How much per hour?(Uk)

Question

Im 17 and started working as a checkout person at Morrisons Supermarket. My pay is £4.17 an hour but i got told it would go up in a certain amount of time because i will be handling cash. Ive been there 2 weeks an get paid weekly. I'll get paid tomorrow. Does anyone know how long before i get paid the £5 something they said?

Answer 1

Ask them if they have a policy in writing and what it says.

Answer 2

I'm going to be blunt with you, Morrison's more than likely will keep you on a probationary rate for a year so it may take a year to get the raise.  While your there take any courses they offer then look for another job and bolt it when you get a better offer.  Big companies have absolutely no loyalty to you so you act the same accordingly.  Your young you don't want to waste 5 years of your life on c**p wages being treated like c**p.

Answer 3

usually if it is a hiring raise it will happen after 90 days, but look over your hire and training packet it should have the details in there.

Answer 4

You need to ask your employer.

maybe you should get somewthing in writing from them,confirming any "promises"

Answer 5

There are three levels of minimum wage, and the rates from 1st October 2007 are:

£5.52 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older

A development rate of £4.60 per hour for workers aged 18-21 inclusive

£3.40 per hour for all workers under the age of 18, who are no longer of compulsory school age.

2008

The national minimum wage will rise to £5.73 an hour in October, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced.

It will rise by 3.8% from £5.52. For 18 to 21-year-olds the rate will be £4.77, up from £4.60, while 16 to 17-year-olds will get £3.53, up from £3.40.
