RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation

DISCUSSION:
During the classification phase of the Countywide Classification and Compensation Study conducted by Koff and Associated (K&A), recommended updates to the language of job descriptions and minimum qualifications were made. Upon further review it has been discovered that the County of Humboldt Human Resources job specification for Accounting Technician does not align with the job specification of Merit Systems California Department of Human Resources (CALHR). It is required that the job specifications align to advertise the positions through both County of Humboldt Human Resources and Merit Systems CALHR when seeking to fill a Merit position.
The Human Resources department has discussed the discrepancies with Merit Systems CALHR and an AFSCME union representative. It has been decided that the Merit Systems CALHR job specification is more inclusive and would allow for more applicants to achieve the minimum qualification threshold. Adopting the amended job specification would provide more candidates the opportunity to apply, as well as provide a more robust applicant list for departments. Therefore, Human Resources recommends amending the job specification of the Accounting Technician class, to align with the Merit System CALHR job specification. As this is an AFSCME-represented job class, an AFSCME representative has been consulted and agrees with this recommendation.
