Market Basket appears ready to move on without those who’ve been refusing to go to work in recent weeks in protest of the firing of Arthur T. Demoulas.

The company will host three job fairs next week for multiple positions at the company, including store directors, accountants and grocery buyers, it said Wednesday.

“We want Market Basket associates back to work and reiterate that they can return without fear of penalty,” the company said in a statement. “We again acknowledge and understand how difficult this situation has been for associates. However, we also need to have associates working to support stores, customers and vendors.”

News of the job fairs came Wednesday as a boycott of the grocery chain entered a 13th day, with stores running low on many items and almost completely empty of customers. Market Basket’s board of directors has said it is considering purchase offers from multiple bidders, including ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas, for whom the boycott is attempting to get reinstated.

The job fairs will be held Aug. 4 and 5 for current Market Basket employees, according to an advertisement submitted Wednesday for publication in Thursday’s edition of The Sun. External candidates will be considered at a fair Aug. 6.

Whether the job postings are an indication of what the company may expect from a potential sale of the company aren’t clear. Many of the senior managers who’ve been fired or quit in recent weeks have held similar positions. Dozens of store managers have signed a petition saying they will not work for the company if Arthur T. isn’t again in charge of the chain.

The Aug. 4 and 5 job fairs will be held from 4 to 8 p.m., and the Aug. 6 fair from 1 to 8 p.m. All will be held at the company’s information technology center at 340 Ballardvale St. in Andover.

The jobs being posted: store directors, assistant directors, accountants, accounts payable and receivable, and grocery and perishable buyers.
