Account Clerk Level I/II

Job Description

The Account Clerk is a single class with two salary levels. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed, and the level at which appointments are made are at the discretion of the appointing authority.

The Account Clerk (Level I) is the entry level in this class series. Under close supervision, incumbents at this level are given detailed instructions in the performance of routine financial clerical duties that involve the processing and maintenance of statistical or financial records. Incumbents perform tasks that are more structured and repetitive than those assigned at Level II. As requisite skills and knowledge are developed, incumbents are expected to perform increasingly responsible and difficult assignments. At the discretion of the appointing authority, incumbents may advance to the higher level after demonstrating the ability to perform the full journey level duties of the class, which generally requires six months of experience at Level I.

The Account Clerk (Level II) is the journey level in this class series. Under general supervision, incumbents perform a variety of increasingly responsible and difficult financial clerical duties that involve the processing and maintenance of statistical or financial records. This is the targeted competency and performance level of all Account Clerks and incumbents are technically proficient in performing their assigned duties.

Some positions in this class may be designated “confidential” in nature, in accordance with the County Employee Relations Ordinance, and are excluded from the representation unit which includes positions allocated to the regular class.
