Kendall, FL – A South Florida Chick-fil-A is making nationwide news for providing workers a shortened 3 day work week.
Earlier this 12 months, the Chick-fil-A positioned on N Kendall Dr in Miami started providing workers a shortened work week, consisting of 13-to-14 hour days, 3 days a week.
The franchises’s owner-operator, Justin Lindsey, tells WSVN News “what I sought out to do was attempt to discover a scheduling system that will give our crew that present of time. What it enabled us to do is give our crew the flexibility to know their schedules in perpetuity, which, within the restaurant trade, is a really uncommon factor.”
Lindsay says the restaurant started providing the shortened schedule earlier this 12 months with a job posting on-line, and it was successful.
“In a period of one week we had 429 applications and counting. I think it’s up to 625 as of today,” mentioned Lindsey.
Manager Alyssa Koury tells WSVN “I used to be slightly skeptical. The concept of working 13 to 14 hours appeared slightly loopy to me.”
But after working the shortened week and lengthy hours, Koury says she will’t think about going again to a 5 day work week.
“I can’t imagine to do school when I’m working five days a week, coming home exhausted, and I have so much free time now in order to get my assignments done and finally be able to finish my bachelor’s degree,” mentioned Koury. “I can’t imagine working a five-day work week. I can’t go back.”
