Note - The nature of any criminal conviction should be carefully considered in deciding whether to hire the individual or not.

Supervisory Employees - Employees in supervisory positions are expected to be above reproach in the conduct of their personal financial affairs and any knowledge of a history of problems must be carefully considered.

Orientation and Training:

New Employees - It is the responsibility of Campus Business Services to insure that employees responsible for cash funds are appropriately trained in accordance with University rules for cash handling. Specifically, employees responsible for cash funds should be familiar with:

Business Services should be notified of newly hired employees in cash-handling areas to insure they receive appropriate training.
