Explain Why They Need To Learn How to Count Cash
When teaching an employee how to count the cash, it’s important that you explain why this skill is so valuable. With modern technology and money counters for the till counters in stores these days- some may think they won’t ever have a need for their knowledge again!
But even if there are register kiosks out on sales floors (which sometimes happen), those cashiers still need basics such as being able to read numbers from one total another itemization list of items sold at your business today; exactly what we’ll teach them here today about handling money safely.
Knowing how to count cash gives the employee skills that are important in double-checking a machine’s work when they are handing out money as customers walk up.
Start at the Beginning
The first step in the process is to verify drawer balance. Make sure employees understand that they need to check their register before they start a shift, and have them do so while being watched by either a supervisor or manager if possible.
The employee should understand that all cash is his or her responsibility. He will not be able to hand over the money like it’s an empty cup for someone else, only managers are allowed access in this situation and they must keep track of what happens with regards to these funds as well!
Making Change and Counting Back
Next, you’ll train employees to make changes for customers. Cash transactions are common enough but most of them don’t pay with exact change- which can be a problem when it comes time to cash out your drawer after work! To help avoid this issue and give every customer the best possible experience in our store, we’ve implemented new policies on how much should go into each transaction.
Balancing the Drawer
At the end of each shift, an employee will be asked to balance the till. If credit or debit card purchases are made on behalf of customers then these transactions should also appear in this ledger as well but only after they have been recorded by hand otherwise you might underreport how much money has come into your business!
Maintaining accurate records is important for any company looking to stay afloat so make sure all employees know where their data goes when recording everything from sales receipts right up until closing time.
Teach Employees How to Use a Cash Handling Device
Teaching new employees how to count cash is a serious responsibility. Teaching them the proper way of using their cash counting machine will help ensure that you are receiving accurate numbers and valuable information about sales transactions in seconds!
