how do you work that out you have to have one by law with the national living wage increase lol

OK let me rephrase it. The payrise wouldn't have been as good then. I really don't understand the vast majority of the moaning twerps on here, just leave and work somewhere else

wait, 10% extra for sunday? Im in the middle of TUPE and was told there are no premiums

Absolutely disgusting.
How can they boast of increasing managers night pay by £1000?, and yet give nothing to those who actually do all the graft. No wonder they're struggling so hard to find and retain night staff. We recently got 4 new starters and 3 have quite already, saying the workload is too heavy. I guess a lot of us old timers are used to killing ourselves every night.
Also why include staff discount in the deal? Who the hell on GA pay is gonna spend £20,000 a year in Tesco?
Absolute joke.

Supposedly still negotiating about shift leaders and nothing will be announced until later this year so takes the ca's closer to my pay so my job is literally not worth it tbf...

Anyone know details about the location pay? Does that mean we are losing our current location pay (but potentially gaining the new one?)

Quote from: Happyshopper on 05-03-24, 02:11PMI still think there should definitely be a different pay band for extra and express.. especially in a fuel site for express.

CA in a express has far more roles than a extra same for express

I agree 100%

I wonder if with the singular location pay it'll mean the end of any supplement payments.

Quote from: expresscoop on 05-03-24, 02:38PMwait, 10% extra for sunday? Im in the middle of TUPE and was told there are no premiums

"New starters" (from July 2022 I think) get no Sunday premium. So I'm guessing that might include you?

Did you get a premium with Co-op? (I presume you worked for them?)

It's £2,000

Not sure what you mean by "supplement" payments?

As for location pay - obviously we will need to wait for the full details to be put up on ourtesco - but currently we have several different location pay bands - not just inner/outer London.

So let's wait and see.

Spend "approx" £20k to get £2k discount.

And with the new rules on 2nd card, it's a bit easier than it has been.

I was on the till a few weeks ago - and a customer asked me when the discount reset as she had already used it all.
I asked "how" (politely) and she explained that she didn't even work for Tesco - but it was her mum's 2nd card - and she said she'd only had the 2nd card since Sept (which made it even harder to understand how someone could use the allowance that quickly!!) - she then told me that her mum spends about £150 a week in T and she (2nd card holder) spent £200+ per week.
So if discounts are potentially being used by families with "higher household income" then it's fairly easy to see.
I still think you need a certain set of circumstances to actually "need" to spend that much -
I don't have pets or children - so that reduces my spend - I don't spend much on alcohol - so that's another area of potential high spend.

Yes. So to benefit from the full £2000 discount, you have to spend £20,000. 🙄

Might be less than 20k as you get 15% off at paydays.....

But still I can't imagine the bulk of the workforce considered the need to increase the cap as their most pressing concern

I would agree that 99.99% of B/C colleagues would happily reduce the discount level back to £1000 if it meant Sunday premiums back to 25% and base pay up to £12.25!!!

How easy to unpick this official press release:

"Tesco has reached an agreement with trade union USDAW that will significantly increase the hourly pay rate for colleagues in stores, from £11.02 to £12.02 which is above the Real Living Wage."

.....which is TWO PENCE above the real living wage. Thanks T!!!

"This new rate will come into effect from April 2024" -if what we hear is correct, then my answer to this is ......virtually at the end of April 2024


"Tesco remains one of the few supermarkets to recognise an independent trade union and negotiate pay rates"

Yeah right - we all feel so privileged.


"Continuing to be one of the few retailers that still pays a Sunday premium, for colleagues who joined Tesco before 24 July 2022. The percentage rate will change from 17% to 10% with the actual value increasing from £12.89 to £13.22 per hour on a Sunday." - otherwise known as an increase of 33p per hour on a Sunday (less than 3%) - and that followed a "freezing" of that pay last year. So that's a "less than 3% increase to Sunday pay over two years".

I could do more.....including a nice inspiring message from our new UK CEO (Matthew Barnes) - who I'm sure will appreciate the £2k discount allowance so that he can buy lots of Gym Kitchen Premium meal deals!!

Quote from: universe on 05-03-24, 11:15AMSo we won't see this £12.02 in our pockets till 24th may ??

We're further increasing your hourly rate by £1.00 from £11.02 to £12.02 - our biggest ever percentage increase in your pay in a single year.

This 9.1% increase will come into effect from 28 April and will be reflected in your pay on 24 May pay day.

Confirmed on ourtesco!!

Skills payment for break cover step up in express will this be the same as it is now it increases to shift leader rate while covering breaks etc ??

Completely wrong.

£14.28 now for a shift leader, the same increase as a CA.

No mention of location pay on colleague help, just about the inner/outer London pay.

tend to be a bit slow confirming all the details - but no details of any other "location pay changes" - so assumption is that there is no change. Let's all go to the I of M and work in one of their nine new stores for 83p ph location pay!!

I hope location pay for outside the M25 is staying. Otherwise it doesn't end up being much of an increase for us at all.

Yeah - I fully understand that so no need for the eye roll-I would've preferred 15% all year but it is what it is.
