What people are saying about sick pay at Sainsbury’s
-
Best thing
As long as your quick enough and follow the rules your left alone to get on with the job
Worst thing
They do not take in to account what is actually possible and expect your to do more then in my opinion is physically possible. They are more concerned with number then making sure the staff is ok. They monitor toilet breaks and water breaks way too strictly especially considering the fact you can’t take water onto the shop floor
Sainsbury’s Employee, August 2022

Best thing
great team colleagues and managers, plenty of work to be done when working
Worst thing
severely under staffed, customers can be rude, unpaid breaks, hard to change shifts
Sainsbury’s Employee, April 2022

Best thing
The money and the discount. Most members of staff are lovey
Worst thing
Some customers can be rude.
We don’t get paid breaksSainsbury’s Sales assistant, April 2022

Best thing
Putting items through, sick is paid
Worst thing
Only one person on a checkout at times (mostly me), breaks aren't paid, only allowed one time of sick a year
Sainsbury’s Customer assistant, March 2022

Best thing
10% Discount
Worst thing
Unpaid breaks yet we are told we cant leave the store and you will still have tannoys or staff/managers cornering to ask about work things on break
Not enough staff on each department so you will have to do the work of at least 3 people if not more and since theres not enough managers too you will also be handed parts of managers job with no training or extra pay.
New staff are no longer trained it's more a quick run down and off you go and of anything goes wrong multiple people will complain at you.
Don't expect any recognition if you are flexible with shifts and do overtime its usually the staff that are not flexible and maybe only do overtime once a year that recieve the recognition or a thank you for it.
Mental health is not considered an illness so you cannot have time off or sickness for a day off to recharge.
