While picking up any last minute holiday gifts, this is important to keep in mind.

Put yourselves in their shoes. One week you may be scheduled for 40 hours. The next week that may drop to 15 hours. You might not know your schedule until 2 or 3 days in advance. Sometimes, after shuttling your kids to daycare, you may get to work only to have a shift manager send you home, without pay. Your scheduled hours may vary wildly. One week you might work days; the next week it could be evenings, or even nights.
And it’s not just retail workers who find themselves in this situation. This scenario plays itself out in many low-paid, female-dominated occupations—it’s a fact of life for restaurant servers,, nursing assistants, child care givers, housekeepers and others. These workers can never rely on a budget, and some weeks or months they may work so little that they have trouble paying for rent, food, utilities and other necessary expenses.
