Explain workplace ethics regarding cash handling, security features of banknotes, differences between X and Z reads, and risks of leaving cash unsecured.

Here are the answers to the scenarios: 11. Scenario: Putting the K50 note directly into your personal pocket violates workplace ethics because it creates a lack of transparency and can be perceived as theft or misappropriation of company funds. All money received, even if offered as a tip or "keep the change," must be processed through the company's point-of-sale (POS) system and recorded as revenue. This ensures accurate accounting, prevents fraud, and maintains trust between employees and the employer. 12. Scenario: Two distinct physical security features on a high-value banknote to verify its authenticity are: • A watermark, which is an image or pattern embedded in the paper that is visible when held up to the light. • A security thread, a thin strip embedded in the paper, often with microprinting, that is also visible when held to the light and may glow under UV light. 13. Scenario: An X-Read provides a snapshot of the current sales and cash totals in the register without clearing the data, allowing for mid-shift checks. A Z-Read, performed at the end of a trading day, finalizes the sales data, resets the register totals to zero, and provides a comprehensive report for daily reconciliation. 14. Scenario: It is dangerous to leave K4,000 in cash in the desk drawer overnight due to the high risk of theft or burglary, which could result in significant financial loss for the resort. This cash should be securely deposited in a locked safe or a secure night deposit box at a bank, following the resort's established cash handling procedures. 3 done, 2 left today.
