Title
Human Resources Department recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 215-2018 to:
1) Approve the reclassification (reallocation) of one (1.0 FTE) Internal Auditor position to one (1.0 FTE) Principal Financial Analyst position; and
2) Abolish the existing Internal Auditor class specification.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
By way of background, the County of El Dorado (County) retained Koff & Associates (K&A) to conduct a County-wide classification study to ensure current classification specifications are consistent with industry standards and that employees are in the correct classifications based on the duties and responsibilities assigned. K&A provided a final classification report in May 2017. Ms. Tsung Hsu, Internal Auditor did not complete a position description questionnaire during the County-wide classification study; therefore, a recommendation was not provided for her position.
At the request of the Auditor Controller, the Human Resources Department (HR) conducted a limited classification study of a single position assigned to the Internal Auditor classification.
Given the analysis within the attached Final Classification Report, HR finds that Principal Financial Analyst is the appropriate classification for Ms. Hsu’s position. Reclassifying Ms. Hsu to the Principal Financial Analyst classification will have no impact on her compensation as the salaries for the Principal Financial Analyst and the Internal Auditor are the same. In addition, abolishing the Internal Auditor classification will provide further assurance that in the event of a layoff, Ms. Hsu’s seniority date will be the date she was hired as an Internal Auditor in 2008.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the recommended reclassification/reallocation and provide further direction to the Human Resources Department on the matter.
