What this sheet is for
See the whole week's floats across every till on one page, and spot the drawer or the shift that is repeatedly over or short before it turns into a stocktake surprise.
Who it is for
Shop managers, keyholders and whoever holds the safe in a shop with more than one till or more than one shift a day.
How to use it
- Write the week and your shop's own float amount at the top.
- As each float goes out, log the till number, the amount and the initials of whoever took it.
- At close, write the declared cash, the till's cash reading and the difference, with initials from the person declaring and the person counting.
- Total the week's over and short and note where each difference is explained.
- Have the sheet checked and signed before the next week's sheet starts.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Each float that leaves the safe for a till and each declaration that comes back at close — one line per till per day for a week, signed out and signed in, with the over or short beside it.
Signed out, signed in. This is the safe's side of the story, not the drawer's. The till's own count by denomination goes on the Cash Float and Till Count Sheet; this sheet records who took which float out, who declared it back, and whether the two agree. The float amount is whatever your shop sets — write it in, it is not printed here.
Write-on lines: Shop / branch · Week beginning · Standard float · Safe holder

Questions
How is this different from the Cash Float and Till Count Sheet?
That sheet is one till, one day, counted by denomination. This is the safe holder's register: every till, every day for a week, floats out and declarations in. Most shops with one till only need the first; a shop with three tills and two shifts needs this one as well.
Why is no float amount printed?
Because the float is your decision and depends on what you sell and how you are paid. There is a blank for it at the top and a column for what actually went out each day, which is not always the same thing.
