foregone conclusion!
Every store manager gets a bonus...so next time you're scurrying from dept to dept, being called to answer every checkout call,minimum staff, no overtime and getting it in the ear because you haven't finished your routines...spare a thought for the poor store manager who on Christmas Eve will be found with the rest of the senior managers, toasting themselves for reaching targets off your backs and rubbing their greedy little mits in anticipation of their mighty bonus's! :-[ :-X :-X
Got absolutely nothing, and yes managers are all getting a fat bonus
overall store managers or departments managers as well?
Store managers getting a hefty bonus all managers getting a bonus aswell
Them and us again
Thing is, they have to try coming up with incentives to be a TM as the gap in pay between ga's & tm's is always lessening & will do so once again come April
If CA pay goes to £12+ in April it will put Shift leaders on a little less per month than a large percentage of TM's!
if the shift leader then gets paid for their early day or any breaks, they will be taking home more than the TM's, and that's before any overtime the shift leader does!
This will be the case till probably end of july.
No shift leader with anything about them will progress under those circumstances.
The company is already having to pay a larger % of external TM's £33k+ just to fill vacancies, you can imagine how that's going down with long term TM's who are finding themselves at the bottom of the pay scale, knowing SL's will soon be on pretty much the same wage!
It's why i personally think there will either be big pay rises for TM's this year or the CA pay rise will be in 2 stages to not only get rid of sunday premiums but to try and hoodwink TM's into thinking they got a good deal when in reality they didn't.
No one gets a good deal with these pay rises from the company it's given with one hand taken with the other .. it's not the ca or shift leaders fault that managers pay hasn't gone up saying that it's not the shift leaders fault now either that the vast majority of the managers work is now dumped on them mayb apart from reviews .. said it a million times no one was forced to take a salary paid job in the company

More likely they will make either lead team or TM redundant, with Shift Leaders in place to do most of the non-admin oriented work, it really doesn't need 3 levels of in-store management to deal with admin, legal and performance.
If I were the business analyst, I'd make lead management team redundant and make the floor pay of TMs £35k a year ranging upwards to £55k a year and to directly report to the Store Manager.
Is this speculation or fact that store managers get a Bonus? Also those store that had some kinda gift, voucher goody bag at Christmas. Where did the funds come from to pay for them? I e had nothing for five Christmas on the trot , along with other colleagues
Past few years in my store even managers have confirmed that store manager has had a nice bonus over x mas another extra in my area store manager had a nice Xmas bonus too.. we were given a gift card of a few £ on it in mine another store in my area the staff were given 1£ scratch cards
Only way to make the Union take notice of its membership is a mass resignation. As an organisation they couldn't afford the financial hit. This however, will not happen. Let's be honest we're now little more than minimum wage employees. The government do a better job representing us than the Union
Atleast 20 have left the union in my store .. and yes I'm intrested when this pay rise is announced will we match Sainsbury or are we waiting for Asda to announce there pay rise I'm sure someone said Sainsbury back dated there payrise aswell

I've no idea about manager's bonus'.
USDAWs facebook page had someone asking about Christmas budgets / colleague christmas bonus just before Christmas. The thread was closed down pretty quickly (as is any thread which results in colleagues posting anything negative - pay threads etc). From what I gather though, it seems that each store gets a per person Christmas budget to spend as the store sees fit... presumably things like buffets, raffles, etc come out of that, as well as any actual gifts to colleagues. I can't say for sure though (hopefully someone else does actually know how it works).
The year before last I got nothing; and when I commented about how the small packet of chocolates I got this time was better than the absolutely nothing I'd got the previous one, some of my colleagues said they'd actually got more the previous year (full crates of beer / lager). Not sure if my portion of the budget was spent on store favourites that year.
Interesting reply,in our store most had nothing yet others were given bottle of wine or Whisy been the same for a few years now

I was not aware of this "budget" - I've always assumed that when I get a christmas card and small gift signed by the management team that it is a direct gift from them. Or maybe the gift is just a write off.
So - this Christmas I got a card (signed by store manager - the management group has shrunk somewhat since previous years) - I got a small box of family favourite biscuits and the £1.25 Cadbury tiny Christmas choc assortment. Inside the card, we got a £1 scratchcard and a raffle ticket - unbeknown to me everyone was entered into a raffle where there was a plethora of prizes - think the top prize was a 40 inch TV. Other prizes were "half a shift off" - and other bits and pieces - chocs/alcohol (wine)/toiletries. I won a Gillette Razor!! - However, I was given my raffle prize before I got the Christmas card - so I knew nothing about the raffle!! Also "won" £2 on the scratchcard.
QuoteCelebration
We are giving you the most flexibility for usage of your celebration budgets, so whether you want to have a
buffet, provide a pizza night, give goody bags or hold a free prize draw, the choice is yours. Having a store
Clubcard in place will also help make the budgets go further.
Your Celebration budget is £6 per head if used through paid out or £8 per head if used through transfers. Your
total amounts will be shared with you in Week 37.
Reminder: This budget is a per head amount to celebrate with all colleagues in your team.
this was from the information, the thank you cards and a few paid days off to use however the store wanted were a part of recognition too for the "cost of living challenges"
know for ours we saw Zilch.
Quick question....do stores still have forums? Are the rules around them that the minutes of the forum meeting must be written up and displayed on the notice board with next steps and manger allocation for reaching the set goal?
My reason for asking is that as a past forum rep, I would fill in the cards myself asking the awkward questions pertaining to be from colleagues. I'd also write their right to remain anonymous. The store manager had blocked some in the past as they hadn't included their name or department, hence the inclusion of "their rights" bit.
The PP was known to sift through them a couple of days prior to the meeting and remove any they didn't like...so mine used to be popped into the box just before the meeting and I'd give it a good shuffle! The box was then opened in the meeting and the cards shared out, sometimes if I got one of my own I'd pretend I was having trouble reading the handwriting :D
So at the next meeting, everyone fill in the cards asking why you didn't get anything from Tesco for a Christmas bonus? Ask for it to be taken to the area forum to be asked why?? The manager will stall and say it's a store matter...so ask for the store response for all the colleagues to understand why?
If the minutes are still required to be displayed, ask when the minutes will be up on the board for all colleagues to read??
Never seen forum board in all atores I've worked in
Literally never bad any minutes shown or what's been talked about at store forum, we've had a night manager who went to one and was told to keep their stuff to themselves though, but thst was a good 7-8 years ago.
Then you should be questioning this with your local USDAW area office, regardless whether you are a union member or not...stores lost their right to vote to strike in favour of the partnership agreement...if you are not a union member USDAW will still be voting on your behalf as they hold the partnership agreement on your behalf.
The forum was brought in for your " right to a voice" the whole idea was for instore colleagues to raise concerns or petty frustrations...some of which could be resolved instore, others needed to be brought to the area forum as unable to resolve instore.
The store MUST have a set amount of forum reps...the store forum MUST listen to every concern raised...the colleagues DO NOT have to reveal their identity or department to raise an issue written on their cards...the store should have all minutes of the meeting recorded in writing...the store should have an allocated person to deal with resolutions to be rectified instore or taken to the area forum, with a name and timescale for completion of each issue raised...the store should have the meeting's minutes with the stated resolutions, by whom and by when displayed on the store colleague notice board, for all colleagues to read.
If this is not the case in your store, then you have a right to request, in writing from your USDAW area office, what the current rules are regarding the store forum, and if your "right to a voice" under the partnership agreement has been eroded or become non existent?
We all got a tub of hero's. Don't even get a Xmas meal anymore as no canteen staff.

What job should be minimum wage?
and if the answer is none then whatever is the lowest becomes the minimum anyway.
Retail at store assistant level is the least qualified and skilled job along with cleaning that a person can do.
That doesnt mean it isnt an important job. but it is at eh bottom of the food chain (no pun intended)
We got absolutely nothing.....
Each store got a budget of approx £5 per colleague for a Xmas treat, our whole team got a tub of heroes, seemed fairer than a meal which only a proportion could attend
Our store as per past few years receive £5 to spend in store on whatever they want for Xmas which is better than nowt
Why only £5? Where'd tbe other £1 go :D
All stores were given £6 per colleague, so did they use the £1 per colleague to do something with for you lot if you actually got something? Know ours didn't get anything at all ???
On the USDAW facebook page last night someone was asking about the "4% bonus in June" and they were told bonus payments are only for salaried staff as we "gave up our bonus to have it incorporated into our hourly pay instead". You'd expect hourly pay to be somewhat higher than the average if it has bonus pay incorporated into it.
we got it in pay but it didn't last long.. 10.10 then 10.30 in the october and then 10.42 minimum wage came in.. so it was quickly overturned... they had to pay us over and even on the new pay deal they made it out like they were doing us a favour but in actuality it was that they just didn't want to be the lowest paid supermarket, so they were the 2nd lowest instead... it'll probably be the same this time..
Lidl go up to 12.30 with service, so I'd say 12.40 would be what they'd go for but wouldn't give us a bonus at all... they avoid it at every turn when asked in questions.
Sainsbury's have announced £12 so I would expect that to be the standard base rate for supermarkets. If we're lucky we might get £12.05, just to keep us a step ahead. The discount supermarkets seem to pay better than the rest so I wouldn't expect to be close to those.

Always irritated me that the Union said we gave up the bonus for higher pay, nobody got a say Tesco simply told the Union it was happaning and the pay increase that year never compensated for the loss of the bonus.
Exactly the lady in the union office when I cancelled paying for it said all union members were balloted about losing our bonus I didn't hear anything neither did anyone else I work with
USDAW = FAKE UNION :thumbdown: (Don't waste your money)
Agree with you, USDAW are a disgrace when it comes to Tesco. One cannot fault the reps in store most of them try there best and want to help but go above that and its just a gravy train thanks to the one sided partnership that no other union would have accepted. Tesco must have thought Christmas had come early the year the partnership was agreed.
Why not ask for a vote on whether to keeitp
It was raised via store forum several times while I worked for Tesco, always thrown out and we were told the partnership is a long term deal and not up for debate.

£5 gift card and one drink at the Christmas party. An a spread of food in the canteen everyday.
What I'm really upset off about is the management all going out for a fancy meal paid for out of the social fund.
The social fund is suppose to be events arrange for all staff, not for specific staff only that is my and a former union redp understanding, yet it regularly raided for manager only events, two leaving meals for managers were also paid for out of the social for which only managers were invited as well. Those three meals, rumored to be 500 quid each could have paid for a open bar at the christmas party, something everyone could attend.
Tesco an Union need to tighten up the rules around the social fund uses and enforce them.

Because Salary boost wasn't that much of a salary boost, the first and only bonus I got paid for a holiday to greece. The salary boost didn't come anywhere near matching that, mostly because they seem to ban overtime for months afterwards to make up the cost of the pay rise.
A 1.50 box of biscuits doesn't match a 300 quid bonus.
2024 bonus incoming:
https://www.ourtesco.com/experience/news-and-views/contents/943645
At one time, any bonus or perks was sent through by internal mail and had to be signed for.
Still got my millennium pen that had to be signed for!
The Tesco management culture now is pure greed and nepotism. There are some fair and honest older managers still about who were trained well and hold the core values.
No one in my old store of over 300 staff got the £5 gift card, they were received into the store and never distributed out to anyone! The store manager was witnessed on many occasions using vouchers in the Costa though :-X
Over 60k salary and still a money grabbing barstool >:(
perhaps they are feeling guilty for delaying paying us the living wage,that's why we ar getting a bonus!
we might be getting the Bonus payments, but it will be taxed so my £309.will be come £220, but its better the nothing at all, :thumbup:
Exactly it's something no one was expecting....
It's what, like £1 extra thry want to pay us in the deal, so the bonus for a full time is £309.44 and the basis of 36.5 x 4 is £146 so half of what we should of gotten as a pay increase? If my math aint as bad 8-)
Managers just been told they're getting 5% bonus. Payrise still pending and hourly get 1.5%
One store manager has stated it's a 45% bonus for them. Wow.wow. wow. Most are lazy bullies misogynistic and out of touch. Don't even talk to the staff that earn it for them. >:D >:D
Managers get 5% this year going up to a possible 10% next yr.
Lead team up to 20% next yr.
so they hit full target then, from the guide on the site the maximum bonus opportunity for WL3 and above, like Store Managers, Distribution / Fulfilment etc is 45% of their Salary... so if they get like what? call it 35k maybe as a median, thats 15k :-X
full time colleague is like £300, manager is what £1100-1500? bit ridiculous to be honest, wonder how many millions for the higher

The problem with all of this is that senior management will always claim that their "base salary" is "low" - and the incentive to be successful is the "high" bonus available for said success.
It will be interesting to see what Ken's total package will be worth - think last year it was £4.8m? From memory - so expecting nearer to £6m?
oh too right the post itself is riddled with managers saying they should get the 5% + the 1.5% colleagues got cause they missed out previous years... the 5% they get 3.5x more money than a colleague is getting already at the least so ridiculous for it considering many claim they are just doing the GA job now but have to answer some calls...
nights at ours spend all their time filling.. they pass off any meetings etc to the 6am crew or get dayshift managers to do it as a late instead... so its ridiculous to say the least from that aspect.
but your not wrong probably another £6m or something and claim its "not much"
Regarding management bonuses - you have to remember that at team manager level the differential between Colleague pay and manager pay has been steadily closing as Colleagues (via minimum wage changes) have seen fairly big pay % rises whilst managers have had a lower %.
For whatever reason SATA (the management part of USDAW) haven't negotiated away the yearly bonus, like they have with colleagues.
I saw in the news that we are supposed to be getting a bonus - but nothing announced in my store yet. We got left out of any Christmas bonuses, but hopefully this one will be announced soon!

Become a store manager and see the c**p and responsibility you have to deal with. Not saying there arn't c**p ones out there but its a job I could do but would i hell want.
It's not really a bonus is it!
It's basically the difference in what they've saved by not giving us the pay increase before April,
The way I see it, is it's back dated pay, but they call it a bonus... as it makes the company look good!

The front end staff should be the one's getting a 5% bonus as they do more work than the managers . It's pretty disgraceful that Tesco have delayed giving us a pay rise and making us work under the minimum wage we deserve to be treated fairly.
I find it VILE that we were given a bonus of 1.5% while managers were GIVEN up to the max of 20%. how on earth is this even fair. some managers in Express are getting bonus of nearly 8/9k. WTAF Not sure what extra store managers are on but how is this even right??

aparently some managers are getting 40-50% bonus which is scandalous you can see some of the comments on my Tesco that managers are asking for the thank you bonus on top of there bonus which is laughable really .., all this bonus is a token payment because we are getting below minimum wage till the 28th if ya full time you are getting say 310 take about half of that off to cover the under payment from April so you're bonus after tax is about 110£ and we are ment to be greatfull .. this is the first time since I've worked for Tescos in my store staff have mentioned striking
Team Managers are only getting 5% bonus no more this year, and I believe Lead Team only upto 10%!
It's only Store managers that are getting above that amount, however their T's&C's are completely different to the rest of the shop!
It's always been that way.
If any Team Manager is saying they are getting above 5% then they are probably just doing to get a reaction from you! Or are going to be very disappointed come May 24th!
Most Team Managers are on £28.5k-31k.
No Team Manager is getting £8/9k I can promise you that.
Most will get around £1 after tax realistically no Team Manager is getting above £2.5 before tax, and they will need to be on £50k!
So basically this "Bonus" is just to cover the month we are being paid under the Living Wage.
Call me cynical but this is how it's looking.
Managers saying "they didn't get a bonus last year" need to realise no one did!
Once again the ones working hard to cover for bad management are under rewarded compared to the incompetent management team!
But in spite of all that let's rejoice at 1.5% when we are working for a month under minimum wage!
Quote from: Scojor on 20-04-24, 09:01PMSo basically this "Bonus" is just to cover the month we are being paid under the Living Wage.
Call me cynical but this is how it's looking.
Managers saying "they didn't get a bonus last year" need to realise no one did!

pretty much hit the nail on the head there there yes it seems it's a token payment really nothing more if you're full time take half of you're bonus off to cover aprils underpayment then after tax what you going be getting 120 if that .. but yet when the results and bonus were announced you had some managers or our Tesco actually complaining that they should get the 1.5% on top of there 5% it's laughable really then you got the bonuses what senior managers are getting which is scandalous but there u go ... it's plain to see now general assistants store colleagues whatever are nothing but numbers nothing more or less and it's the general staff being pushed keeping stores ticking over .. managers moaning about there salary no one ever forced them to take a salary paid job it was there own choice but yet they get thousands of pounds more for doing next to zero work when it's dumped on shift leaders and the departments assistants ..
Quote from: overworkedexpresslad on 18-04-24, 08:55PMI find it VILE that we were given a bonus of 1.5% while managers were GIVEN up to the max of 20%. how on earth is this even fair. some managers in Express are getting bonus of nearly 8/9k. WTAF Not sure what extra store managers are on but how is this even right??
Sounds right to me. :thumbup:

But it's ok for managers to moan about a job no one forced them to take?!!
Amazing how much better things are going with less management, just a shame the best of a bax bunch were kept!
Role on the next reshuffle!

Just rise above BooHoo/ nowanexmanager's posts. This person just reinforces the toxic management culture that Tesco promotes and has nothing better to do in their day than sit and try and stir up trouble. Ignore them and hopefully they will get back in their box.
EDIT Sorry this was aimed more at Scojur.
