Check daily cash register receipts against your deposits to help prevent the possibility of employee dishonesty
Immediately mark any checks received as "For Deposit Only"
Property

Keep a safe on site to store small amounts of cash, important documents or other valuable items. Change the safe’s combination periodically.
Consider installing security cameras throughout the property. All entranceways and cashier areas should be kept under surveillance.

Train employees on what they should do in case of robbery. Make it clear they should never endanger themselves by trying to protect money, property or other valuable items.
