Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Human Resources has been working to implement a consistent County-wide classification structure by reclassifying employees to classifications that better align with their duties and responsibilities. The Auditor-Controller’s Office requested an individual classification study be completed for an Accountant/Auditor position in their office. Human Resources has completed the study and is recommending the appropriate classification as Cost Accountant.
Therefore, Human Resources is recommending the Board approve the upward reclassification of 1.0 FTE Accountant/Auditor, position number 987, to a Cost Accountant in the Auditor-Controller’s Office.
• The competitive recruitment and selection process is being waived by the Board of Supervisors in accordance with Personnel Rule 507.1.2.
• The probationary period is being waived at the request of the Auditor-Controller with agreement from the Human Resources Director.
• The salary shall be consistent with Personnel Rule 612, Salary on Reclassification, specifically 612.2, Upward Reclassification.
