Merit 1

In this task I will be looking at the monitoring procedures and I will be explaining the reasons s to why recruitment is important and why it is needed.

 I will be looking at the contract of employment which is in task 1 on page 3.

The three parts that I will be looking at are:

  • holiday pay/sick pay
  • health and safety
  • the hours of work

Holiday pay/Sick pay

The holiday pay and sick pay for the Deputy Manager of Topshop allows the Deputy Manager to take time off when they are taking a holiday but because the job role is quite an important part to the business then the number of times that they will be able to take off will be limited because the deputy manager has greater responsibility towards the business and the business will run smoothly by the help of this person.

If the business does not need as much help at a particular period then the time the deputy manager will be allowed to take time off for emergencies that may be needed. When it is the actual holiday times such as the summer holiday or then there will be no pay for the holiday time taken because this is one of the busiest times for the shop and the most customers will come and a lot more of employees will be needed.

If for any reason the deputy manager is ill and has a reason ten they will be paid sick pay as this is not their fault. If time is taken off for any old reason and the deputy manager is expecting to be paid the sick pay then they will not be paid because the employer needs proof to show that they are ill and because the business will take this seriously as the business may struggle due to the absence of the deputy manager.

In order for the deputy manager to take time they will have to give a weeks notice to the employer so that the business can get replacement employees for work for that period or the employer might not allow the deputy manager to take time off because it will be too late for them to set a schedule and everything will be hard to take care of.

Also there will be a limited time as to how long they will have their holiday and the deputy manger like any other employee is to be back at work when the holiday time is finis.  If the deputy manager takes time off with out consulting the employer then there will be no holiday pay for them.

When there is extra help needed during the holidays then the deputy manager will be asked to come and work. During that time they will get paid extra than the actual amount they get paid for the usual holiday time off because this is their time.

Health and Safety

In the contract of employment it clearly states that health and safety issues so that the employee knows what to do if anything happens and what to be aware of for the health and safety. Such issues that may occur in the work place are problems with the tills and they may crash so the employee needs to be careful because this may causer them to have a shock.

Join now!

Because there are electrical equipment around the shop such as tills, barcode scanner, alarm that is at the door .The employees need to be careful that they do not spill anything on the floor to avoid any injuries. Other accidents that can be made are spills of drink on the floor because there may not be any carpets on the floor causing the employees and the customers to fall.

There may be wooden flooring and some of the customers and the employees may be wearing slippery shoes so it has to be made sure that the floor is ...
