The privately held company plans to offer seasonal store employees about 18 to 20 hours per week up from about 7 hours last year and up to 30 hours during the peak shopping season from 20 hours in 2014. “This decision was based on feedback we received from seasonal employees after our 2014 holiday season,” spokeswoman Alyssa Peera said. Last week, Toys R Us lowered its free shipping minimum from $49 to $19 to tap into holiday demand.
