Launch the plan when you hire. The offer letter and cash policy reach their phone, the store manager countersigns, and both land in their file before their first shift.

When a drawer comes up short, you know what they agreed to
The cash handling policy each cashier signed sits in their file with its certificate page: what they agreed to, when, and from which device.
Last season's associates, kept for this one
Terminate in January keeps every file and signature. Restore in October brings them back, and the courses they finished count as done when you launch their plan again.

- Support from real people, like the paid plans
Before the holidays you hire fast, and new associates are on the register within days. There's no time to train each one properly, so they learn from whoever is on shift. Then a drawer comes up short, and you can't show what they agreed to. I think the busiest month is exactly when you need a plan. In FirstHR every new associate signs your cash policy and watches your register videos before their first shift.
