Cash documents
The procedure for conducting cash transactions in the Russian Federation is established by the Instructions of the Bank of Russia dated March 11, 2014 No. 3210-U. According to this document, cash transactions are formalized by incoming cash orders (PKO) and outgoing cash orders (RKO). For each PKO and each RKO, entries are made in the cash book. This procedure will continue after the transition to new cash register systems with the function of transmitting data to the tax authorities.
Unified forms cash documents are given in Resolution of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation dated August 18, 1998 No. 88, which continues to be in force at the present time and should be applied in the future - after the transition to online cash registers.
Maintaining a cash book
Any organization, regardless of the taxation system, is required to maintain a cash book (form No. KO-4) if it receives or spends cash (clauses 1, 4, 4.6 of the Procedure for conducting cash transactions). Even the daily delivery of proceeds to the bank, including through collectors, does not exempt you from maintaining a cash book.
If a separate division of an organization receives or expends cash, it is also required to maintain a cash book. In this case, the presence or absence of a current account at a separate division does not play any role (letter of the Bank of Russia dated May 4, 2012 No. 29-1-1-6/3255).
The separate division (SU), within the period established by the head of the organization, transfers to the head division:
- or tear-off copies of sheets of the cash book - when the OP cash book is filled out by hand;
- or second copies of the cash book sheets printed on paper - if the OP’s cash book is filled out on a computer.
In the parent organization, the indicators of the OP's cash book are not entered into the organization's cash book. Sheets of the OP cash book are bookleted separately at least once a year.
Cash balance limit in the cash register
The balance of cash in the cash register at the end of the day should not exceed the limit established by the organization (clause 2 of the Procedure for conducting cash transactions). This rule does not apply to individual entrepreneurs and small business organizations that can keep any amount of cash in the cash register.
Formulas for calculating the cash balance limit at the cash desk are given in the Appendix to Bank of Russia Instructions No. 3210-U.
Issuance and delivery of small change coins
The current regulations governing the use of cash register systems do not provide for the presence of a balance cash(change coins and banknotes) in the KKT cash drawer either at the beginning of the working day or at the end of the working day. Therefore, before the start of the work shift, the cashier gives the cashier-operator some change money. To do this, the cashier writes out a cash register for the amount of exchange, in which in the line “Issue” he indicates the full name of the cashier-operator, and in the line “Base” he writes “For exchange”.
If in trade organization There are senior and ordinary cashiers, then the senior cashier gives the change coin to the cashier-operators. The amount of the change coin indicated in the cash register is recorded by the senior cashier in the cash book (form KO-4) and in the book of accounting for funds received and issued by the cashier (form KO-5). This procedure is established in clause 4.5 of the Procedure for conducting cash transactions and will continue to apply when using the online cash register.
Thus, as before, in the absence of a senior cashier, an expense cash order is sufficient to issue a change coin, and in the presence of a senior cashier, it is necessary, in addition to registering cash registers, to keep a book in the KO-5 form.
Fiscal documents instead of standardized forms for CCP
Unified forms for cash register equipment
To record cash settlements with the population when carrying out trade operations using cash register systems, organizations used unified forms primary accounting documentation KM-1-KM-9, approved by Resolution of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation dated December 25, 1998 No. 132:
- KM-1 “Act on transferring the readings of summing money counters to zeros and registering control counters of cash registers”;
- KM-2 “Act on taking readings from control and summing cash counters when handing over (sending) the cash register for repairs and when returning it to the organization”;
- KM-3 “Act on the return of funds to buyers (clients) for unused cash receipts”;
- KM-4 “Journal of cashier-operator”;
- KM-5 “Logbook of recording readings of summing cash and control counters of cash registers operating without a cashier-operator”;
- KM-6 “Certificate-report of cashier-operator”;
- KM-7 “Information on KKM meter readings and the organization’s revenue”, etc.
Since this resolution is not a regulatory legal act adopted in accordance with Law No. 54-FZ, now, according to officials, it is not subject to mandatory use(letters of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated May 12, 2017 No. 03-01-15/28914, dated April 4, 2017 No. 03-01-15/19821, dated January 25, 2017 No. 03-01-15/3482, dated September 16, 2016 No. 03- 01-15/54413).
Consequently, organizations that use new online cash registers are not required to issue cashier-operator certificates (form KM-6) and keep a cashier-operator journal (form KM-4) for each cash register (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated May 12, 2017 No. 03-01-15/28914).
In connection with the entry into force new edition 54-FZ The Bank of Russia plans to make changes to Directive No. 3210-U. In particular, in the new edition of clauses 5.2 and 6.6 of the Rules for Conducting Cash Operations, it will be established that incoming cash orders (PKO) and outgoing cash orders (RKO) must be issued on the basis of fiscal documents (as of the draft as of 03/01/2017).
Fiscal documents
Fiscal documents are fiscal data (information on calculations), which are presented in established formats on paper or electronically (Article 1.1 of Law No. 54-FZ).
Fiscal documents include (clause 4 of article 4.1 of Law No. 54-FZ):
- registration report;
- report on changes in registration parameters;
- shift opening report;
- cash receipt(form strict reporting);
- correction cash receipt (strict correction reporting form);
- shift closing report;
- closing report fiscal storage;
- report on the current status of settlements;
- operator confirmation.
Formats of fiscal documents that are mandatory for use, as well as additional details of fiscal documents, are approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated March 21, 2017 No. ММВ-7-20/229@.
Shift duration
In accordance with legal requirements, work with fiscal equipment is divided into cash register shifts. Before the start of settlements using cash register systems, a report on the opening of a shift is generated, and upon completion of settlements, a report on the closure of a shift is generated. At the same time, a cash register receipt cannot be generated later than 24 hours from the moment the report on the opening of a shift is generated (clause 2, article 4.3 of Law No. 54-FZ).
That is, a shift when working at an online cash register cannot last more than 24 hours. This requirement for the duration of the shift is explained by the capabilities of the fiscal drive. In the case when the shift exceeds 24 hours, the fiscal sign of the document is not generated on the cash register receipt (paragraph 9, paragraph 1, article 4.1 of Law No. 54-FZ).
A shift at a cash register can be opened one day and closed the next day with a total duration of no more than 24 hours. Law No. 54-FZ does not contain any other restrictions regarding the duration of the shift, as well as requirements for closing the shift at the exact specified time (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated May 5, 2017 No. 03-01-15/28066).
Shift closing report
When closing a shift on the old cash registers, a Z-report was generated, which was the basis for making an entry in form KM-4 (“Journal of the cashier-operator”) (attachment to the letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated June 10, 2011 No. AS-4-2/9303@, letters of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for Moscow dated January 20, 2011 No. 17-15/4707, dated April 20, 2011 No. 17-15/38757). Based on the Z-report, a certificate-report of the cashier-operator (KM-6) was drawn up and data was entered into the cashier-operator’s journal (KM-4).
Since when using new cash registers it is not necessary to maintain forms KM-4 and KM-6, at the end of the shift a report on the closure of the shift is generated, on the basis of which a PKO is drawn up and an entry is made in the cash book.
Data on the amounts of cash received by the cash register for a shift are given in the report on the closure of the shift: the indicator “Total amount in checks (TSR) in cash” in the “Receipt” transaction counters” attribute of the “Shift totals counters” variable.
Please note that based on one report on closing a shift, several PKOs can be generated depending on the type of transaction and the entries that will be made in accounting when cash is posted to the organization’s cash desk:
- full payment for the sale of goods, works, services (Debit 50, Credit 90-1);
- partial payment for the sale of goods, works, services (Debit 50, Credit 62-1);
- prepayment on account future implementation goods, works, services (Debit 50, Credit 62-2).
Documentation of returns
Return of goods on the day of purchase
When returning funds to the buyer on the day of purchase, cash register is mandatory (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated May 12, 2017 No. 03-01-15/28914). Funds are issued to the buyer from the cash drawer of the cash register on the basis of a receipt issued upon purchase of the goods.
When issuing cash, the buyer must run a cash register receipt indicating the payment attribute “RETURN OF RECEIPT”. There is no need to issue a certificate of return of funds to buyers (KM-3).
The return check of the cash register is transferred to the tax authorities through the fiscal data operator in the same manner as all other checks of the cash register (letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated April 4, 2017 No. 03-01-15/19821).
Data on the returned amounts are reflected in the report on the closure of the shift: the indicator “Total amount in checks (TSR) in cash” in the “Counters of transactions “Return of receipts”” of the attribute “Counters of shift totals”.
When recording the amounts of cash received by the cash register for a shift, the difference between the receipt amount and the receipt return amount must be reflected in the PKO. In other words, revenue from the sale of goods, works, and services in the PKO is reflected minus the amounts returned.
Return of goods not on the day of purchase
Today, even specialists from the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation do not know how to correctly process a refund for goods returned on a date other than the day of purchase. Therefore, officials recommend contacting the Bank of Russia on this issue (letters from the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated May 12, 2017 No. 03-01-15/28914, dated March 1, 2017 No. 03-01-15/11622). The officials did not say in any of their letters that return check must be processed for any refund, regardless of the date of return of the goods.
Since to date no new procedure for processing the return of goods has been approved, in our opinion, refunds for goods returned on a date other than the day of purchase should be returned in the same manner.
Step 1. Based on the buyer’s application for the return of goods, it is necessary to issue a cash register receipt, in which the buyer will put his signature, and give the buyer money from the main cash register (and not from the cash register cash drawer).
Step 2. Based on cash settlement, an entry should be made in the cash book.
Thus, on the day when the money for the returned goods was returned from the main cash register, the cashier issues a PKO for the full amount of revenue received by the cashier-operator, and a PKO for the amount of money returned to the buyer.
When returning a previously made prepayment, in our opinion, organizations should run a cash register receipt, regardless of the date of its payment. Funds should be returned from the cash drawer of the cash register.

If the cash register limit is exceeded by the end of the day?
The current procedure for storing cash at the cash register is not always convenient, except for small businesses where there is no cash limit. Often, more money accumulates in the cash register than the law allows. The fines for exceeding the cash limit are quite impressive. They range from 40,000 to 50,000 rubles.

All actions can be carried out through personal account on the website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia. In addition, all information about calculations will be automatically transmitted to tax authorities through fiscal data operators.
Innovations will improve financial efficiency the use of cash register systems, reduce the cost of maintenance and re-registration of equipment, and reduce the risk of financial fraud. The changes are aimed at increasing the transparency of payments made in cash, as well as reducing the number of tax audits.
Liability and penalties
For non-compliance with the legislation regarding the conduct of cash transactions, administrative liability is provided. Part 1 of Article 15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses establishes:
- Punishment for legal entities that violated Regulation 318 on the procedure for conducting cash transactions and Instructions No. 3210-U is a fine of 40,000 to 50,000 rubles.

The procedure for organizing and conducting cash transactions
In order for an institution to avoid problems with regulatory authorities, it is necessary to comply with several key requirements for recording cash flow. Let's look at the key conditions for organizing an online cash register in 2020.
Observe the following procedure for conducting cash transactions:
- Assign a cashier. Enter a new staff position “accountant-cashier” or assign the responsibilities for conducting cash payments to another specialist. Please note that only full-time employee institutions. Such responsibilities cannot be assigned to a freelancer or contract worker. Familiarize the cashier with the current procedure for maintaining a cash register against signature.
- Approve your cash limit. The cash balance limit is the maximum amount of cash that can be stored in a specialized room every day, that is, in the cash register. The exception is days of payment of salaries, benefits and scholarships. On other days, the amount of money exceeding the limit for cash transactions must be deposited into a current account.
- Record every cash transaction. Any movement of money, receipt or expense at the cash desk must be reflected in the appropriate document. And not only primary, but also registered in the accounting journal.
- Reflect transactions in accounting. For each cash transaction at the cash desk, an appropriate accounting entry must be made. Reflect the movement of money in the appropriate accounts in accordance with the instructions for maintaining accounting records.
- Ensure total control of operations. Organize systematic checks. Only professional control and verification of how the rules of cash management are observed will allow you to avoid fines for violating cash discipline.
Unified forms for cash transactions
As before, cash transactions in 2020 are formalized using mandatory unified forms of primary accounting documents. These are forms approved by Decree of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation dated August 18, 1998 No. 88: incoming cash order (abbr. PKO, code OKUD 0310001), outgoing cash order (abbr. RKO, code OKUD 0310002), cash book (code OKUD 0310004). When issuing wages from the cash register, a payroll (OKUD code 0301011) or a payroll slip (OKUD code 0301009), approved. .
By letter dated July 21, 2017 No. 03-01-15/46715, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation confirmed that the use of unified forms related to the maintenance of cash registers (Resolution of the State Statistics Committee of Russia dated December 25, 1998 No. 132) in accordance with the “Standard Rules for the Operation of Cash Registers. ..” (RF Ministry of Finance dated August 30, 1993 No. 104), optional!
In particular, the rules for conducting cash transactions in 2020 recognize the following forms as optional:
- cashier-operator's journal;
- certificate of payment from the cashier-operator;
- a log of recording the readings of summing cash and control counters of cash register machines operating without a cashier-operator;
- information about the meter readings of cash register machines and the organization’s revenue;
- act on transferring summing money counters to zeros and registering control counters cash register;
- an act on taking readings from control and summing cash counters when handing over (sending) a cash register machine for repair and when returning it to the organization;
- an act of returning money to buyers (clients) for unused cash receipts (including erroneously punched cash receipts);
- call log technical specialists and registration of completed work;
- act on checking cash in the cash register.
However, some forms remained mandatory elements of cash flow accounting. Each institution is obliged to form required documents when cash flows.
Current forms and samples
Since not all documents used to document cash transactions were abolished due to the introduction of online cash registers, we will list which cash documents were canceled in 2020 and which continue to be used. So, for example, when making cash payments within an institution, you will have to generate special forms.
The key purpose of cash settlements in an institution is the issuance of accountable money. For example, cash is issued from the cash register for the purchase of materials, travel expenses for employees and other payments. Registration of such transactions at the cash desk of the institution is carried out in a special way.
All expense transactions, that is, the withdrawal of cash from the cash register, are documented with an expense cash order.
So, for example, you should formalize the issuance of money to an employee of an institution.
Example of filling out RKO
Operations for the receipt of cash at the cash desk are formalized using a cash receipt order.
Moreover, receipts can come not only from employees, but also from the bank’s current account to the organization’s cash desk. For example, an institution issues wages and cash benefits.
Example of filling out the PQS
All expenditure and receipt transactions are recorded in a special document - a cash book, taking into account the chronological order of registration and maintenance of accounting data.
Filling example
Using cash registers in 2020
Economic entities are implementing online cash registers in stages. In accordance with paragraph 4 of Art. 7 of Federal Law No. 290 dated 07/03/2016, from 02/01/2017 new cash register equipment can only be used through a fiscal data operator.
From 07/01/2017, the obligation to use only the new cash register came into effect, that is, registration was terminated from this date cash register equipment in the manner established by the old version of the law dated May 22, 2003 No. 54-FZ (as amended on March 8, 2015). The transition took place in several stages. And now almost all organizations and individual entrepreneurs working with cash must use online cash register systems. In accordance with the rules for conducting cash transactions, in 2020, KKM has the right not to apply to companies operating:
- named in paragraph 2 of Art. 2 54-FZ;
- in remote and hard-to-reach places;
- in the field of religious rites and ceremonies, the sale of religious objects;
- pharmacy organizations V rural areas;
- by providing parking spaces on state-owned land plots;
- paid library services;
- accepting cash for public utilities;
- educational services to the population;
- provision of services in the field physical culture and sports;
- provision of services by cultural and creative centers.
For clarity, we will present the step-by-step procedure for implementing the new edition of Law No. 54-FZ in the form of a block diagram.
Today, there are already more than 100 models of online cash registers, and existing OFDs ensure the transfer of data from cash registers to the OFD, Federal Tax Service and Unified State Automated Information System. The current register of cash registers can be found on the official website of the Federal Tax Service.
According to Law 54-FZ, the fiscal data operator is obliged to:
- store, process and protect fiscal data from modification, ensuring their confidentiality;
- transfer fiscal data from cash register to the Federal Tax Service;
- send the buyer a check electronically and provide the ability to check the check online.
For each online cash register, the OFD collects and updates a lot of parameters: opening and closing times of the shift, amount of cash, average receipt, etc. This means that any point of sale can now be checked via the Internet in a matter of minutes. In addition, the built-in services of some OFDs allow you not only to store the received data, but also to generate various reports.
After the introduction of online cash registers, all their owners, starting from 08/19/2017, are required to perform the following actions through their personal account of the cash register equipment (clause 1 of Chapter I of the order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated 05/29/2017 No. ММВ-7-20/):
- respond within three days to requests from the Federal Tax Service received through your personal account;
- report non-use of CC machines or within three days from the date of elimination of identified violations during its use;
- report your agreement or disagreement with the data received from the Federal Tax Service about detected violations within one working day.
The transmitted information must be signed with an enhanced qualified electronic digital signature(EDS). After receiving such a message, the Federal Tax Service must confirm the fact of receipt by placing a receipt in the cash register office. Information and documents can also be transmitted on paper to the tax authorities.
What to do if the cash register malfunctions
Many users of online cash registers encountered a massive outage on December 20, 2017. As a result of uncertainty about how to operate in such a situation and fear of penalties, many retail outlets throughout the country. As a result, the Federal Tax Service urgently issued a clarification in which it explained the procedure for action in the event of a massive technical failure in the operation of the cash register (letter dated December 20, 2017 No. ED-4-20/25867). It concluded that institutions can continue to operate in this case without the use of cash registers; in this case, there will be no penalties. After the system is restored to working order, the user is required to generate a correction cash receipt, which must reflect the total amount of revenue unaccounted for by cash register.
How not to violate cash discipline if the only cash register that the company uses in its activities breaks down? If the CCP breaks down, the organization has the right to conduct business without using it. In this case, the buyer is given a paper document confirming the fact of payment (for example, a sales receipt). Immediately after fixing the breakdown, in order to avoid a fine, you must ():
- generate a correction check for each operation;
- report the situation in writing, indicating information about each correction check created.
It is very important to follow the procedure before the Federal Tax Service finds out about a breakdown as a result of an inspection. Only in this case penalties will not be applied. In order not to find yourself in a situation where it is impossible to work if the cash register breaks down, the tax authorities suggest purchasing a spare one. cash register(letter No. ED-4-20/24899).
Federal Tax Service checks
If previously, before the change in the procedure for cash transactions in 2012, control over cash transactions was assigned to banks, now its implementation is entrusted to the Federal Tax Service. When conducting a visiting tax audit the commission will check compliance with cash discipline in general: not only the fact of the availability of primary cash documents and the procedure for accounting for funds in the cash register, but also:
- whether cash payments were made in excess of the established limit;
- how cash proceeds are accounted for (including verification fiscal memory CCT);
- Is the procedure for storing available cash in the cash register followed?
- does the amount of cash balance correspond to the established cash limit;
- whether the requirements for issuing cash register checks (or BSO) at the buyer’s request, established by the current version of Federal Law No. 54-FZ dated May 22, 2003, are met.
Responsibility for violations of registration of cash transactions
Violation of the procedure for working with cash and the procedure for conducting cash transactions in 2020 is punishable. A violation is the failure to receive cash proceeds, non-compliance cash limit, settlements with counterparties in cash in excess of established norms, non-compliance with the procedure for storing funds. For such offenses an administrative fine is provided.
If cash discipline in 2020 does not meet the stated requirements, violators will be fined:
- for officials - from 4,000 to 5,000 rubles;
- for legal entities - from 40,000 to 50,000 rubles.
Changes were made to the Procedure for Conducting Cash Operations by the Central Bank, which came into force on August 19, 2017. We will tell you in this article what has changed in cash operations in 2017, the preparation of cash documents, and the procedure for issuing accountable funds.
What regulates the procedure for conducting cash transactions in 2017?
Cash discipline of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, regardless of the taxation regime they apply, is regulated by a single regulatory act - Directive of the Bank of Russia dated March 11, 2014 No. 3210-U “On the procedure for conducting cash transactions.” Since August 19, 2017, this document has been in effect in a new edition (Instruction of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation dated June 19, 2017 No. 4416-U).
The procedure for conducting cash transactions when using online cash register systems
Before introduction online cash register technology The sellers were guided by clause 5.2 of the Cash Management Procedure, drawing up a cash receipt order (CRO) at the end of the day for the total amount of “cash” received. The PKO was issued on the basis of the control tape removed from the cash register, strict reporting forms replacing the cash register receipt, and other documents specified in the law on cash registers dated May 22, 2003 No. 54-FZ. Now this paragraph of the Rules for Conducting Cash Transactions has been canceled, and one should focus on paragraph 4.1 set out in the new edition, which instructs organizations and individual entrepreneurs to draw up PKOs on the basis of “paper” or electronic fiscal documents - checks, BSO and others, in accordance with the law on cash register systems.
Maintaining a cash book and issuing cash orders
A cash book in form No. KO-4 is necessary to keep records of cash transactions of cash receipts and withdrawals. All legal entities are required to maintain a cash book, but small businesses are allowed not to set a cash limit.
In addition, individual entrepreneurs may not issue receipts and expenditure orders at all, and not maintain a cash book, but only on the condition that they keep records of income, income/expenses, or physical indicators in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (clause 4.1 of the Procedure). This is a simplified procedure for cash transactions for entrepreneurs.
With the entry into force of the amendments, the circle of persons who can make entries in the company's cash book has significantly expanded. If until August 19, 2017, only the cashier had the right to do this, now this can be any person authorized by the manager - an employee of the enterprise (clause 4 of the Procedure).
Registration of cash transactions upon receipt of cash is accompanied by the preparation of a cash receipt order in form No. KO-1. Unlike the “consumables”, the PKO consists of two parts - an order and a tear-off receipt with the seal and signatures of the cashier and chief accountant, which is handed over to the depositor of money. Previously, even if the PKO was issued electronically with electronic signatures, the receipt for transferring the “cash” to the depositor still needed to be printed on paper. Now, when forming a “prikhodnik” in electronic format, the receipt can be sent to email the depositor, if he asks for it. If the PKO in the organization is issued in “paper” form, the receipt is handed over exclusively in person (clause 5.1 of the Procedure).
The Central Bank has “simplified” some cash transactions. In an electronic cash receipt order, it is no longer necessary to verify the compliance of electronic signatures with the sample (clause 6.1 of the Procedure). The recipient of cash can also put his/her electronic signature(clause 6.2 of the Procedure).
Conducting cash transactions when issuing “accountable” money
Cash can be issued to employees - accountable persons for production needs, business trips, etc. Having spent the money received, the “accountable” must report on its use by providing an advance report and supporting documents within 3 working days after the end of the period for which the funds were issued, or from the day he returned to work after returning from a business trip.
Innovations in the Procedure for conducting cash transactions by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs have significantly affected the “accountable” area. From August 19, 2017, cash can be issued to an “accountable employee” either on the basis of an internal administrative document - order, instruction, etc., or upon a written application from an employee. Previously, a statement indicating the amount and purposes for which accountable funds were needed was mandatory and the only basis for registering cash settlements. The contents of the administrative document or application drawn up in any form must contain the following information: Full name. accountable person, the amount issued in cash, the period for which it is issued, the purpose of the issue, the signature of the manager and the date (clause 6.3 of the Procedure).
Another important change in the 2017 Cash Operations Procedure is the lifting of the ban on issuing accountable money to employees who are in arrears on past advances.
Until August 19, 2017, the issuance of funds to someone who had not yet accounted for cash received earlier or had not returned it to the cash desk was considered a gross violation of cash discipline and was subject to a fine of up to 50 thousand rubles, according to Art. 15.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. This rule no longer applies: even if the accountable person did not provide an advance report for the money received, or did not hand it over to the cashier within 3 days after deadline, you can give him new money for “accountability”. This conclusion follows in connection with the exclusion of paragraph 3 from clause 6.3 of the Procedure approved by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Conducting cash transactions does not prohibit legal entities and individual entrepreneurs from setting a limit on the amount of accountable amounts, beyond which new advances will not be issued to the employee. Such a restriction will help to avoid the unjustified accumulation of debt for “accountables”.
Also, accountable money not returned by employees on time, which they did not report, can be withheld from their salary. To do this, no later than one month after the end of the established period, a collection order is issued. In this case, you must obtain consent from the employee to withhold. If he does not agree with the amount collected, the employer will have to go to court (Articles 137, 248 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
