my reg started talking to me the other day....was a bit interesting
supervisor looked just as confused as I was
no idea what it said, but figured all I had to do to make it shut up was reset the scales

Yeah sometimes the barcode scanner will say something like "scanner needs to be cleaned" if it thinks it's dirty - i've had it happen a few times before

Just had my second shift tonight.
I'm wondering about pay day and such.
I had my induction Sunday which we were told we'd be paid for 4 and a half hours. I had a 3 hours shift Tuesday and a three hour shift tonight (Friday).
I haven't been paid for anything.
So what is the pay day for Coles? Should I have been paid? Or will I get paid next week.
Also, do you get a pay slip? Do you have to go collect it/ask for it or do they give it to you? Etc. I haven't been told any of this, and this is my first job.

Payday is officially Wednesday, however my bank (ANZ) usually gets the money by 8pm tuesday and some banks don't get the money until Thursday.

Which department are you in? I'm in Service so the supervisor usually has the payslips ready for when you go to find out which register you're on otherwise I believe they're in the POS room.

And there are two parts to your induction: the online training stuff which I think the 4.5 hours comes from, and then your in-store inductions which you should get paid for.

I'm working in the Deli. Have our own manager in there and such though I haven't been told about payslips.
We were told we were getting paid for the in-store induction, and I've been told I have to do the online one once I get my employer number, which I haven't yet. I've been told it takes about 6 hours.

So should I have been paid for the Sunday and Tuesday, or would I get paid next Wednesday for the lot?

I usually get paid on the Tuesday night like bdude mentioned, but sometimes a few days later - particularly if the Monday has been a public holiday.

You are paid for the week beginning Monday and ending Sunday. So one pay would be the Sunday, then the Tuesday would be in your next pay. As you've just started you might receive it all at once. I know I had an issue with my bank details so I wasn't paid for 2 weeks (I did go on holidays the day after induction so it wasn't sorted until I got back) - fixed up my bank details and was paid that very day.

At my store there is a little box for the payslips outside the main office (out the back) so we just go there and get it ourselves. It's sorted by departments and then alphabetically so its pretty easy to find.

Is it too late to try and get a casual position for the xmas period? Woolworths never responds..

Woolworths doesn't? Lol I've never had a response from Coles ever, lol.
But yes, i'd say it is to late, but you can try.

You can try your local store. The Coles down the road from me is looking for staff at the moment.

took me about two weeks after i started to get paid for the induction/other work i did, and this wasn't until after i got my # so my first pay cheque was ridiculous.
