Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Child Support fund 1380-206
DISCUSSION:
The fiscal year (FY) 2020-21 budget for Child Support (budget unit 1380-206) was approved with personnel allocations which included the allocation of 1.0 FTE Executive Secretary, 2.0 FTE Accounting Technician and 3.0 FTE Child Support Assistant III (CSA) positions. During FY 2020-21 there were two (2) retirements which presented the opportunity to evaluate the office needs and create a restructuring of support. To offset the workload of the reduction of one 1.0 FTE Accounting Technician, Child Support began participating in shared services of case financials with another Child Support Agency in the state. To offset the workload of the reduction of 1.0 FTE CSA III, the duties typically associated with this position were redistributed amongst staff. Some of these duties include training, workload review and mentoring of a team of employees, which can be absorbed by a Child Support Specialist III (CSS) along with other advanced duties.
To build a more robust workforce, allow coverage to provide administrative support, comprehensive training, and ensure manageable caseload sizes, staff recommend 1.0 FTE Executive Secretary (Class 0167, Range 390), (1), 1.0 FTE Accounting Technician (Class 0355, Range 367) and 1.0 FTE Child Support Assistant III (Class 0367, Range 360) be reallocated as 1.0 FTE Staff Services Specialist (Class 0390, Range 384); 1.0 FTE Child Support Specialist I/II (Class 0141, Range 346/365) and 1.0 FTE Child Support Specialist III (Class 0147, Range 384) in budget unit 1380-206 effective immediately.
