title
Amend the Accountant-Auditor II classification specification
body
HUMAN RESOURCES' RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Human Resources recommends the Civil Service Commission modify the Accountant-Auditor II classification specification.
SUMMARY:
The Department of Human Resources recommends the Civil Service Commission modify the Accountant-Auditor II classification specification to include supervision over clerical and paraprofessional accounting staff.
DISCUSSION:
The Accountant-Auditor II classification is represented by SEIU, Local 1021. There are six (6) allocations of Accountant-Auditor II in the Auditor-Controller's Office. This classification is not allocated to any other department in the County.
Currently, the Accountant-Auditor II is a journey-level classification in which incumbents perform a full range of complex professional auditing and accounting functions. Employees at this level work independently and exercise sound judgment in carrying out auditing and accounting responsibilities for countywide programs. This classification also provides technical and functional guidance to clerical, paraprofessional, and professional accounting staff.
Notably, the Accountant (Journey) classification already includes supervision of clerical and paraprofessional staff within the accounting function. The Accountant-Auditor II classification is closely related to, but more advanced than, the journey-level Accountant position. Extending supervisory responsibilities to the Accountant-Auditor II is consistent with existing practices across other County departments for classifications within similar job families such as the Accountant (Journey).
Since, the Accountant-Auditor III classification supervises clerical, paraprofessional and professional accounting staff, including supervision of clerical and paraprofessional staff at the Accountant-Auditor II level establishes a supervisory career path to the higher-level classification.
