Additional Notes:
NOTE: Retail and wholesale trade managers are frequently employed in relatively small establishments that do not have a hierarchy of managers. The managers of large retail establishments such as supermarkets and department stores, however, should also be classified in this Minor group, even though such establishments may have a hierarchy of managers and supervisors. General managers of groups of establishments such as supermarket or department store chains are however classified in Unit group 1120, Managing Directors and Chief Executives. Operators of small shops for whom the management and supervision of staff is not a significant component of the work are classified in Unit group 5221, Shopkeepers. Staff who control and direct the activities of shop sales assistants, checkout operators and other workers, but who do not take responsibility for determining product mix, overall setting of prices, budgets and staffing levels, selection and recruitment are classified in Unit group 5222, Shop Supervisors.
