This is a functional job class performing a wide-range of general and specialized clerical procedures designed to assist departments in completing specific department functions. Work procedures include but not limited to general office duties such as typing various forms, reports, documentation, ordering supplies, organizing office filing systems, assisting in functions such as payroll and budget, handling cash drawers, office inventory, answering phones and/or basic bookkeeping.  Work in this class is not always repetitive and may be cyclical in nature.  Employees may exercise some judgment and decision making within the defined functions they support.  Employees in this class perform work requiring general office procedures as well as specific knowledge and abilities required by the department in terms of how it functions and personnel they support.  Employees in this class may supervise or lead lower level clerical/assistant employees.  Most positions support supervisors or managers in more specific duties in larger or more broad-based duties in smaller divisions or departments.

High School diploma or GED and two (2) years of basic clerical experience which demonstrates knowledge of general office functions (answering phones, filing, typing, greeting customers). A technical certification in Office Administration or closely related area may substitute for one year of experience.

 

NOTE: Two (2) years’ experience as an Administrative Support Associate will qualify for this position.
