Role on Work and Pay

Planning thing for week sixteen under selected activity - nice to know they don't even attempt to hide role decimation anymore 

What does this mean?

sounds like admin won't have access to work and pay anymore.

Stock admin manager picks up price integrity and still has job 14 and cash office

Job 14 going to department. Cash office is nothing but signing paper work once a week. Price Integrity workload getting less as promotion change window going from 3 weeks to 4/6. Stock and admin manager job be gone in 6 months.

PI getting less? Yeah right. The workload is bigger than ever with constant price increases regardless of promotion cycles.

I work in Admin so what does this mean for me? is my role at risk?

Does this also mean the cash office role is at risk?

If all my access to work and pay/frog etc is being taken away I wonder what I'm going to be left doing as Admin? and if Wages is being cut back as well does that mean Managers are expected to now do all their own exceptions, holidays and change of hours/contracts etc?

Can anyone confirm anything?

I'd suggest you clue up on redundancy terms, rather than just becoming redeployed into another department 

In terms of the Admin role - does the role pack on Colleague Help reflect what you do currently (please forgive my ignorance).

Am wondering if the role is to remain but to operate differently hence the 'removal' on Work and Pay (rather than the role being made obsolete?)

As for PI - in week 18 they are changing the order of the labels so you walk to whatever is nearest, rather than up & down aisles, as this is quicker "apparently".

With regards to exceptions-
If managers put shifts on frog in advance & duty removes any absences....then colleagues clock in/out

There won't be any.

Holidays are submitted via the app and once approved go onto work and pay - again if everyone followed the correct procedure there would be nothing to do.

I highly doubt they will offer me redundancy. The deli staff didn't get offered it so admin colleagues won't.

This company is now terrible to work for. The fact we have no idea if our jobs are secure is a disgusting way to run a business. How many of these restructures do they need?

The new app will take away the need for admin and wages to assist with holidays. Exceptions are a lot lower than what they used to be, at least in ours and can in theory be done within an hour . So I think we always expected Wages to be scaled back or go. Its the shock of ditching Admin that I didn't see coming.

But in reality what does Admin do? Apart from doing inductions they largely do part of the management teams role or else do loads of store specific made up tasks.....

A lot of what Admin do usually keep the store legal. Of course the managers could do it and probably should have the time once the shift leaders are working as they should be.

I doubt admin or wages will go completely because what sort of impact will those colleagues not being there have on Xmas recruitment?

The important word in your post is 'allegations'

I remember there being talk ages ago that PI could be at risk but I can't see how they could ever ditch it given price changes are a daily occurrence.

Is PI a skill payment? maybe its that they pain to cut.

No PI does not have a skill payment

Think the PI plan is to have less promotions and more long term low prices so in simple terms rather than baked beans prices changing every 4 weeks it changes once a year.

Plans which are just cuts and short cuts aren't long term plans.

Just to add devaluing which is all it amounts to, jobs and roles makes working for them less attractive by the day.

Food prices usually change with inflation though do they not?

Its hard to see how they ditch PI. It will always be needed in some form. Even if they give it to each department that still means someone doing it. Although the idea we actually have departments now is a joke itself. 

And yet they still want us to take responsibility for these non departments.

What will happen to cash office staff? Will they be non existing? Who signs the paper work does change order? Who takes cash delivery. The wage cletks have been screwed over now, no redundancy for them. Used and abused again
