Cheque Writing Policy
Xaxli’p Finance Department has reviewed its cheque writing procedure and
we have come up with a cheque writing policy. These changes are not to
make it difficult for band members; the intention IS better time management
for finance staff and cheque signors.
We have had a cheque writing policy that we have implemented with another department manager for over a year now; this policy was used very loosely.
The policy will need to be enforced immediately.
Cheques will be processed on Wednesdays only, all requests will be
complied from Thursday to Wednesday, if a request comes to
Finance on Thursday the cheque will not be processed until the
following Wednesday.
Distribution of cheques will be on Friday, and they can be pick-up
from the department manger(s). Finance will no longer distribute
cheques, if you request a cheque from one of the department
managers you are requested to pick up the cheque from that
department. Please do not call finance to see if a cheque is
processed, contact the department head only.
There will be exceptions to the above policy when it comes to patient
travel and emergency. Unless it falls within these two categories a
cheque Will not be processed until Wednesday.
Once again this is not to inconvenience band membership, it is a better to use
finance 5 times for other financial duties.
