Senior Assist Services has instituted a policy that each employee is trained in the handling of any cash from consumers. Documentation, such as money voucher paperwork is explained to each employee. Each employee has access to the money voucher on SASPXY.com. Paper copies of the money voucher are available at the office.
The money voucher must be signed by the consumer when the cash/change is returned.
The money voucher will remain in the consumer’s file.
