Cash-Control Best Practices

Use the correct drawer and shift.
Require the responsible employee to identify themselves.
Add a useful note explaining unusual cash movement.
Count pickups before removing them from the counter.
Keep the approved starting float in the drawer.
Perform scheduled counts during the day.
Review the saved receipt or history immediately.
Investigate differences promptly instead of waiting until day end.
Never use Add Cash or Pickup to hide an unexplained variance.
