What people are saying about sick pay at IKEA

• Best thing

  *Some* of my colleagues are nice people.

  Worst thing

  - overworked (long, exhausting hours with no opportunity to take breaks)
  - early starts
  - only allowed to call in sick 3 times after that you’re not paid
  - multiple cases of sexual harassment within the work place (nothing is done)
  - no priority for staff wellbeing (numerous examples of staff stating they are having issue with mental health and nothing is done)
  - food offered at work is unhealthy, doesn’t taste nice, limited options
  - career progression is extremely difficult
  - a lot of managers are very rude, condescending, pushy
  - salaries are low
  - lack of support dealing with rude customers

  IKEA Food Coworker, March 2023

• Best thing

  The job has its perks like the discounts for staff and having select access to jobs going up in store. The pay is good for a part time job too.

  Worst thing

  Management are the worst thing in IKEA, they belittle you and don't consider you have a life outside of work, they don't handle situations like bullying in the work place at all and constantly go against company policies. You'll have negative files on your record for being sick more than 3 times a year or even if you're a minute late to work and the reason is out of your control. Work rotas are on contract to be given 4 weeks in advance and we are only given 1-2 weeks in advance. Longer breaks are unpaid too.
