Fast-paced, organisational task - seemingly straightforward but full of pitfalls for the unwary!

You’re preparing pay packets for 12 casual workers. Each team member holds different information on the work dockets. Share this verbally (not by showing) with the whole team to establish who is owed what. Accuracy is paramount (don’t for example confuse workers Tammy Marters and Tommy Masters).

Remember there’s tax to deduct but what is the most efficient stage to do it? Giving the correct pay is vital, naturally! But what coinage do you have? It must serve all pay packs (so don’t use all the $20 notes making up one pack). The knack is to work down from the highest denomination. Obvious when you think about it - but there’s so much to think about. Finally, remember to label the packets before the deadline is up!

How will you know if they get it right? Easy - there should be just two particular coins left over.

Briefs are on the CD-Rom for easy reprinting.
