PAIN POINTS
Managing Complicated Shift Schedules
Department stores often require a substantial number of employees to handle customer traffic during specific periods, such as holidays or promotional events. The HR department needs to enhance recruitment and management practices to ensure the qualifications and
efficiency of part-time staff. Moreover, the working hours and benefits of part-time employees must be effectively managed to ensure legality and fairness. Additionally, some employees need to work across different shifts or time slots to accommodate the operational requirements of department store. This poses significant challenges for HR in terms of scheduling and coordination. The HR department must develop appropriate scheduling plans to ensure sufficient staff coverage for each period.
Linking Variable Working Hours With Compensation
Employees in department stores experience fluctuations in working hours due to changes in
business demands. They may need to work extended hours or face variations in their schedules. It is crucial for HR to accurately record each employee's actual working hours to track their time effectively. This allows fair calculation of salaries, considering the link between pay and hours worked. HR needs to document the actual working hours to ensure employees' rights are protected and the company's operational needs are met.
