On the Job at Taco Bell
Being Late or Missing Work
We understand that you will sometimes be late or absent from work. If you are late
or absent too often, there will be corrective action, which could include losing your
job.
If you are going to be absent or late, let the Manager on duty know at least 3 hours
before your shift starts. If there is an emergency, let your Manager know right
away. If you miss a shift without your Manager’s approval, there will be corrective
action. If you miss work two times in a row without your Manager’s approval, the
company will treat that as though you have quit your job at Taco Bell.
Cash Handling
Here is what to do when you are assigned to work a cash register:
Count your cash drawer before and after your shift. You are responsible
for your cash drawer and its contents.
Don’t let other people use the register
Keep the cash register drawer closed, except when making change.
Ring each sale separately. Close the drawer after each transaction.
Ring each sale right away. Never put money aside to be rung up later.
Do not make change for yourself. Ask your Manger to do it for you.
Go to the Manager when you need to do refunds or discounts. The
Manager must always approve refunds. You are not authorized to use a
manager’s code or keys for this process.
Never cash paychecks or personal checks at the restaurant.
Your store will not accept personal checks from customers unless
authorized by the District Coach. Where authorized, the check must be for
the exact purchase amount and must include the following verified
information; current physical address, driver’s license number, state of
issue, expiration date, home and work phone numbers.
If you do not follow these procedures, or your cash drawer is seriously over or short
too often, there will be corrective action, which could include losing your job.
