Frequently asked questions

Do retail employees get a weekly off on weekends?+

Retail stores usually give a staggered weekly off on weekdays since weekends are peak days. The offer letter should say the weekly off will be as per roster.

Can a store recover cash shortage from a cashier's salary?+

Deductions from wages are regulated by law, so any recovery should follow due process, inquiry and legal limits. State the accountability principle in the offer but avoid automatic deductions.

Is uniform cost recovered from retail staff?+

Most retailers issue uniforms free and recover only for loss or damage beyond normal wear. Mention your policy in the offer letter.
