Minimal sick time and vacation time offered. Obviously, this job description is a recipe for disaster. Never allow the same person who reconciles the bank statements to also sign the checks. Petty cash should be kept under strict controls. Anytime there is cash around, there s a potential for abuse.
Independent work is fine unless it means total autonomy.
This breeds feelings of control, power and ownership over company funds. Minimal supervision creates an opportunity for fraud. With no one looking over a clerk s shoulder, he or she could easily rig the books for embezzlement. You probably wouldn t post a job without offering vacation and sick time. But you may think yourself lucky if an employee never calls in sick and declines vacation time, citing a heavy workload.
