Support Services Division
Central Reproduction Unit
The Central Reproduction Unit completes large scale copy projects such as
photocopy, multilith, mimeograph, etc. Provide a service window or "Dutch-door"
in order to control traffic into unit. This unit has no public access or visitor traffic.
Increased floor loading may be required to support equipment. Adequate
ventilation and dedicated circuits for reproduction equipment is required. Large
flat work surfaces for processing orders are also required.
Finance Unit
The Finance unit handles the same functions as the Finance Division
including miscellaneous payments of benefits to veterans and their beneficiaries
and conducts a program of payment of administrative expenditures incident to
operations. This unit is also responsible for the system of receipt of funds due
VA and the cash, check, EFT, or draft payment of funds payable. Additionally,
the Finance Unit administers a comprehensive, integrated accounting system
including detailed cost accounting and serves as the station's point of contact for
fiscal matters.
Included in the Finance Unit is the Agent Cashier. The Agent Cashier's office
should be adjacent to the Finance Unit and in an alcove to reduce congestion in
the hallway. Optimally, the Agent Cashier should be located within the public
area; however, if this is not feasible, situate the Agent Cashier on an easily
accessible corridor with high visibility. Provide wire mesh above ceiling, and
bullet resistant glass at the cashier's window. If two windows are installed, one
must be handicapped accessible. If a single window is used then it must be
handicapped accessible.
The Finance Unit, except for the Agent Cashier, has little visitor traffic . The
work flow is not dependent on a prior function, so work does not have to
progress from one section to the next. This unit requires open office areas to
accommodate systems furniture.
