Principles & Practices
Pre-condition 1:
Cash handlers are authorized (Cont'd.)
Employment Verification
Verifying the validity of statements on an applicant's employment application provides a confirmation of that person's honesty and integrity.
Background Checks
A fingerprint/background check is one way in which the University ensures an employee's trustworthiness and it also lays the basis for follow-up in case of cash loss, misappropriation or outright theft.
Therefore, University policy states that a background check is a pre-condition for delegating cash handling responsibilities. Campus policy permits an exception for staff, students and volunteers who routinely handle less than $500 per week. Similarly, fund custodians are exempt if the funds they are responsible for are less than $500.
For fingerprint/background check services or information contact your Staff Human Resources team.
