Hey, does anyone know if induction and training is paid at the same rate as your normal rate of pay? I did 10 hours all up and got paid slightly less than my wage rate. No biggie but just wondering how it works.
maybe training is paid at the probation rate? induction certainly isSarah168 said:Hey, does anyone know if induction and training is paid at the same rate as your normal rate of pay? I did 10 hours all up and got paid slightly less than my wage rate. No biggie but just wondering how it works.

(Do you get free alcohol for being a liquor assistant? )
They only differ by about 60c/hr but the money I was paid for induction varied by more than $3/hr from my wage rate.townie said:maybe training is paid at the probation rate? induction certainly is
Yeh when you are training you generally have to fit in with their times.mouz said:Can anyone help, i have a problem here. I applied for a service cashier position and got the job, I had my induction and was told to call up my store to find out when they would require me to work.
So i called up my store and they said if I could come in on Thursday when I'd be at the register with another worker (as I have no idea how to operate registers and wasn't tought how to, as part of the induction). Only problem is when i gave in my availability times Thursday was not part of them. Soo whyyyy are they telling me to come on Thurs, should I just go?? And also when are they gonne gimme the roster?? Any help would be great! Thanks.
Hey it isnt like maths with algebra and stuff like that right? cause i cant do that efficientlyresume said:To obtain a position at Woolworths that utilizes my strong mathematical abilities, good people skills and hard-working nature. I’m highly motivated and talented and believe my skills can be used with great success at Woolworths.
Totally correct. I had my details on their database for a year and a half, but when i applied for a specific position, i had an interview within 2 days of submitting an application.Sarah168 said:Try to apply for a specific position on the site rather than a general application.
The induction videos are sooooo BORING. They're just so general and aren't relevant at all for those on checkouts. I mean, if you were in deli or nightfill then maybe they wouldnt be so boring, but there wasn't one bit of useful information (that wasn't just common sense) for checkout staff.Sarah168 said:I kept yawning during the videos .

As if you even need that.Sarah168 said:No, you just gotta be able to add and subtract properly to avoid issues at the register.
oh i mean the whole employment process (ref post 1)Excalibur_ said:Well, it isn't for Safeway...which is why I mentioned it.
I remember being told explicitly that everyone is employed as a casual during probation, and people don't usually get given a contract until after it.
