funds.

IX. Training

All new employees who have payment receipting responsibilities must successfully
complete the City’s Cash Handling Policies and Procedures course within thirty (30) days
of employment. Existing employees must contact the FMS Department to register to take
the cash handling course upon obtaining the cash receipting responsibility. Employees
performing payment receipting activities are required to complete the cash handling
course annually, subsequent to the initial training. Successful completion of this course is
defined as achieving at least a seventy percent (70%) passing grade on the test
administered upon completion of the course.

It is the responsibility of the department to notify FMS when a new or transferred employee
becomes responsible for payment receipting activities and whenever an employee is no
longer responsible for payment processing. In addition, it is the responsibility of the
operating department to ensure all staff responsible for payment receipting activities
complete the City’s Cash Handling training at least annually.

The FMS Department is responsible for providing all training related to Cash Handling
and payment processing and in conjunction with the IT Solutions Department, will notify
employees when they are due for their annual training. Notwithstanding, the operational
department(s) retain ultimate responsibility for ensuring all employees attend and
successfully complete the training outlined herein.

The IT Solutions Department maintains training records for Cash Handling. Employees
may access a list of courses completed in the system at any time.
