    Antoinettes Dress Shop: Staffing Schedule     My dress shop will need two people on the floor at peak times


(lunch and after work). I can open the store at 11:00 a.m. and can usually be available to fill in if the store suddenly gets busy at an unexpected time, as well as doing the books and ordering when the store is not crowded. Therefore, I plan to hire one full-time clerk, with the title of assistant manager, to work 40 hours a week, and two full-time clerks so that there is always one employee in the store. Thats a total of 120 hours per week of labor. The assistant manager will work from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from opening to closing on Saturday. The two clerks will be scheduled so that all the open hours are covered.           3. Write Job Descriptions     Next, open a new computer file or take out several blank sheets of paper and title each one "JOB DESCRIPTION." Make sure you have room for a separate description for each person you plan to hire. Each job description should include several items of information:         Antoinettes Dress Shop: Job Description for Sales Clerk     Job Title: Sales Clerk     Job Duties: Sell clothing, interact with customers and present good image of my shop     Skills and Personality: The clerk must have basic retail and cash handling skills and must demonstrate good math skills before hiring. She must be friendly and well-dressed. She must know current fashions and proper accessorizing as well as basics about alterations. She must be adept at working with the occasional irate customer.     Education: She must be at least a high school graduate.     Supervisor: Since she will be supervised by both my assistant manager and by me, she must be comfortable in situations with more than one person able to give orders.     Pay Rate and Monthly Wages: The clerk will work about 40 hours per week for a total of approximately 170 hours per month. I think I can hire a suitable clerk for about $5.00 per hour plus payroll taxes. That brings her monthly total to $860.00 ($5.00 x 40 hours x 4.3 weeks).           Once you complete a job description for each employee, add together all the monthly total wages/salary amounts youll pay each employee. Verify your calculations against the numbers you used on line 4a of the Profit and Loss Forecast (Chapter 6, Section D).     Example:Antoinette learns that sales clerks often make minimum wage, even with one or more minimize problems with turnover.
