Cash Deposit Standard Operating Procedure

Job descriptions are not intended and should not be construed as an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, skills, efforts, or working conditions associated with the job. It is the intent to be a reflection of those principal job elements essential for recruitment and selection, for making jobs for evaluations, and for establishing performance standards.

The incumbent shall perform all other functions and or be cross-trained as shall be determined at the sole discretion of management, who has the right to amend, modify, or terminate this job in part or in whole period income it must be able to perform all job functions safely.

Objective: To streamline and ensure a consistent process for handling cash deposits from each practice.

1. Timing of Cash Deposits:

  • All cash deposits should be completed during the practice’s operational hours whenever possible.
  • If a cash deposit is required after the practice has closed, team members can proceed but should follow the guidelines below.

  • Team members can alternate this responsibility; however, if a mutual decision is not able to be reached, one may be assigned.
  • If a team member makes a cash deposit after practice hours, they must punch out when leaving.
