SCHEDULING STAFF

Purpose 

To ensure that staff is scheduled properly and shifts are covered appropriately.

Policy 

That every Sous Chef is responsible to properly schedule his staff in a timely manner and that all shifts are covered appropriately.

Procedure 

The Sous Chef or in his absence the Chef de Partie is writing the weekly work schedule according to business forecasts.

The work schedule is written 2 weeks in advance, after checking with all members of the assigned staff for day off, vacation or public holiday requests. It is published not later than the Thursday before the commencing Monday.

This schedule will be preliminary and can change without notice to accommodate business demands.

One copy of the confirmed schedule is kept at the Chefs office.

If an employee wants to change shifts after the schedule is confirmed he will only be accommodated if business and scheduling allows.
