An update on the Admin/Wages situation. My partner who has been an Admin now for 3 years got told last week that Colleague Admin will be phased out after Xmas. Wages is staying. The phase out for Admin was supposed to be announced in April this year hence them all losing People Access but they stalled it. Its now back on. Expect the info to drop down on Coms in the coming weeks

What's that got to do with pay review 2023 topic?

Told by who?

Well Bobmay and his Nights redundancy is taking up all the other threads!

I don't think this will happen a) because the reason to take the People Access away was to reduce down to Wage Clerk's to isolate them and reduce their work load down! B) So they didn't have to pay their skill payment! C) As the Manager's do the WC work  there will be nothing left! But there is lots of Admin work eg. Recruitment, filing, First Aid, Inductions, etc. Its already happened in some Stores no Wage Clerk's or they just go in to do Weekly Reports!  Then they will pickup the odd bits left around Wages with no skill payment as they did with Cash Office etc.

I love how they're boasting about profits etc... on our Tesco app!
And all the comments say something along the lines of pay rise/ bonus for us in stores!
Would be nice if they would consider us low wage workers for a change

Has anyone ever thought that this is where the title of wage admin could become instead of wage clerk and colleague admin? could be a possible combination of both??

Today's stats about average wage growth of 7.8% surely means that the NLW will rise to more than £11 (even a 7% rise would be to £11.15) - and the Govt have this aim to meet 2/3 of the mean average wage by 2024 - and we were already "behind the curve" in 2023 - i.e. even if average wages had remained flat then NLW would have needed to rise to meet the 2/3 target.

All the concrete data we have to go on so far is that Jeremy Hunt has stated that the National Living Wage will go up to "at least" £11 an hour next April. But it's certainly probable to be more than that and that Lidl now has a starting rate of £11.40 an hour implying that will be the floor of what the next pay review figure will be (though it's certainly more likely to be higher than that given the economic environment.)

The next bit of concrete data will be what the real living wage goes up to at the end of October, that will likely form the solid indication as to what Tescos next pay review figure will be, it has certainly been the case that historically they have at least matched the Real Living Wage figure after all.

Though pay growth certainly suggests that the National Living Wage will go past £11 an hour, and it's certainly more likely to do so than to meet it, the average pay growth is across all industries and a large chunk of that would have been from the 9.7% pay increase in the National Living Wage this year.

The coming year, the economy is transitioning materially in 2 distinct ways.
Those are that inflation will not be high as it was (forecasts reckon it will fall between 3-5% by next April compared to around 10% in April this year) and unemployment is rising as the increased cost of borrowing is starting to bite into businessses finance.

Due to increased unemployment's effects on GDP and tax revenues, and because of our national debt being over 100% of GDP, the low pay commission has to take into account ways to prevent further unemployment and one of the ways they do this is by balancing any national living wage increase to meet socioeconomic needs as well as business viability.

This is why, though pay growth figures suggest it's likely for the national living wage to be above £11 an hour, the other factors in play limits how high it can go.

If I was a betting man, I think between £11.20-£11.25 is what it will go up to next April and as a result of that, Tesco will pay its CAs around £11.82 an hour.

Great Post, thanks 

 

 

With loss of sundays and bank holdiays premiums for all? what about increasing the match rate for pensions?

In the above stated scenario of the base rate reaching £11.82, the sunday premium would reduce to £1.07 per hour since the maximum hourly rate for a GA on a sunday is £12.89.

Think Sunday premium will be wiped out soon so nearly time to drop Sundays .

Once base rate hits £12.89 sunday premium will be gone.....or at least thats what they led us to believe in the last pay review...it will reduce as base rate increases until £12.89 is met at which point sunday premiums will cease to exist.

I get paid 16npound an hour on Saturday nights which includes night premium and Sunday premiums. If they do increase it by 1 pound an hour ut would mean we would get 17 pound an hour on Saturday night shift

I'm leaving this site as I'm sick of hearing about Bombays pay on every single post and thread,take care everyone else and good luck in future 

Yeah, needs blocking, pain in the arse taking up every thread.

💯%  I have posted exactly the same he blocks every thread so annoying!!

I heard on the grapevine that nights are here to stay, but pay frozen for the foreseeable future, in fact Ken Murphy went on record saying he loves night's and that they'll never be made redundant

Are we able to block someone who is posting ourselves?
I've wondered this for a while.

I don't think we can. Would be an admin issue, they'd have to remove him I'd imagine. Not sure what's happening admin wise since the passing of Nomad.
Perhaps we need a poll and vote bobmay off the island.

Sure if he was booted he could just post under another name??
