Retail Tasks that could be jobs
for people with developmental disabilities:
- Janitorial
- Labeling
- Dressing room attendant
- Hangar sorting
- "Facing" shelves
- Cart attendants
- Stock work
- Clothes and product
processing
- Dusting
- Returns
|
All of the above are tasks that
people with disabilities have performed on jobs. There are many
other tasks that can be matched to an individual’s skill and
interest. It just takes a little creativity to see the
possibilities.
Workers with disabilities may be paid by their productivity.
Standards are based on performance of an average experienced
worker. The performance of the worker with a disability is
compared to that standard and the worker may be paid accordingly.
This is an ongoing process reviewed at least every six months and
when new tasks are added to ensure that the worker is paid
equitably.
There were often no formally posted job openings for these
positions. With people from PossAbilities of Southern Minnesota
doing simple repetitive tasks, more highly skilled co-workers are
free to do their more complex work.
These are some of our services to employers:

a retail bookstore in Rochester dusting
shelves.

store employs PossAbilities in returns and zoning.
- A discount
warehouse store employs a cart attendant for
customer service.

salon, we straighten hair care products on sales
