Action to Credit Prison Earnings to Trust
The following are undertaken to credit prison earnings to trust:
- Prison earnings are calculated and independently checked by unit staff.
- The Trust Clerk receives weekly prisoner earnings documentation from Units and documentation is checked for prisoners released during the current pay period.
- Any deductions from prisoner earnings are calculated and transferred.
- Earning sheets for all Units are totalled and the voucher is independently checked.
- A manual cheque is prepared and provided to the Trust Clerk or the money is paid by direct credit and details are provided to the trust clerk by administration staff.
- Funds are credited to individual prisoner Trust Accounts.
- Calculation summary forms and time records are retained in date order.
- On receipt of notification of earnings due to a prisoner on release or transfer the Trust Clerk takes action to make payment and balance and close the account.
