Basic Cash Control: Terminology (2024)

Defining cash handlers

Cashier: A person who works in a main cashiering station. The primary function of this individual is cash handling, payment processing and preparing deposits that go directly to the bank.

These are the two main cashiering stations at UCSC:

  • Campus Cashier's Office
  • University Extension (UNEX)

Cash Handler: A person who frequently handles cash, processes payments and prepares deposits to a main cashiering station. A few examples of units at UCSC with this level of cash handling include:

  • Arboretum Gift Shop
  • Bay Tree Bookstore
  • Event Ticket Office
  • Ocean Discovery Shop at Long Marine
  • Office of Physical Education & Recreational Services (OPERS)
  • Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS)

In BUS-49, a unit with this level of activity is called a sub-cashiering unit. There are approximately 50 sub-cashiering units at UCSC. In general, this type of unit operates cash handling equipment, e.g. a cash register, and routinely deposits to a main cashiering station.

Departmental Handler: A person whoinfrequently handles cash or processes deposits. Examples of the types of funds that may be received and processed include gifts, donations, and telephone or photocopy reimbursem*nts.

In BUS-49 a unit with this level of activity is referred to as a cash handling department/unit. In general, deposits to a main cashiering station occur only occasionally for this type of unit.

Fund Custodian: A person who has been assigned responsibility for administering either a petty cash or change fund.
