The retail operation has been subject to high employee turnover and continues to endure rising costs due to recruitment and new hire training and development. Store managers and human resource professionals have long held the belief that age and employee turnover are closely related. This paper tests that relationship between the age of the part-time employee and the employee’s tenure due to voluntary termination of employment within a given retail establishment. In addition, the current literature on the subject is examined while an ex-post-facto case study of a specific retail operation is presented. The results of the study determine that the relationship between the variables age, and tenure due to voluntary termination of employment, was not significant.
