Results Statement: By using this system, all cash will be accounted for and a single person will be responsible for making an accurate deposit.
- Always open the cash register or cash box with exactly $200. The person opening the drawer will be responsible for total cash at the end of the night, so he or she will count the cash at the beginning of the shift to confirm exactly $200 is present. If there is more or less, a second person will re-count the money. The manager will be notified so we can find the discrepancy in the previous shift’s deposit. Both the person opening the drawer and the second person who counted the money will be noted on the end-of-shift front desk closeout.
- Throughout the night, all transactions that include cash will be accounted. All clients will be offered a receipt for their purchases.
- If using a cash register, all transactions must run through the register. If using a cash box, a log of each sale will be made.
- At the end of the shift, the cash will be counted again. The total amount over $200 will be logged and placed in an envelope for deposit along with the daily closeout receipt from the register or the spreadsheet log. The date and the associate’s signature will be placed over the seal to the envelope. The deposit will be put through the intake of the safe.
- The log of sales and the cash should match exactly. If it does not, the manager will be notified in order to attempt to find the discrepancy. If the discrepancy cannot be solved and the error is more than +/- $5, the employee will receive a write-up that will be documented in his/her file from the manager.
- The register or cash box will be locked with the $200 “bank” at the end of the shift.
- No one other than the front desk associate clocked in for that shift and/or the gym manager/owner may handle cash during that shift.
