Department Manager
The Department Manager role of Kudler directs and coordinates all activities that involve production, distribution as well as sales of products. The responsibility of the supervisor is to supervise employees, full time and part time, develop and manage a budget for department operations and decide what products must be produced or stocked, based on orders from consumers, sales projections as well as organizational standards and policies. The best fit for this position is the competency based approach. Although this is defined by the department manager base pay, it still rewards the way people work and not just acknowledging what they can produce.
Cashier
The cashier has the role of reviewing prices, price changes and sales. The cashier also records prices, subtotal taxable items as well as totals purchases on a register and electronic scanner. Collects cash, check, or charge payment of a customer and gives change for any transactions. A cashier will also redeem food stamps, promotional items and cash checks. I based the cashier’s role on both a job-based and person-based approach. The job-based approach defines the cashier role by estimating the relative value of the cashier role to create a job structure for Kudler Fine Foods. The evaluation is based on job content and the skills needed, and the worth to Kudler, the culture at Kudler and the external market factors.
The advantage of a person-based plan is that people can be organized in a way that better matches the flow of work; hence, avoiding bottlenecks as well as idle hands (Milkovich & Newman, 2005, pp 146). The person-based structure has helped define the role of the cashier, connecting pay rate to the experience of skills, abilities, and knowledge of the position
