Professional responsibilities of the employee

A cashier-salesperson is a universal specialist, as he deals not only with cash and valuables, but also with people and equipment.
The cashier seller is obliged to:

Serve customers in the cash register.
Work with cash documents, cash, reconcile cash payments and the actual availability of funds, conduct an inventory, hand over funds for collection.
Understand not only financial issues, but also be able to identify a technical malfunction of a cash register (hereinafter referred to as the cash register), and also correct it if possible.
Monitor price tags on goods from the sales floor with database data in the cash register, be able to advise the buyer, and be a conduit between the store administration and its client.

The range of responsibilities is very wide and requires the employee not only to have knowledge and skills, but also to guarantee the employer that all the valuables with which the specialist will work will remain intact. Below we will look at a document that allows you to protect the employer from losses intentionally caused by the employee.

What conditions should be included in the document?

Along with the general considerations that the cashier assumes responsibility for the company’s property and must take care of the safety of the property entrusted to him, he can be obliged to:

inform management that property is in danger;
keep records of valuables and submit reports;
participate in inventory.

Sample agreement with a cashier on financial responsibility.

An agreement on full responsibility for the entrusted property is concluded in writing. As the sample cashier liability agreement (2020) shows, both copies must have the signatures of the employee and the employer.

It is advisable to conclude a liability agreement with the cashier at the time of hiring the employee. The cashier cannot refuse the conclusion. The refusal of a person to enter into an agreement for full compensation, whose official duties include servicing monetary or material assets and with whom such an agreement can be concluded, is equivalent to a failure to fulfill official duties. This conclusion was made in paragraph 36 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation dated March 17, 2004 No. 2.

Why is the agreement necessary?

In accordance with Part 1 of Art. 244 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer has the right to enter into an agreement on financial liability with the cashier. The purpose of drawing up the document is to ensure that the employer can compensate for the damage caused to him by the employee. If such a document is missing, preserving valuables belonging to the employer will be problematic, because in the event of losses, it is the agreement that makes it possible to establish guilt and subsequently bring the employee to financial responsibility. The subordinate bears both full (full compensation for losses) and limited (partial compensation) liability.

The employer, in turn, is obliged to guarantee the employee the preservation of the property entrusted to him, timely payments and the right to work.

In order to demand compensation for losses incurred in full, a document is drawn up, the form of which is established by Resolution of the Ministry of Labor dated December 31, 2002 No. 85.

Contents of the liability agreement

The cashier agreement contains the name and details of the employer, the full name of the employee and his position. The document indicates the responsibilities for safety and compliance with regulations when working with funds, and responsibility for their non-compliance. In addition, this agreement must specify the conditions for the liability of each party.

When regulations governing the employee’s area of responsibility change, an additional agreement is concluded in the contract or the text of the document indicates that the employee is obliged to promptly familiarize himself with all innovations in his functional area and apply them in his work.

The amount of damage caused, as well as the procedure for compensation, is indicated in accordance with current legislation. The agreement comes into effect from the moment it is signed.

What to do when the damage is done?

Financial liability means: the employee’s obligation to compensate for the damage caused by him with malicious intent or as a result of inaction.

Table 1. Division of damages.

Direct real	Indirect	Lost profit
This includes damaged property, loss of valuables that can be assessed, counted, and measured.	This includes additional costs associated with repairing or replacing property, for example, transportation costs for the delivery of materials for restoration, the work of experts, etc.	This includes, for example, loss of income due to equipment downtime.

Indirect costs and lost profits are not subject to compensation; liability lies only within the limits of actual damage.

If the employee’s guilt is proven, damage to property has been caused and the extent of damage has been determined, all measures must be taken to obtain compensation.

Procedure:

It is necessary to prove the employee’s guilt and involvement in the damage caused. This evidence should be documented in an act or protocol.
It is necessary to conduct an investigation, determine the size of the property and identify the culprit within one month.
Take an explanatory note from the culprit; if he refuses, draw up an act of refusal to give an explanation within three days.
If the damage is estimated below the average monthly salary, the employer has the right, by his own order, to withhold the calculated amount from the employee’s salary; in other cases, the damage is compensated in court.

Is full financial responsibility for a cashier inevitable or the employer’s choice?

The decision to establish the cashier’s obligation to compensate the damage caused to the employer in the full actual amount, and not be limited to the limits of his average monthly salary, is entirely within the competence of the employer.

Such a decision is either already fixed by the terms of the employment contract, or an additional agreement on the financial responsibility of the cashier is drawn up (sample for 2020, see below), and from the moment he becomes familiar with its terms, which is confirmed by the employee’s handwritten signature, he begins to be fully responsible for the damage caused to the enterprise .

An additional contract is signed either at the same time as the main labor contract, or later.

Is it possible for a cashier not to take full financial responsibility?

The law does not provide for the cashier the opportunity to refuse to enter into such an agreement! According to the explanations in the second paragraph of paragraph 36. Resolution No. 2 of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated March 17, 2004, such a refusal by persons whose job duties include servicing material assets is regarded as failure to fulfill job duties, which is a reason for the application of disciplinary measures .

To each his own!

When concluding an agreement on the cashier’s full financial liability, you need to understand that in the event of damage, it is the Employer who will have to objectively prove its amount (Article 233).

The damage must meet certain criteria and be:

direct and real, i.e. resulting in an actual decrease in the employer’s property mass, or a deterioration in its consumer properties, including the property that the employer accepted for safekeeping, and all financial costs associated with such harm (first paragraph of Article 242 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
the consequence of a guilty, contrary to the law, action of an employee, the occurrence of an illegal result of which he desired, or allowed, but treated it with indifference.

Financial liability and termination of an employment contract

The financial responsibility of the cashier takes place from the moment he takes on this position. But the full scope of responsibility is achieved only by special terms of the contract, or by a separate agreement.

In any case, the responsibility of the cashier remains unchanged throughout his career in this position (and for full responsibility - for the duration of the additional agreement, if this condition is not included in the main agreement), and even goes beyond its time frame.

Consequently, when illegal actions that resulted in losses preceded the termination of the employment contract, then this will in no way relieve the Party that has ceased to be an employer or employee from the obligation of material compensation (Article 232 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Cases of exclusion of liability

Despite the bilaterally signed agreement on the financial responsibility of the cashier, a sample of which can be found in the resolution of the Ministry of Labor, in some cases established by law, the employee will be completely relieved of the need to compensate for losses caused to the employer.

Such exhaustive circumstances are (Article 239 of the Code):

irresistible force, i.e. the impossibility, in the presence of measures taken, of preventing damage;
normal business risk;
cases of extreme necessity and/or necessary self-defense.

The cashier will not be considered a financially responsible person if, in fact (i.e. there is evidence), his employer has not provided the necessary conditions for the safety of the property entrusted to the cashier.

Sample agreement on cashier's financial responsibility

It occurs when the following conditions are met:

direct actual damage caused to the injured party;
the action (inaction) that caused the damage is illegal;
a clear connection between the action and the damage caused;
the fault of the person who violated the contract.

The actual existence and extent of damage, and other above-mentioned conditions must be proven by the victim.

A party to an agreement may be held liable if all conditions exist simultaneously.

Conditions for liability

The grounds for liability are:

In case of damage to property, complete or partial. Those. additional costs are necessary for restoration, repair or complete replacement of damaged valuables.
If a shortage of valuables transferred to the responsible person is detected.
If the property is damaged or lost due to the fault of an employee in a state of alcoholic or other intoxication, or intentionally.
If it is proven that damage or loss occurred as a result of failure to fulfill professional duties, or performance was not at the proper level.
If the employee’s guilt is proven, or he did not fulfill his job duties.
When disclosing a commercial or other protected secret.

Release from collection

The position of “cashier” is included in the list of jobs for which the employer enters into a written agreement with the employee on full financial responsibility. If an employee does not agree to sign a sample agreement with a cashier on financial responsibility, and the duties of working with valuables are included in the main job function, his actions are regarded as a refusal to perform labor duties (Resolution of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation No. 2 of March 17, 2004).

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation regarding causing material damage

The cashier bears full financial responsibility for the preservation of valuables and for damage that could arise either as a result of intentional actions or negligent attitude to functions.

If the amount of losses does not exceed the average monthly earnings, the amount of funds is recovered by order of the manager, made no later than a month from the date of establishment of the actual damage. Before management makes a decision, an inspection is carried out by a specially created commission. The cashier provides written explanations of the situation; in case of his refusal, a report must be drawn up (Article 247 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). If the collection procedure is violated, the employee will be able to appeal the employer’s actions in court.

If the cashier does not agree to compensate for losses voluntarily, or the month required for drawing up the collection document has expired, or the amount of damage is higher than the average monthly earnings, the employer will be able to compensate for the damage in court. Appeal to court is possible within one year from the moment the damage was discovered.

The employee has the right to compensate for the losses incurred voluntarily, and, with the consent of the parties, to compensate them in installments. In this case, the cashier gives the employer a written receipt for voluntary compensation for losses. With the consent of the employer, the employee may, in compensation for damage, transfer property of equal value or eliminate defects.

Damage is subject to compensation regardless of the fact that the employee is held liable.

Labor legislation makes it possible in certain cases to relieve an employee from financial liability. It will not happen if the losses arose due to:

acts of force majeure;
normal economic risk;
emergency or necessary defense;
failure to provide optimal storage conditions for property entrusted to the employee.

For example, an employee is not held liable for damage to the employer’s car, which was left in the parking lot during a fire (provided it is not possible to put it in the garage).

The security officer, preventing an attempt to steal money, will not be held accountable in the event of damage to the tenant's property.

We must not forget that the employer must prove that there are no circumstances that exclude the cashier’s financial liability.

The employer has the right (Article 240 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), taking into account specific circumstances, to partially or fully refuse to recover damages from a subordinate. There are practically no regulatory documents limiting the employer's right to this.

The decision to release from financial liability partially or in full can be formalized in an administrative document of the organization. The order is formed in free form and certified by the signature of the head. The employee assures in writing that he has read the document.

Detection of monetary discrepancies in the cash register and in papers.
Request an explanation from the cashier. In case of failure to provide or direct refusal to draw it up, a special act must be written with the signature of two witnesses.
Issuance by management of an Order (instruction) to compensate for the shortage.
For a cashier who agrees to voluntary compensation, the amount of the shortfall will be written off from the next salary, or he will deposit the money into the cash register himself. You can agree on an installment plan.
If the cashier refuses a refund or if the amount is large, management goes to court.

NOTE! The employer may, after considering the circumstances and the cashier's explanation, completely waive the requirement for compensation at any stage, partially or in full.

Organizing the work of the organization's cash register

An accountant, especially in small companies, has a very wide range of functional responsibilities, which may include accounting, tax accounting, working with banks, paying taxes, and maintaining personnel records. With such extensive work, it's easy to make mistakes.

When hiring a cashier, along with signing an employment contract, a liability agreement is also signed. The person signing the document must be an adult.

There are no fines here, and its execution may complicate the cashier's work. 2 Print a receipt You cannot immediately (before the receipt) issue goods or change.

Write this down in the collective job description or in the employment contracts of cashiers. Salespeople who work at the cash register and are cashiers. And the functions of the cashier who manages the company’s cash register are usually taken over by the chief accountant if there are no others on staff.

This agreement is concluded between the employer and all members of the work team. They are parties to the agreement. The main conditions include the following:

Employees must agree to shared responsibility. Consequently, the employer is obliged to familiarize all employees with the document and obtain their signatures. Only from this moment does their obligation to preserve the employer’s values arise;
Team members must perform the same or related job functions. For example, this could be a construction team working at a remote site. All members of the team interact in one way or another with the material assets of the organization and can damage or destroy them, so assigning full collective responsibility to them is justified;
All employees must have access to the property for which they are responsible. If any member of the team does not have such access, then his liability is excluded.

If a cashier (another person, provided that performing duties for servicing material assets is his main job function) refuses to enter into an agreement, then this can be regarded as a failure to fulfill job duties (see paragraph 36 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated March 17, 2004 N 2 ).

The concept of “material liability” means the employee’s obligation to compensate for damage arising as a result of his actions or inaction. Liability can be full or limited. Most often, financially responsible employees are cashiers - persons responsible for carrying out cash transactions in the organization.

If the amount of damage does not exceed the average monthly earnings of the employee, then recovery from the perpetrator is made by order of management (which must be done no later than one month from the date of final determination of the amount of damage caused by the employee).

If the cashier issued money according to an expense order received from an accountant in which an error was made.

Please note that an incorrectly concluded contract cannot serve as a basis for holding an employee to full financial liability.

In the event that a shortage is identified at the cash register during an inventory, it is collected from the cashier in full . This procedure is carried out as follows :

A thorough check is carried out to determine the cause of the shortage.
The cashier must provide explanations in writing.
Within a month, the financially responsible person is obliged to compensate for losses.
If the cashier does not pay the shortfall, the company management will collect the required amount of money from him in court.

An agreement on the financial responsibility of the cashier must be concluded with the employee on the day of his enrollment in the organization.

A cashier can be either a person specially hired to perform these duties or another employee, including a chief accountant, accountant, administrator or head of an organization.

In a full liability case, the cashier will be required to pay for any damages related to the company's finances.

Cash transactions of a trade organization are actions related to payments made through cash payments, i.e. actions for receiving, issuing and storing cash at the cash desk of a trade organization.

The procedure for conducting cash transactions in the Russian Federation contains general provisions on the procedure for conducting cash transactions and establishes procedural rules for the following sections:

receiving, issuing cash and processing cash documents;
maintaining a cash book and storing funds;
auditing the cash register and monitoring compliance with cash discipline.

According to Article 241 of the Labor Code, the employee compensates for damage caused to the company in the amount of average monthly earnings. In order to be able to recover damages in full from the responsible employee, it is necessary to conclude an agreement on full financial liability.

You can only recover from the cashier the amount of money that is missing from the cash register due to his fault. Thus, an accountant who made a mistake when calculating the due payments to an employee will be responsible for his actions independently.

Although it’s strange for me to hear that the management doesn’t care so much about what’s going on with the cash register, since the sellers allow themselves to do this.

According to Art. 244 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, written agreements on full individual financial responsibility are concluded with employees who have reached the age of 18 and directly service or use monetary, commodity valuables or other property.

In this case, only an employee who is over 18 years old can bear full responsibility. Until the age of majority, such an employee compensates for losses only in the following cases:

intentional damage to the property and valuables of the employer;
when his actions are aimed at damaging property. committed while intoxicated;
if the damage was caused during an offense (administrative or criminal).

According to Decree No. 1006, for failure to comply with this requirement, a fine of twice the amount of the payment made is imposed on the enterprise, and an administrative fine in the amount of 50 minimum wages may be imposed on the heads of enterprises, institutions and organizations that committed this violation.

Sign a document indicating swearing. The employee’s responsibility can also be incurred in the process of performing his job duties. For example, if you suddenly need to replace your only cashier, but the replacement employee does not have such an agreement. Or the employer did not conclude this agreement with the employee during the probationary period, and after its successful completion they sign such a document.

Cashier liability agreement: design and sample

Many professions today require the employee to be responsible for the values he receives from the employer. Particular care and caution must be shown to people working with money. To protect the employer and employee, agreements on financial liability are concluded (Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Chapter 39).

Responsibility for the safety of money and other valuables that the employer entrusts to the employee can be divided according to the amount of compensation for damage into full and partial, as well as according to the circle of persons obliged to compensate for damage, into individual and collective.

Partial mate. liability implies that the employee is obliged to compensate direct damage to the employer in an amount not exceeding his monthly salary. With full mat. liability, the employee pays the entire amount of the shortage or damage, regardless of its size.

The choice between individual and collective responsibility depends on how many people have access to handling money, the premises where the work is carried out, and the same cash register equipment.

An agreement on one or another degree of responsibility can be concluded only with an employee for whom working with money and other valuable property is one of the main job functions.

In this case, only an employee who is over 18 years old can bear full responsibility. Until the age of majority, such an employee compensates for losses only in the following cases:

intentional damage to the property and valuables of the employer;
when his actions are aimed at damaging property. committed while intoxicated;
if the damage was caused during an offense (administrative or criminal).

Because working with money involves complete swearing. responsibility of the cashier, then only an adult employee can be hired for this position.

Before accepting a person for a position that involves full financial responsibility, it is necessary to check the applicant for his legal capacity, the absence of outstanding convictions for property offenses and a ban on holding positions associated with such responsibility.

In addition, sign documents about one or another degree of swearing. liability is possible only with an employee who is registered for work in compliance with all requirements of labor legislation. It is almost impossible to claim compensation for harm from so-called “illegal” workers.

After all, even in the case of theft of funds, calling the police can end in much bigger problems for such an employer.

The list of positions and functional responsibilities of employees with whom the law recommends concluding an agreement on full financial responsibility is contained in Resolution of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation dated December 31, 2002 No. 85. In the same document you can also find standard forms of individual and collective agreements.

When hiring an employee whose position involves performing various cash transactions, in addition to an employment contract, they also conclude with him

The number of copies of the agreement must be at least two, one is kept by the employer, the rest are given to the employees who signed it.

The amount of damage caused, as well as the procedure for compensation, is indicated in accordance with current legislation. The agreement comes into effect from the moment it is signed.

An employee whose position involves working with funds is responsible for their safety and compensates for shortfalls in full, regardless of the fact whether his intentional or unintentional actions led to damage to the employer.

During the performance of official duties, the cashier must:

comply with legal requirements regulating cash transactions;
When accepting cash, check banknotes for authenticity;
ensure the safety of funds;
timely submit cash flow reports to the department responsible for accounting operations;
inform management about situations that may affect the safety of valuables.

Complete swearing. The responsibility of the cash desk employee does not imply that he is obliged to reimburse the money in any case.

The legislation provides for situations when the employee does not compensate for the employer’s losses. These are cases such as:

various man-made and natural disasters;
the employer did not provide conditions for the safety of valuables;
the arrears occurred due to the fault of another employee, for example, an order incorrectly executed by the accounting department to receive money from the company’s cash desk;
illegal actions of other persons.

Example: a cashier brought money from the bank to pay salaries to the company’s employees. However, the safe in which they were supposed to be stored did not open. The employee notified the technical service and his supervisor about the breakdown of the lock. It was not possible to issue money that day, since the accounting department did not have time to prepare salary slips.

By agreement with management, the money was left in the desk drawer and locked. At night, a fire occurred in the building where the cash register was located, and part of the money was burned.

In this situation, guilt is mat. There is no responsible employee, since management knew about the breakdown of the safe, and he took further actions not independently, but with the permission of his superiors.

In order to mate. If the responsible person compensates for the loss of funds, a number of conditions must be met.

First, identifying the fact of a shortage. Losses can be identified during a control recount of values, for example, during an inventory or audit. An employee can independently report a lack of funds in the cash register.
Secondly, after drawing up a statement of shortage, written explanations are taken from the employee. After this, all the circumstances of the incident are clarified and the cashier’s fault for the damage is established. If the amount of the shortage is significant or cases of shortage of money occur periodically, and the employee denies his involvement in the shortage of valuables, then the employer can contact law enforcement agencies. When the employee’s guilt is proven, he may face administrative, and in some situations, criminal liability.
Thirdly, they compensate for the shortfall and resolve the issue of bringing the employee to disciplinary liability. The employee can do this voluntarily. If he refuses to return the money, then if the amount of damage is less than or equal to the monthly salary of such an employee, the head of the organization, by his written order (order), recovers this amount from him.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with How to terminate an agreement on full financial liability

In case of partial financial liability, damages are recovered from the cashier in the following proportions:

Up to 70% of the monthly salary in cases where there was evidence of the employee’s criminal actions in causing it.
Up to 20% of the monthly salary in situations where the employee caused damage through his actions unintentionally or accidentally.

In case of full financial liability, damages are recovered in full accordingly.

An order for forced repayment of the amount of damage must be issued no later than one month after determining the amount of damage caused.

For example, the cashier made a mistake with the change amount and gave the buyer an extra bill. In this case, this was done unintentionally, and the seller reimbursed the money.

If the employee voluntarily agrees to compensate for the shortfall, the employer may allow the amount to be paid not at once, but with a deferment or installment plan. Such an agreement must be made in writing. If, after time has passed, the employee refuses to return the money in whole or in part, then it is necessary to go to court.

The employer can reduce the amount that the employee must pay if any other property of equal value is transferred to him or the situation can be corrected in another way, and he can also exempt the employee from returning the money (Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Articles 240, 248).

If the amount of damage is significant, and the manager and employee have not agreed on its voluntary return, then the employer sues such an employee. When considering a case in court, the court may reduce the amount of compensation. For example, take into account the employee’s financial and marital status, the presence of dependents, etc.

In addition, other ways in which the employee tried to compensate for the damage caused are also taken into account. The distribution of the amount of the shortfall is also taken into account if checkmate. There are several responsible employees (with collective responsibility) and the degree of guilt of each of them is determined. In this situation, the court may also reduce the amount of compensation for one or more employees.

The employer, in addition to demanding a refund, may bring the cashier to disciplinary action. In case of repeated violation or failure to fulfill official duties, such employee may be dismissed.

Types of financial liability

Partial mate. liability implies that the employee is obliged to compensate direct damage to the employer in an amount not exceeding his monthly salary. With full mat. liability, the employee pays the entire amount of the shortage or damage, regardless of its size.

The choice between individual and collective responsibility depends on how many people have access to handling money, the premises where the work is carried out, and the same cash register equipment.

For example, if there is only one cashier at the enterprise, then the agreement will be individual, but when several people work in the store, then a collective agreement can be concluded.

An agreement on one or another degree of responsibility can be concluded only with an employee for whom working with money and other valuable property is one of the main job functions.

In this case, only an employee who is over 18 years old can bear full responsibility. Until the age of majority, such an employee compensates for losses only in the following cases:

intentional damage to the property and valuables of the employer;
when his actions are aimed at damaging property. committed while intoxicated;
if the damage was caused during an offense (administrative or criminal).

Because working with money involves complete swearing. responsibility of the cashier, then only an adult employee can be hired for this position.

How the contract is concluded

A sample contract for the liability of a seller or cashier can be concluded:

according to the established standard form (Resolution of the Ministry of Labor No. 85);
with employees included in the list established by the Resolution;
between the institution and the cashier (or a group of employees);
in two copies, each of which is signed by the head of the enterprise or his deputy and subordinates (team). One copy is kept in the institution, the second is in the hands of the employee.

Any changes are made to both copies.

The administrative document of the manager appoints a person responsible for storing agreements and making changes to them.

Agreements on individual and collective financial liability cannot be signed simultaneously with one employee.

The document is valid from the date of signing. If an employee is transferred to another job, a new agreement should be concluded with him. If the employee does not agree, the manager has the right to offer him another job according to his qualifications. If there is no vacancy, an employee can be dismissed in accordance with the established procedure.

Condition in the employment contract

The technology of attraction and the conditions for the occurrence of full liability must be reflected in the additional agreement. The main agreement may contain a corresponding note.

Without a special agreement, the condition specified in the main document will not have legal force.

Before concluding an individual contract, the employer must check that all conditions for its execution are met. These are:

the employee’s position or description of the job duties he performs are included in the list of Regulations of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation;
the age of majority of the worker.

If there is no agreement of this type, a limited type of financial liability is established in relation to the employee.

It assumes that if damage is caused to the employer or his property, the employee undertakes to pay a compensation amount, the amount of which does not exceed his average monthly income.

The contract can be individual or collective. It all depends on how many employees are responsible for the misconduct.

For example, for store clerks who perform the functions of cashiers, collective financial liability can be established.

Content and structure

Documentation of this nature can be prepared in several ways. To draw up an agreement, the employer can use a unified form, which is present in Appendix No. 2 to Regulations of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation No. 85.

In addition, you can use a sample developed independently.
