Human Resource Plan for the Division

In the Children’s’ Division, we will need qualified mathematics, science, and art teachers with at least a Bachelor’s degree in their respective fields. We will also need a qualified gymnastic and gym teacher with a relevant degree and a license from the state. The Children’s Division will also require to employ two baby sitters, who must be certified in First Aid and CPR (See Appendix D). An extensive background test will be conducted on the individuals who are in consideration for employment. For the above positions, an excellent candidate must show patience, compassion and tolerance as children can be a handful at times.

The teachers will be paid an amount of $4,416 a month, which will translate to $53,000 every year (See Appendix A). The gymnastics teacher will receive $3,750 as salary every month, which is equivalent to $45,000 a year. Each baby sitter will be paid $2,125 as monthly salary which is equivalent to $25,499 every year (See Appendix B). They will also be eligible for dental and health insurance after a waiting period. The baby sitter must be available for 24 hours at a time but will work in shifts while the tutors must be available 2.00pm to 8.00pm.

Interviews will be conducted two weeks before the facility is officially opened. Advertisements will be done on the required job opportunities alongside with their minimum qualifications (See Appendix C). This will be done to invite all members of the public in Georgia to participate in the interview. Members of staff will include ECE assistant, baby care supervisor, teachers, a daycare coordinator and an assistant manager. The baby sitter supervisor will be in charge of the activity for 24 hours. The assistant manager will oversee all the administrative duties while the ECE assistant will oversee the academic duties.

Staffing Plan

The ECE assistant must be available to report on duty between 6 am and 8 pm all working days. The individual will be paid $4,000 every month, which translates to $48,000 every year. The baby care supervisor will be paid $4,220 a month will is equivalent to $42,000 a year. The teachers will be paid an amount of $3,500 a month, which will translate to $43,982 every year. A day care coordinator will be paid $4,074 per month and must be available to work between 6.00am to 8.00pm. The assistant manager will receive $4,220 every month as salary.

Academic teachers, ECE assistant, gymnastics and gym teachers will have exempt status and will not be required to work for more than 40 hours a week. The baby sitters, baby care supervisor, daycare coordinator and the assistant manager will have non-exempt status and will be paid for any extra hours worked. The rates will be $6 per hour for each baby sitter and baby care supervisor. The day care coordinator will receive $7 per hour as compensation while assistant manager will be paid $8 per hour for the extra time. This will serve as compensation for the extra input.

List of Assumptions

The following are the assumptions made; the advertisement will reach all the qualified and experienced (See Appendix C). The facility will receive positive publicity and ratings from the citizens of Georgia. The day care will provide the best services to meet the specific needs of the children. The facility will offer personalized services to the students. The facility will be opened two weeks after the advertisements for the needed positions. The last assumption made is that we will be able to fill all the relevant positions before the opening date. This will serve to ensure that the operations run with efficiency.
