All-Store Store Hours and Staffing Notes

Store Hours (require at least six sales associates and one manager during nonpeak hours):

Monday Saturday: 7:00a.m. 10:00p.m. Sunday: 9:00a.m. 10:00p.m.

Peak Hours (require at least 10 sales associates and two managers): Monday, Thursday, and Friday: 5:00p.m. 7:00p.m. Saturday: 10:00a.m. 7:00p.m. Sunday: 12:00p.m. 5:00p.m.

Notes from the General Manager: There are two types of employees: sales associates and managers. Sales associates have an estimated labor cost of $12.50 per hour. Managers have an estimated labor cost of $20 per hour. Labor cost includes all taxes, benefits, and other costs, so you do not need to take those into

account. Managers are full-time, so they typically work approximately 40 hours per week. Sales associates are part time, so they must work no more than 30 hours per week. These are the minimum requirements for continuous coverage, and must be met in order

for the store to run.
