Looking for advice on breaks are tesco allowed to allot times when you can or not take a break ?

viperex, the only thing they don't like is breaks being taken in the last hour of your shift.

As I keep saying.  It's crystal clear that admins are the one's at risk here.  People keep saying 'but the 42p they will save by removing wage clerks...' well if they ditch all admins they actually save more 

Need to find out what I can & can't do.

Breaks topic.

Yes, it's standard practice in many industries for break times to be assigned - retail is no different, provided that things like the 6 hour rule are obeyed.

On Yammer before it went two Wage Clerk's came on and said they had come into work and not been able to sign on!  The Company/Manager's had not told them they were trial stores and since May they have done no wages work as no sign on from that day Manager's are doing there exceptions!  So perhaps both jobs Wages & Admin going!

  Don't think they would let admin go with recruiting etc for Xmas inductions! 

Also on here there has been 2 people that have said they have been told by their SM's etc that its WC going!!  We just need to know when job actually becomes extinct and what options we have if any!

Loving all the speculation on here as usual .... however ... my next door neighbour's cleaning lady's gransdon's girlfriend's brother-in-law overheard a man at the pub telling the barmaid how he had eavesdropped on a conversation a woman was having with her "gym buddy's" boyfriend's cousin .... 

My hunch is that we will hear Wages is going in week 25 and that Admin will be reduced in hours.  They will probably keep Admin on until Xmas recruitment is over.

Remember the whole reason of shift leaders was so managers did their own admin/wages. They made this very clear when the change was announced. This has been on the cards for a long time so it amazes me people are acting all surprised. 

In regards to what happens when the Wage Clerk is off throughout the current access fiasco. Our Store Manager has confirmed the Stock/Admin manager has to do it.

Yes they are, no they're not. Yes they are, no they're not. Yes they are are..............YAWN YAWN YAWN - get a grip everyone

No the Sore/Admin won't it was confirmed that their access will be stopped along with everyone else only WC & SM!

I'm talking about between now and then. The company policy which came down with the latest coms is that admins are not to touch wages.. no account sharing should be taking place and if the SM and the Wage clerk are off at the same time it's the admin/stock manager who gets temporary People Access

Admin/Stock Manager? What's one of those? My store hasn't had one for 2 years for various reasons, lol.   

But, most Large Stores have!

Looks like HQ have listened, sort of, from week 25 this is the plan for admin/wages for the time being.

Only the Store Manager and Wage Clerk should have People Access. However larger stores like Extras will be allowed to allocate one Admin Colleague People Access as cover. So if you are in an Extra with two or more Admins then get ready for the drama when your Manager has to decide which one of you gets People Access and which one doesn't!

Well week 25 has gone and nothing said regarding wage clerks, and admin along with quite a few others still have people access

I told you all Wages wasn't going and no one believed me 😆  but by now no admin should have People Access. That's a company wide thing so if any Admin still has it they will be getting it removed at some point

Yes Admiins do have access so do Stock/Admin Manager's week 25 went and they didn't take it away!  But, as they are trailing Manager's doing their own exceptions easier method than for WC it is Wage Clerk's job that will go!  If you look at WC role it's about 7 functions most of them were on HRAM so as the Colleagues will be doing own absences the Manager's doing exceptions nothing left todo!  But, admin roles is several pages! Think they are isolating WC so job diminishes!

Coms came down in May and then again in July to repeat that Admin Colleagues will lose People Access. You can't dispute this as its fact     

If you admins still have access its probably because they haven't got round to removing it from everyone yet. 3000 colleagues were to sort through.

They are removing access from admins except Extras etc with only 1 Wage Clerk!  Then 1 admin!  Also you won't need people access once Manager's doing own exceptions will you so they are waiting on all the stores doing the trial! At those stores Wage Clerk has done nothing worked on Shopfloor only does reports on Monday! So that's why wage clerk is the one to go! 

Our store is currently trialing no admin or wage clark, to honest no ones noticed any difference, managers now over see it.

what hapened to the people in those 2 roles then?

Probably shop floor, our wage ones are shop floor worker / stock controllers now 🤷�♂️

Quote from: oldfashionedplayer on 23-08-23, 08:32PMProbably shop floor, our wage ones are shop floor worker / stock controllers, have been for long while, believe they did a hour of wages, been that way for more than a year or so when they trialed it out.

our wage clerk is full time mon-fri,but just sits in the office her whole shift,most of the time chatting to others or looking at instagram/facebook on her phone,we had one manager a couple of years ago who said she had to join in with rumble,but she escaped that by going to costa or hiding in her car whilst it was in progress,she is one of those "nobody can do my job,except me" people,and because she has never been managed properly,seems to get away with blue murder,her desk is full of costa cups and she does not wear the blue uniform tops,as she claims she is an office worker,so wears her own clothes,she even had someone turn up and do her nails in company time once,she just signed them in as a visitor and put the meeting in progress sign on the office door

In my store we have had delivery reduced massively before we use to receive 60 cages on big delivery day now we recive 35 on delivery days we also have missing delivery gas anyone else noticed this?
