id be mad that she showed up just to look like she was there...if she was able to drive there she was able to work!

have a talk with her and tell her times are tuff and people are very eager to find employment theses days..if she dosent want to work just say so and youll hire someone from the stack of applications you already have..

I swear, that is why I don't hire anymore unless you pay rent or have a mortgage. Otherwise, I had to work "around" their social life.

I had that happen back when I hired teenagers. Same thing, only scheduled a few hours but always wanting them covered by others as they had an event. Not that we suffered because they were covered, but I figured HEY, I will help you out and give you more social freedom. So, I just cut the hours drastically and when she asked why I just said sorry I don't have the hours to give you right now. Did that through the month. She totally got the message because when I kicked the hours back up she TOOK them and the problem stopped.

I ended up firing one of my best girls for that. She was the best at cleaning and selling...when she showed up. She started going through a phase where she would wait until an hour before her shift and then call in. I am really good about scheduling around their requested days off. But its not fair to everyone else when they have to cover at the last minute.

If she's only there 10 hours get rid of her half your customers probably dont even know her name, you need girls that want to be there! You are missing out on someone else that wants to make you money!!

We also have an employee that contantly calls in or calls me wanting to get someone to come in for her b/c she is sick. Well her sales are GREAT... but thats about the only thing that is great. She leaves the salon in shambles, and like I said she calls in contantly...

The only thing that I can tell you is to let her go. The one thing that you have to have in a small business is DEPENDABLE employees! I mean thats great that she keeps the salon clean, and is nice. But that is not the only thing that the job requires.

Hope this helps.
