Okay short story is that I work with four people per night + my supervisor and they constantly have access to the person's assigned cash till. The float starts off at $150, this is counted by our supervisor at the beginning of the night. The supervisor also counts our till with the cash report at the end of the night.
On nights because I am one of the longest employees there, I am assigned the till. The four other people + supervisor make cash, debit, credit and room charge charges on my till for the full 7 hours. Some nights my till ends up being $20-$50 short.
My work makes it clear that the person that is assigned the till is responsible and has to pay the lost money.
My question is am I actually responsible for that money with the supervisor knowing six people have been accessing the cash till?
shouldn't this be a question to your manager and not to a bunch of random people that know absolutely nothing about your place of business and their policies?
The fact that the supervisor has access to the till throughout the day, yet isnt responsible for the end shortage, means that they could in fact rob the till and make you pay for it as they are your boss. This is a controllership failure. Find another job.
I've asked my manager and supervisor about it and the answer I gave you is the answer they gave me. If it's short, the person assigned the till is responsible.
Niagara Falls boys, check the jobs. if you can find me one let me know.

You'd rather pay up money you don't owe than find another job? If you found that job, you can find another.
You may have a case to actually sue them then if you are being forced to pay the shortage, yet have no authority over the team. That is literally the shizziest policy Ive heard of in some time. The proper controls over a register are as follows.
Clerk works their hours > turns till over to supervisor who tallies the till > Supervisor hands till over to next clerk.
Thats it, no "open all day tills that the most experienced person is responsible for paying shortages for."
That is just a bad way to handle money. I would go find another job.
I am NOT going to be responsible for money in a drawer that has up to seven hands in it.
If it's my till, I count it, coming in, and count it going out, and nobody but me touches it for the whole shift.
Period, end of story.
This thread (and there are a couple similar created by the same author) will likely give you a bunch of good information and particularly since the author is also in Canada:
You have a poor system in place which needs to be taken up with management.
