Question

Respond to the following prompt,

writing a memo that abides by all format and content guidelines. Apply at least one organizational
marker.
You are the Chief Pharmacist at Lebanese International University Health Center (LIUHC). The normal working hours
are M-F from 8 am – 5 pm. However, fewer students come to the pharmacy over the summer, so the Campus Health
Director has decided to change the summer hours to 8 am – 3:30 pm. This change will be in effect from May 23rd-August
22nd. It’s currently April 21.
The Director has asked you, as Chief Pharmacist, to write a memo to the part-time pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
informing them of this change. In addition, you need to keep in mind that these employees are paid by the hour.
Write a memo that explains the reasoning behind this change in hours and also assuages the concerns of the employees.
Remember that memos are public documents, and you, therefore, cannot just blame the Director.

Answer 1

Memo No. 012

Lebanese International University Health Center, April 21, 2019.

From: Rair moona, Chief Pharmacist

For: pharmaceuticals and technicians.

Subject: Reduction of workload.

Dear collaborators,

As you know, we are close to starting the summer period, when the flow of students willing to cooperate in our activities decreases dramatically. This causes us to have an imbalance in the workload and the work that must be done. Because of this, to prevent you from being overworked, we decided to reduce your working hours from 8 am to 5 pm to 8 am - 3:30 pm from May 23 to August 22. Obviously, your tasks will also be reduced.

However, as we know that you are paid per hour worked, we decided to increase the amount paid per hour, as long as this period lasts so that none of you are harmed.

I appreciate everyone's understanding.
