Distinguishing Characteristics
This class differs from that of the Cashier I in that the Cashier II is responsible for the collection of bills originating from several sources which require the application of different laws, rules, and procedures in accepting full or partial payment increments, assessing penalties and interests on delinquent payments and preparing financial statements as they pertain to the collection of monies from various sources; whereas, the Cashier I is primarily concerned with the over-the-counter collection and the tallying and preparing of daily cash receipt reports of predetermined amounts where the requirements for applying different laws and billing procedures are negligible.The following are examples of duties and are not necessarily descriptive of any one position in this class. The omission of specific duties statements does not preclude management from assigning such duties if such duties are a logical assignment for the position.
