For this project assignment, consider the jobs present in a large-scale garden center. They include cashiers, stockers, gardeners, and supervisors. Be practical and consider future liability in your choices. You do not need to use all categories if you believe that one or more categories are irrelevant to the work being performed.

Address the following topics:

Problem 1: Compare the pros and cons of each category for the above positions (full- and part-time employees, independent contractors, temporary employees, interns, students, volunteers, and partners).

Problem 2: Determine which roles you can creatively staff during your busiest times of the year (you will have a mix of 40 employees during peak season).

Problem 3: Explain if you can consider students, interns, or temporary employees for these roles. Why or why not?

Problem 4: Explain if you can hire independent contractors for these roles. Why or why not?

Problem 5: Apply the exempt and nonexempt employment categories to the roles at the garden center, explaining why these positions are exempt and nonexempt (which should include the essential duties of the job).

Problem 6: Describe the act that mandates paying at least minimum wage and overtime to your nonexempt employees.

Problem 7: Analyze the ideal allocation of workers by employment category that you will use to staff the garden center during the summer, its busiest time of the year.

Problem 8: Ensure your allocations support the mission and vision of the company.

Problem 9: Justify the allocation of workers by employment categories.
