    Does anyone know how to access our playslips? Cannot figure out this thing at all. :confused: Logged into the allyours replacement, successfactors and all its showing is an employee profile at 0% and job postings (can't find payslips or rosters anywhere). And whats the deal with a google+...

    You got it. Just wear that, bring all the documents you need to bring as well (tax file number, citizenship) so they can enter you into payroll system.

    Really, you can search STAR reports of OTHER stores on store net?? Why didn't I think of that lol. Keeping on topic, scanning rate really means nothing other than impressing your CSM and 2IC (the store's overall scan rate gets tied to their performance review, so they'll like you a whole lot...

    Haha, i dont even shop at my work woolies and that's my local. Every time you walk in as a regular joe customer, it still feels like working even when you're not. Then once someone a team member or customer spots you, gotta do the whole stop-for-5mins-and-chat, which drags out your in-and-out-...

    GL man. Several full-time staff also quit at our store in the past week or so. Massive holes all over the roster + dept managers being told they can't rehire new staff due to budgetary wage constraints means i'm getting calls at bloody 7:30am EVERY morning from CSM to come in. Good thing i set...

    Heard from the grocery manager, woolies milk supply chain is suffering a shortage in production. According to parlamat, who supplies woolies private brand milk (at least in NSW), its all due to the inclement weather earlier this week. Sounds like the dairy farmers got put in a tough spot and...

    I feel like this question was just tailor-made for me haha. Geez, where do I start? Broke the sign-on fingerprint scanner out of frustration because it kept rejecting my finger like a million times after a VERY long shift (whole store had to sign adjustments ....for an entire week! office...

    Normal ordinary rate is $20.14/hr, but you'll be on junior employee rate which when your 18yo is 70% of the full wage rate. So that works out to be... 20.14 x 70% = $16.11 (yeah, its not much :p) This is subject to change however as the current Woolies EBA is about to expire and new wage...

    So, I did a relief close shift just the other day at a small "metro" store. And when it got down to closing time, noticed that their closing announcement was quite different from my own store's one. Just out of curiosity, which format is 'your' stores closing call more similar to?? Our store...

    Shouldn't be as bad as Thursday night which was stupidly ridiculous!! We're only closed for just one day before reopening but with the crowds at 9pm, you'd think its the end of the world. Oh and is anyone starting to getting tired of hot cross buns & broken chocolate eggs in the lunch room lol...

    Its pretty cruisy, did a relief shift in liquor and enjoyed it. Just watch for IDs, thats the hard part because specific types of people are really tough to pick age-wise (e.g young asian girls) so it's best to be overzealous and ask frequently, even if the customer turns out to be 27 years old...

    Aldi will definitely impact you guys alot. Maybe not first 2 weeks but once people find out where it is and starts to get traction, you will feel it. I reliefed for fairly busy city store whose sales where $1.4mil a week, and it dropped to just under a mil because aldis was just around the...

    Ouch. Def sucks to be on the recieving end of someones rant. Regarding the supervisor numbers, its normal practice that stores periodically audit their internal systems & supervisor number priveldges in storeline is a common one. I wouldn't worry about it too much as you can always get someone...

    My current roster is Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday so won't have to worry about missing any of those public holidays, well for this time around at least. Last year, remember earning over $1000 after tax which was real nice. Anyone who isn't work those days, my advice is start sucking up to...

    Haha yes to all of the above. I'm pretty chill as a supervisor myself and don't call people to 'return to service' exactly after 15minutes and 0 seconds have elapsed cause its short enough as it is when you include walking time to the lunch room. Bit of give and take I find works best...

    Well in random news, the CEO stopped by our store today. God knows why because were just a little, average, slightly run-down joint compared to many others in the region. Maybe he's just savouring his last days in the top job cause according to media outlets, he's gonna be given the flick for...

    I'm a new Woolworths employee, Can i get some help please?

    Lets see here, ill try to decipher what i can for you: CAS ORD: means your ordinary or normal payrate. because currently employed as a casual, you'll be getting 20% more per hour than a part-time worker (though you dont get benefits like annual leave or sick leave) D3 IND 20%: possibly means...

    Sounds a little dodgy to me. One of our regular customers is a competition/loyalty card fanatic who signs up for and enters anything and everything - and considering she won a holiday and ipad air last year, shes got form. Remember the topic of 'everyday rewards' come up one time and she talked...

    Pay Issues

    On face value, sounds like there taking advantage of your naivety and inexperience. Do they issue you with a weekly payslip or just pay you via bank transfer/cash-in-hand? The payslip should explicitly show your pay rates across periods such as sundays and public holidays (which can be used as...
