This can include the hours they are open, their production schedule, work shifts, and other timelines. Yet one little change can have unanticipated consequences. For example, if you decide to open at 8 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. during the week, you may also need to push back your pre-opening deliveries, change the start times of your line level employees, and even rearrange ...

And they usually do it when the business's regular workers aren't there, so it's not only effective but a...

If you are not satisfied with the job your current commercial cleaner is doing, you can often make a change even if you have a contract. Many commercial cleaning contracts include a clause that states that if the contractor fails to live up to the client's expectations, they can be released at any time.
