Summary of Request

The Human Resources Department is charged, as part of the overall maintenance of the classification and compensation plan, to evaluate current classifications, create new classifications (including appropriate salary levels), reclassify positions, examine requests for salary grade adjustments, analyze allocations, and make recommendations for additions, modifications, and corrections. 

 

Following a classification study conducted within the Fiscal Unit of the Department of Social Services, Human Resources determined that one incumbent has been working out of class.  The incumbent is currently classified as a Staff Services Administrator, but the work being performed consists of duties and responsibilities of an Administrative Manager I.  The incumbent has assumed supervision and operation oversight of the CA 800 reporting process as well as the Accounts Payable unit with the department.  These responsibilities include streamlining and restructuring the AP processes, working closely with the procurement, contracts, and vendors unit to ensure invoicing, cost allocation, and coding are accurate and optimized for the County Expense Claim and reimbursement.

 

Additionally, the incumbent has taken on department-wide budget oversight, including fiscal monitoring, projections, and alignment with program operations as well as providing training and technical guidance to program staff and new hires related to time studies, cost allocation, and the department’s expense and revenue structures, strengthening fiscal compliance and staff competency across the Department of Social Services.

 

The incumbent also serves as the department lead for all fiscal audits, acting as the primary point of coordination, analysis, documentation, and response for auditors. This responsibility requires advanced fiscal expertise, independent judgment, and high-level accountability.

 

 

 

Finally, the incumbent has assumed responsibility for unit-level leadership, staff development, and operational direction across the fiscal team. The role now reflects sustained managerial oversight extending beyond transactional fiscal functions into strategic fiscal management and operational leadership.

 

On March 18, 2026, the Civil Service Commission approved at its public meeting the reclassification of one incumbent from Staff Services Administrator to Administrative Services Manager I. 

 

The impact below for this fiscal year is calculated at step 5 and includes the cost of benefits. The recurring cost shown below is calculated at step 5, including the cost of benefits.
