Such changes shall have an effect on your current positions as well as all hourly employee positions.

All the full time employees as well as managers will be having a 4 day, 10 hour workweek. This shall enable the managers to work for a longer shift plus they can have 3 days off in the workweek. This way the company will be able to cut costs and allow the production to be normal.

Apart from the changes above, it has been decided by the company that stores will remain closed on Sundays. And Monday through Saturday the stores will open an hour later and close an hour earlier.

Due to the present economical scenario and huge increase the prices of gas, our company is making several changes in the store operations in order to face the rising prices and to keep the operations of the company to the maximum. These changes will help in saving both time & money, and also at the same time make sure that the employee’s and like before the customers get high quality goods at affordable rates.

The company will now be having new store hours timings. It shall open an hour later and close an hour earlier. The stores shall remain closed on Sundays. In addition the regular employees will work 4 days a week, working 10 hours a day in a workweek. This will enable them to have an extra day off to relax and spend time with their family while maintaining the 40 hour workweek. On the other hand the part time employees will be working 3 days a week for 10 hours each day giving them an extra day off during the week.

Please make a note that the company is not closing any of its stores and neither anticipates opening any new stores. Hence, there shall not be any layoffs in the near future.

Hoping you I hope everyone understands the changes in the schedule. The company greatly highly appreciates the continuous hard work and expects that to continue. If you have any query regarding the changes in the schedule then you are free to contact your Store Manager.
