for the assessments you are meant to sit down with your manager and talk about your progress so far at work, when i did it the boss said everything was fine and completed the form...depends on how much time the manager has to give you some pointers.

after the 3 months is up your pay does go up- try looking somewhere on this website http://www.sdansw.asn.au/Newsite/Html/about.html

its the union website which represents woolies employees

Curious but is a persons 'scan rate' that important at woolworths?. I work for Bi-Lo and i scan at about 12-14 items, our lowest scanner has 8 items and the highest is at 17-20. I have watched people who scan at 15+ and they tend to be very bad packers, they just throw things into bags ( coles, bi-lo, woolworths ) which customers hate. For me id rather scan at a rate that allows me to pack the customers bags properly with similar items grouped together so its easier to lift and for the customer once they get home to unpack. So the 'scan rate' doesnt really show the ability of the employee, it only shows how fast they scan items

i think scan rate wood b important in that u arent taking forever to do it all but so that you do it efficiently yeh with a lil bit of speed...
