Signing Receipt of Checks Form

My boss gave me several checks to give to individuals, and told me to get them to sign off on them when they pick them up. What exactly should the document say when I have them sign off?

An endorsement on a check is often the only receipt needed to prove delivery. However, if your boss wants a signature for the check, you should first find out if there is any specific wording that your boss wants the recipients to sign, such as a disclaimer of other claims, etc. You certainly don't want to find out after everyone has signed, that the boss wanted something particular.

If there is no special purpose for the receipt other than to document delivery of the checks, you could use a simple list of payees and check numbers, along with a signature line for each payee, with a place for a date of the signature. If there is concern that recipients should not know who the other recipients are, create a separate receipt for each check, and include the payee name, dollar amount, check date and serial number, and a place for the delivery date and payee signature.
