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.
• Please don’t take time off into account in your work.
• These are the minimum requirements for continuous coverage, and must be met in order
for the store to run.
