 CLASS CHARACTERISTICS 

Account Clerk I: This is the entry-level classification in the Account Clerk series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine accounting support duties related to the preparation, processing, and maintenance of statistical, financial, billing, and related records. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult and close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.  

Account Clerk II: This is the journey-level classification in the Account Clerk series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Incumbents may assume specialized responsibility. Duties may vary based upon the department to which assigned; however, all positions require the ability to understand and apply fundamental fiscal, financial, statistical, and accounting concepts and terminology. This class is distinguished from the Senior Account Clerk in that the latter performs the more complex work assigned to the series and serves in a lead capacity over assigned fiscal support staff. Positions in the Account Clerk class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II-level may be filled by advancement from the I-level; progression to the II-level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II-level.
