Update for all GMB members as Asda,
Whilst many of you will already be aware, I wanted to ensure you had sight of the festive working arrangements, as confirmed by Asda:
"Our Christmas store opening hours are available on the seasonal planning site on OneAsda. Colleagues can enter their store numbers onto the site and it will give them their specific opening hours.
Key Points:
- All colleagues are on ‘Our Asda’ contract, therefore Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day are voluntary including our Seasonal colleagues
- If a colleague chooses not to work the Festive Bank Holidays, they need to book a holiday following the normal process
- Colleagues working the Festive Bank Holidays will receive double time
- Colleagues whose contracted hours fall on the Festive Bank Holidays should be asked first if they would like to work"
As always, any questions or issues, please speak to your local reps or regional officer.
