The John Lewis Partnership is to spend £40 million compensating employees who were accidentally paid incorrectly and did not receive certain additions to pay, such as premiums for Sunday and bank holiday work.
The organisation will make one-off additional payments to 69,000 affected employees dating back to 2006.
The amount will vary depending on pay grade and shift patterns, with more than half of the recipients receiving less than £120.
The one-off cost will be reported in the retailer’s half-year results due to be published in September, however, the cost will not be deducted from its 2013 bonus pool. The organisation also expects an increase of £7 million to future pension liabilities.

John Lewis Partnership has now updated its pay systems to ensure future errors do not occur. The change is expected to add approximately 0.5% to its annual pay costs.
Tracey Killen, director of personnel at John Lewis Partnership, said: “As soon as we established that we were not implementing the Working Time Regulations correctly, we worked quickly to make the repayments to our employees in a way that is both fair and responsible.”
At a minimum, your references should confirm the information the employer has about you and that you are a competent employee. However, you should strive to provide references who can be as enthusiastic about you and you would be about yourself. A great reference makes the hiring manager feel good about their decision to hire you and sets a positive tone for your first few days on the job. As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression and your references can help you do that.Getting Your Ducks In a RowIt’s a good idea to get a reference letter from your manager as soon after leaving a position as possible. Getting a reference letter right away makes it easier for your manager to recall specific contributions you made to the team. Even if you don’t end up needing a reference right away, having the reference letter provides you with something to fall back on in the event you are unable to contact your former manager at a later time. Plus, if you decide to go back to the manager a year or more later to ask them to provide a phone reference, you can remind them about the reference letter they wrote for you. Before asking someone to take the time to write a reference letter or provide a phone reference, it’s a good idea to get a feel for what they would say about you. One way to do this is to say “Do you feel you know me well enough to write a good reference letter?” instead of just “Could you write a reference letter?” This way, if the person doesn’t feel they could say something positive, they have an easy way to decline your request. Employers who ask for references want to confirm dates of employment and position titles at a minimum. They will also try to find out if your former boss would rehire you given the opportunity. And many employers will ask the reference to grade your abilities in the specific areas that will apply to your new job. For example, if you’re applying for a job as a manager, the employer may ask your reference to rate your managerial skills on a scale from 1 to 10. Having a sense of the types of questions employers are likely to ask your references, you should try to gauge the potential reference’s response to these questions before deciding to let them vouch for you. For example, you could say “I’m curious – if you had the chance, would you hire me again to work for you?”Using Non-Employer ReferencesIf you don’t have a lot of good references from former employers, non-employer references can be helpful too. Generally, a potential employer will want at least two references from former employers. But if they require three references, you may be able to provide two from former employers and one from someone else. Professors, former co-workers and customers can all be good references if they know you well. If you have a choice between providing three lukewarm references from former employers or two lukewarm references from former employers plus one glowing reference from someone you didn’t work for, the latter is probably the better choice. A survey done by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) found more than eight out of ten human resource professionals regularly check references, so don’t count on an employer not contacting a lukewarm or bad reference.Legal IssuesThere are a lot of misconceptions about the legal issues surrounding reference checks. Some job seekers mistakenly believe that former employers can only provide dates of employment, position titles and salary history. Even though many companies have established regulations specifying that managers are only to confirm dates of employment, position and salary history, many managers are either unaware of these regulations or simply ignore them. Legally, an employer can provide as much information as they want about your tenure with their organization. As long as a former employer does not knowingly provide false information in a reference check, it is fair game. An employer can legally say or write negative things about you if they are just opinions. For example, the employer could say “John was a horrible manager.” What is not legal would be for an employer to knowingly provide false information. For example, if a former manager didn’t like you, they could not say “John started a fire in our office building that caused thousands of dollars in damage” if it was not true. Regardless of the legal rules, you do not want your references to say bad things about you. There are companies that for a small fee will call your references and provide you with the results. If you suspect a reference you’re using is saying unfavorable things, you may wish to consider using a reference checking firm. Alison & Taylor is one of the leading companies in this market.

Are you struggling to get traffic to your MLM related website without breaking your bank account? If you want to get cheap traffic quickly while building your prospect list, one of the best methods is to join MLM related groups within social networking websites. While there are several websites that MLM professionals frequent, you will have the most success if your primary focus is on the business oriented websites like Direct Matches and Ryze.Networking with your fellow MLM professionals can increase links back to your website, increase your chances of being seen as an expert, increase your mailing list, sell more of your product, get new team members to sign up, make you new friends – in fact there’s not a lot to be said against joining a few MLM related groups and networking online. However, there are some things to think about before you get started:DO:1. Research each networking group before you join. Make sure it’s relevant to your business and see if the participants are in your target market. Look at how much traffic the group gets. How busy is it? – there’s no point in joining a dead group with very few posts.2. Check the group rules before you post. Some groups will allow you to post advertisements for your business while others will object. Check if you are allowed to add a signature at the end of your posts – adding a small biography with a web link to your business is a great way to increase incoming links to your site and to get more traffic.3. Be polite and treat everyone the way you would like to be treated. Even though you don’t meet people face to face you will build up some great relationships if you take the time to give good answers to questions, to be helpful and to respect other people’s opinions. And every post you answer adds to your reputation. Use your posts to give genuine, useful advice, not just to plug your business and you’ll soon be looked on as an expert.4. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice – no-one knows everything and sometimes you will need help.5. To make the most of your time on the groups, allow yourself only a certain amount of time each day. Read only the posts that are relevant and that interest you and post answers quickly before moving on. It’s very easy to spend the whole day on groups and not get anything else done.DON’T:1. Never, ever use a post to blatantly advertise your business, particularly if the group rules don’t allow it. Nothing will damage your reputation faster than spamming a group.2. Don’t go through the list of group members, collect email addresses and send them unsolicited mail. At best you’ll be banned from the group and at worst the owners might report you to your ISP. 3. Don’t ever get involved in a flame war (this is when a heated conversation on a group boils over and degenerates into nothing but an exchange of personal insults). It might be really satisfying to say what you think about someone, especially if they’ve been getting on your nerves, but just imagine what other people will think of you if you do.In conclusion, treat people online like you treat people in real life. Think of it as a networking event that’s taking place on your computer and don’t forget that other posts on the groups are made by real people with real feelings.You already know how to make friends and new contacts face to face. Apply what you already know to online networking and you could be enjoying great success with a global audience.
