I've phoned hmrc for tax refund and was told I can claim refund after the 30th of June so be waiting another hour in that date for my tax refund as they wouldn't tell me either how much refund I'd be having payed over 11k on my redundancy after the tax fee amount was deducted which left 28k to be taxed

Also I've had reply about my accrued holidays which will be payed out on the next pay date of the 23th of this month

Quote from: PurpleRose on 07-06-23, 08:32AMStore Manager will give an admin access, as they have with me, but in theory the managers are to start doing it themselves.

The Wages role in my view will actually be gone by October this year.

We've been told its secure but its obvious it is not. Managers are to now input all absences themselves soon as the sick call comes in and all overtime shifts have to be accepted via the app. Gone are  the days a manager will stay ''can you do 10 - 7'' and deal with it as an exception. It must be accepted officially as a shift and the store leads and store manager can see it all. They are getting detailed reports which will go back several weeks so anything on frog such as unpicking, allocated overtime etc will be seen.

So there should be next to no exceptions within a few weeks. So what will the wage clerk be doing for 6 hours you have to wonder..

This subject maybe needs to be rested as has now little resemblance to the original post as managers about to be demoted happened way back in April.

So today I've been told by Tesco that HRMC
Are wrong when they told me that Tesco had not given the correct information.
From what I can understand is that Tesco have said that my last date of employment was the 29th April but then for May 26th when we got the redundancy this has triggered the discrepancy as when you check P45 it says 4 weekly so that is why I am  being taxed so much.The whole year allowance has been used rather than 2 months. They have today changed it to May 27th as last payment on their system and said I can't do anything until 30th of June as you have to wait 35 days. It's not worth trying to get help from Tesco as they are adamant they are correct .

Has anyone else called and got confirmation of money coming back to them?

I have got through to hmrc and they've told me the exact figure they owe me and that it will be in my next pay in my new job. They've said if for some reason it doesn't I'm to ring straight back and they will issue a cheque instead. They were dead helpful to me even gave me a higher figure than I expected back

Forgetmenot, thank you. I may be re-entering the world of work in the next few weeks so will just wait for the PAYE system in a new job to deduce it all!

I called Hmrc and was told they can't do anything until end of financial year

Received cheque today so all sorted I'm going self employed for next job and didn't want to wait till next year to get the money back which I'm entitled to now !!good luck!

Err...I think they're telling porkies 

You will have been taxed on predictive earnings for the remaining financial year...you can wait for a refund from them next year or request one now, especially so if you're taking time out from working.

Hope all those taking time off for now have taken their redundancy letters to the job centre to register for JSA

The 6 months payments won't be backdated or extended...only payable from redundancy date.

Store Manager told me on Friday she is expecting Wages to go in October and Admin to be scaled right back.  Managers will be expected to do their own absence coding.  All overtime shifts must be accepted on mytesco.  None are allowed to be allocated.  I said "what happens if someone is asked to stay back an hour?" She said "that can be inputted manually but it has to be done there and then".  The goal is zero exceptions going forward.  Repeated offenders of mis-clocking will also go to investigation, anyone who mis-clocks will start receiving let's talks.

Can I ask if wages going in October is it a redundancy situation or hours mopped up in store?

Doubt anyone will be offered redundancy. It will most likely be protected pay for 6 months/12 months and that's it. You'll probably get a primary department but like everyone else now you will be put where ever the scheduler needs you to be. 

Its a joke though, the new app has crashed yet that is the future.

Re Lets Talks for mis-clocking. I thought this was the norm? at least it is in my store.  Our SM gets the weekly report from TAM on the biggest offenders.

Overtime shifts must be done through ourtesco, does not help when someone calls in sick and they need cover that day. I pick up a reasonable amount of overtime this way as I live close to the store and, if I'm free, don't mind coming in for a few hours in the evening. Good luck trying to do that via the online system.

I assume that if they put it through on the frog that won't create an exception, which is what I assume they're trying to reduce.

If overtime is needed within 24hrs it can be authorised by your manager.

Surely just clocking in and out will override anything.

No because that would cause an exception. This is the thing Tesco want to move away from.

So if I get a call today asking me to go out on a 6pm van rather than a 7pm van as contracted that my boss has to recorded that change on frog(?) before I clock in to avoid an exception being generated?

That's correct Gomezz - your TM would have to go onto FROG & adjust your start and finish time (or add on any extra hours for today's shift).

Can be done up to 24 hours beforehand if I understand things correctly.

I wonder if they will alter the 3 minute allowance once the wages clerks go,we have several old school staff who turn up 3 minutes late for work and still leave 3 minutes early,thus gaining 6 minutes from the company every shift

Just as an update on how life is outside of the big T.
It was nice to have time off, but it has been stressful applying for jobs as you still have that self doubt whether you are still employable ( no matter the transferable skills ).
Well, today I have just accepted a job that is out of retail, less hours and five grand more than my yearly wage as a line manager.
At times I've doubted those that have said 'things are better once you leave', now I truly believe it.
To all of you who are searching, or worried about re entering the job market, don't be. With patience, it definitely is better once you leave!

So the 3 minutes at clock in/out making 6 minutes overall has now gone any clarification

No it hasn't.

Received Bank transfer today for my owed Accrued Holiday pay. 

If you clock out 3 minutes early does it come up as an exception?
