Name the different Employment opportunities?
Full-time staff, Part-time staff, Casual staff.
What are full-time staff?
Full-time staff have permanent jobs in the establishment and work all year. They should have a contract with their terms of employment set out in writing. They could work set shifts or shifts that change daily depending on how busy the establishment is. They will often work a set amount of days over a seven-day week, including weekends.
What are part-time staff?
Part-time staff may work on set days of the week, or have set shifts. They may be employed permanently, but do fewer hours a week than full-time staff, often working during the busier times of the day such as service of meals.
What are casual staff?
Casual staff work for specific functions through an agency. They do not have a contract or set hours to work, but are called in during busier times of the year, such as Christmas. Often, casual staff work for the same establishment each year as they know their way round and know how the company works. However, this is not always the case and some casual staff do not know where they will be working until the week before.
