This is supervisory clerical work in receiving and accounting for cash and in performing related duties.

Employees are responsible for supervising subordinates in receiving and maintaining routine records of cash received for fills, fees, and taxes, and for maintaining accounting records of monies received and banked. An employee relieves subordinate cashiers as required. Work is performed under the general supervision of a superior officer, but routine day-to-day management of assigned areas of responsibility is left to the discretion of the employee.
