Hello,
I run a company that requires a team of people to create these digital products for our clients. Right now I am holding back on boosting advertising whilst I am setting up an office in the Phillipines.
Let me briefly explain it, our product is in the form of a custom made digital product our clients buys, it takes about 20 minutes to create each digital product we sell, we promise a 48 hour delivery too.
The problem I've ran into is that we cant shut the office/studio on weekends, because that would cause a massive weekend backlog of orders come Monday for the workers.
It'd be ideal to simply just pay our workers extra rate for working on the weekends too, but I feel bad making people work 7 days a week (completely taking away employees free time is not something I'd be proud of)
I am trying to think of ideas, however they are quite costly.
The first idea was to double the amount of workers, and give them shifts (say Sun to Tues group 1 and Wed to Sat group 2) - this will result in 2x the cost for the company, and 2x the training --- however it'll give the employees 3 days a week off.
The 2nd idea was to just have the 'main team' who work Mon to Fri (or to half sat) - and then have a 'work from home' team who do the weekend orders.
So confusing - what do you guys do?
