Dear Store Manager,
Due to rising gas prices store policy on employee work hours will be changing. Because of this problem store hours will be amended to cut back on company expenses. To remedy this problem, stores will now be closed on Sundays. Also, work days will be shortened by 2-hours a day, the store will be opening one hour later and closing one hour earlier on Monday through Saturday. For full time employees and managers workweeks will be changing from the usual 8 hour work days, five days a week to 10-hour days four days a week. I understand that the extended days aren’t all that appetizing but not only will it benefit the company but it will also benefit you. By working extended days this benefits you by being able to cut down on the amount of days you commute to work therefore cutting down on the amount of money spent on gas and it will allow for more personal time which can be spent with family and friends.
In addition to these changes part time employees will also be cut down on hours. They will be working 1, 2, or 3 day workweeks. This will also depend on the amount of hours the employee is normally schedules throughout the week. These changes will not be leading to the closing of any of our existing stores but for the mean time we do not plan on opening any new stores either.
These changes will only benefit the company and its future goals. By implementing these changes, it allows for us to provide the same great customer service and maintain our low prices. By doing so we maintain our public image as the best retail
