Pros

Cons
There is only one back up bookkeepper and they only work when you are off. If your a fulltime bookkeeper. You are the reason why the storw runs. The problem in only having one back up is that they only help on your day off. Your responsiblities for one day is unachievalble for one day. Not to mention if the store is busy you have to stop your work and peehaps get on register. Anyhow, you have to process all sick days for employees. You have to complete terminations, and new hires. Which is fine because you are the bookkeeper. But it is hard to do that if you have 13 tills to counts, and a plethora of money pick ups from the register. Although the paperwork has to be done. The money is important because you have to make sure you count it all by time the bank comes. You may count 15 thousand dollars a day. 30 thousand on a holiday. All by hand! No money counting machine. Its alot to handle in one day. Fix punches, count money. Count all coinstars, wic checks, bottle depoists, manfactor coupons. Then possibly give someonw break. Then do your paperwork, then enter every dept. Their schedule in the system. Make sure that the schedule is according the budget. If not you have to cut the hours. Then count more money. The list goes onn..oh yeah make sure its all done in 7 to 8. Your not allowed to go overtime. Good luck making sure everyone gets paid corretly, and all your money is counted by hand.
