While I am a firm believer that all employees need to be held to the same accountability and responsibility standards, it is critical to your business that any part time employees are properly trained and managed to ensure the success of your retail operations. In particular, any attempts to prevent shoplifting through customer service or retail anti theft devices must be monitored closely on a continual basis.
Part time employees might make for a better financial situation, but this is generally a case of you get what you pay for. Because part time employees are less likely to have guaranteed hours or might not be eligible for benefits, they are also less likely to be truly engaged in your business.
When the responsibility falls onto part time employees, retail anti theft devices generally are more likely to be used inconsistently. It can be a tedious task of applying retail anti theft devices, and then removing them during check out.
Part time employees simply do not care if a customer is inconvenienced by an alarm or if they actually contribute to the store security process. Even if they are held to the same standards as full time employees, there is a reality that the follow through of the part time employees might be lacking.
