For the last few years, many retailers and other businesses have started a new hiring trend. Instead of hiring a balance of full time and part time employees, these companies are hiring more part time employees. Because these companies are looking to make less of an investment in these employees, many of them are hired without pre employment screening.
Hiring part time employees has many benefits for both small businesses and larger companies. It is easier to schedule several part time hours in a day, instead of having full time employees with longer shifts that might overlap in unnecessary times. With shorter time requirements, it is easier to schedule more employees for a few hours at a time, when they are actually needed.
Part time employees do not need a guarantee of hours, so when business is slow, you can easily decrease your payroll. Many companies also do not offer benefits to part time employees, another huge financial impact.
The downside is that with no hour guarantees, and few to no benefits, many part time employees only do the absolute minimum work necessary to keep their jobs. Because of this lack of engagement, part time employees are also more likely to cause theft issues, or ignore shoplifters.
If pre employment screening and other employee background checks are not completed, the likelihood of part time employees causing losses becomes even greater.
Employee background checks might indicate which part time employees are most likely to be disengaged, and potentially cause losses to your business.
