working days. 1 hour break after 5 hours of continuous work Maximum of 48 hours of work per week Maximum of 9 hours of work per day. Certain number of leaves allowed per year Assumptions!!
Minimum and maximum educational criteria
should be set and adhered to while hiring. Assumed that all the required number employees are trained on all 4 types of products and are on companies payroll on permanent basis. Plans with some assumptions!! We would have 1 sales person covering 250 sq ft during off peak hours per day We should have 2 sales person covering 500 sq ft during off peak hours per day We would need 20 + 4 sales persons , 4 cashiers and 4 guards.

Shift 1: 10.00AM to 06.00PM
Shift 2: 04.00PM to 11.00PM One day in a week to be off. It would be on a rotational basis and it would be changed every 3 months. We have taken 4 extra employees apart from 20 as 3 would be on rotational off and 1 would be needed in case any one falls sick in the scheduled strength of 20 and also do inventory management Leave Policy
24 casual leaves + 6 sick leaves for all
permanent employees. Prior intimation required for all leaves for all the employees. Breaks during working hours..
2 breaks given apart from natural breaks.
Lunch break for 45 mins and another break for 15mins. Breaks are again on rotational basis. People from each product segment cannot go for break together. During absence for break the extra employee is expected to cover up. Disadvantages of fixed time shifts
