Credit Card & Cash Handling Training Helpful Hints

Administration and Finance has been working with departments across campus to determine which employees should be enrolled in specific Finance role-based training for FY09 based on each employee’s respective job duties. Please keep the following in mind as employees are hired and job duties are assigned:
  • All employees (students, staff & faculty) who handle university cash (cash, checks & payroll checks) or are involved in the credit card acceptance process should be in Security Sensitive Position and are required to have an approved background check on file prior to performing these duties.
  • All employees must successfully complete one of the following trainings prior to handling cash:
    • Cash Security Procedures Training – handle cash only.
    • Cash Deposit & Security Procedures Training – handle cash and process deposits.
  • All employees must successfully complete the associated following trainings prior to accessing, accepting or processing credit card transactions:
    • Credit Card Data Security – have access to credit card data.
    • Credit Card Processing – process credit card register transactions.
    • Credit Card Accounting – process credit card deposits.
  • Cash and Credit Card training must be taken each fiscal year. Each related training must be retaken during each designated mandatory training period if the job duties are still being performed.
  • If during the year new employees (or employees who are assigned new duties) will handle cash or credit card transactions, they must successfully complete the appropriate training before they perform these duties. Employees may enroll in the online trainings by going to http://www.uh.edu/adminservices/ and selecting the link to Training Administration > Finance Online Training.

The mandatory training season for FY09 will begin October 1, 2008. Look for updates in the monthly Business Notes & News.
