Recently, reports on the monthly salary of some supermarket cashiers in foreign countries as high as 10,000 yuan have attracted widespread attention, which not only challenges the public's traditional perception of this position, but also prompts us to delve into the salary, working conditions and the reasons behind the cashiers in supermarkets at home and abroad.
[The high salary of cashiers in overseas supermarkets and its reasons].
1.Chinese supermarket in Guyana.
In the South American country of Guyana, some Chinese supermarkets offer competitive compensation systems to attract qualified employees. For example, for cashier positions for women under the age of 38, the monthly basic salary can be as high as 11,000-12,000 RMB, and for financial managers, the salary can reach 12,000-14,000 RMB.
These supermarkets not only provide basic accommodation and food security, but also include additional benefits such as international round-trip air tickets and work visa processing. However, behind such high salaries is a harsher working environment and living conditions, such as high temperatures and humidity, and being away from home.
2.The condition of the Baxin Xinren supermarket.
Similarly, in the Pacific island country of PNG, Chinese supermarkets usually offer cashiers and other staff an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan, which is settled quarterly, and there is a year-end bonus based on job performance.
Considering the local cost of living and special circumstances, there are many cases of husband and wife applying together, and supermarkets will also provide complete living facilities and ensure a certain amount of paid leave every year. Although the working hours may be longer, about 10 hours a day, with only two days off per week, many workers are willing to work because of their higher salaries and various subsidies that come with them.
[Salary structure and work situation of cashiers in domestic supermarkets].
1.Overview of the salary level of cashiers in domestic supermarkets.
For example, in the first-tier city of Beijing, a community convenience store and a large supermarket chain in a second-tier city, the average monthly salary of a cashier is usually between 3,000 and 6,000 yuan, while for senior cashiers with certain work experience or skills, the salary ceiling can exceed 7,000 yuan.
In addition to the daily cash and electronic payment operations, cashiers are also responsible for product sorting, customer service and other work, and most of the working hours are in shifts in the morning and evening to ensure that the store operates 24 hours a day.
2.Comparison of career development and treatment of cashiers in domestic supermarkets.
Compared with foreign high-paying areas, the position of supermarket cashier in China has certain advantages in terms of stability, social security and work-life balance, although the salary is generally low. For example, most regular supermarkets can provide five social insurances and one housing fund in accordance with the provisions of the labor law, provide overtime pay on statutory holidays, and increase the seniority wage system year by year.
In addition, with the development of the intelligent trend of the retail industry, some supermarkets are also continuously improving the working environment of cashiers, reducing duplication of work, and increasing vocational training and development opportunities.
[Differences in the position of supermarket cashiers at home and abroad].
1.The impact of market supply and demand.
Supermarkets in some parts of the country are able to offer high salaries in large part because of the imbalance between supply and demand in the local labor market. Especially in economically underdeveloped areas or areas where Chinese are concentrated, due to the shortage of local talents, foreign labor has become the main source of filling vacancies, so employers have to attract and retain talents by improving their salaries.
2.Policies, regulations and industry standards.
Different labor laws, regulations and industry standards at home and abroad will also affect the level of treatment of supermarket cashiers. For example, developed countries and regions may have stricter minimum wages and social security systems, while some developing countries may have special policies to attract foreign investment and foreign labor.
3.Corporate culture and human resources strategy.
Different supermarket companies have different attitudes and strategies towards employees, which also directly affects the actual treatment of cashiers. Some companies pay attention to employee care and implement fair promotion mechanisms and rich welfare plans; Some companies focus on cost control, resulting in relatively limited treatment for grassroots employees.
The salary of supermarket cashiers is closely related to various factors such as their location, market environment, enterprise size, and human resource policies. For job seekers who are interested in working as supermarket cashiers, it is wise to look at the treatment gap at home and abroad, fully consider their actual needs and career planning, and choose an employment path that suits them.
