From: Robert Campbell, Auditor-Controller
Report Title: Add two Accounting Technicians and Cancel one Payroll Systems Accountant
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26411 to add two (2) Accounting Technician (JD7A) (represented) positions at salary plan and grade 3RX-1236 ($5,320 - $6,793) and cancel one (1) vacant Payroll Systems Accountant (SATC) (represented) position #00016220 at salary plan and grade ZB5-1694 ($8,394 - $10,202) in the Office of the Auditor-Controller.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is effectively cost neutral. The adjustment would result in a minimal annual cost of approximately $5,240. This amount would be offset by Accounting and Auditing Fees.
BACKGROUND:
The Office of the Auditor Controller immediately requires additional staff to assist with specialized clerical accounting work in reviewing, processing and recording financial transactions within the Accounts Payable Section. This level of work is above the Account Clerk classification currently in Accounts Payable. Adding two Accounting Technician positions in the current fiscal year would enable the Department to immediately recruit and potentially fill the positions and work towards addressing any backlog of transactions in Accounts Payable.
The Payroll Systems Accountant position has been vacant for over a year and the department has determined that the position is no longer needed with the Payroll Systems Administrator positions filled.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the new positions the Department goals and core tasks will be negatively impacted and delay processing of certain processes.
