Asda Colleague Handbook Holidays In 2017-2018. Banks conduct these transfers on their own behalf as well as for the benefit of other financial service providers and bank customers, both corporate and consumer. Most of these retail transactions are initiated by customers rather than by banks or corporate users.
Whilst working at ASDA I have gained a lot of new friends and experiences. When I joined nearly two years ago I was not expecting to get along with the majority of the staff there because of the age gaps. But everybody welcomed me with open arms, and not just on my department of the store but everywhere else.
One of the main benefits of working there was that I received a 10% discount card which I could use on anything in the store, ranging from the cafe to household items. The management are always quite stern but it is understandable because it was their job to make sure the store was running to the best of its ability. The hardest part about the job is probably getting up in the morning to start my shift! I work for 8 hours and begin my shift at 6:00am and during this shift I am in charge of putting out the newspapers of a morning and replenishment of stock on the Home and Leisure department. Night shift colleagues normally start at 10pm and are supposed to finish at 6am.
However that is not the case. In fact we normally finish at 8 or 9 am (until the task is finished). They treat you like a robot as you are often dealing with heavy loads and alot of work in such a short amount of time; which makes you wonder how much work day shift do as night staff do everything. The pay is good and the discount is okay however it isn't worth the stress and ill treatment. Management are very ungrateful and believe that your life revolves around ASDA, they have a lot of pressure. I started working night shift in asda around 6 months ago and currently only do two shifts.
The pay is great especially for young people. However the company and management is terrible. They dont care about the colleagues or how much work you have to do during your shift, they tell you to Finnish your delivery by a certain time that they get given called a case rate which has never been accurate in my experience.
Usually you can finish your delivery in a night easily and even go on to help others. But sometimes deliveries are too large and just not possible to finish or you get really bad spliter palettes that are given to you near the end of your shift. One of my managers in particular dosent take this into consideration and is often quite rude when you take longer to do something even when it's out of your own control. I've noticed the day shift management dont pass on information to night management and often can cause problems and confusion and it's just not really good enough.
It can sometimes cause problems to your shift as some people call in sick and night management has no idea or your on holiday and they didn't know and this could result in you being disciplined for not turning up to work but in reality its their mistakes. I remember one of my managers thought I had quit but I was only on holiday.
When I first started management phoned me a few times to see if I could come in on a certain night for overtime however I said no each time and they never get phone calls any more. I'm sure if I was to ask if I could do some overtime they would give me some anyway. At the end of the day its Asda its a rubbish job and it shows in the people that run it and the state of the stores the only good thing about the place is pay and benifts. Such as 10% off all year and 20% off for about a week a couple times of the year.

I'm open to correction here, but I think the 28 days minimum, includes 10 days statutory bank holidays. So the true annual leave figure may be 18 days. Yep The basics of holiday rights There is a minimum right to paid holiday, but your employer may offer more than this. I'd scrap Bank Holidays all together and just let people decide when THEY want time off. They're wasted days really.
The joy of using an annual leave day is that you can do what you like, wake up at 9am, indulge in an hour of daytime TV, even though you don't really like it the guilty pleasure takes over, potter down the the shops, get a paper and a spot of food and then come back and do yourself something nice to eat. Later on have a drive or a walk into town see what's around, get that new jacket you've been meaning to get for weeks now. Then perhaps meet up with an old friend in a pub of an afternoon, or go for a stroll along the beach with the dog and your loved one. But no a bank holiday and it's full of idiots who think that because they have a day off work they think it's acceptable for them to be let out into the community.
Traffic jams, noise, kids everywhere, queues and nowhere is open. I hate bank holidays for what they are.
