Account Clerk I - This is the entry level class in the Account
Clerk series. This class is distinguished from the journey by the
performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to
positions within this series. Employees at this level are not
expected to perform with the same independence of direction and
judgment on matters allocated to the journey level. Since this
class is typically used as a training class, employees may have
only limited or no directly related work experience. Employees work
under immediate supervision while learning job tasks.
Account Clerk II - This is the full journey level class within the
Account Clerk series. This class is distinguished from the Account
Clerk I by the assignment of the full range of duties. Employees 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 within the work unit. Positions in the
Account Clerk II are normally assigned such tasks as posting,
adding, computing and recomputing, comparing financial data or
statistical information related to accounting operations.
Incumbents are expected to solve routing problems without
assistance. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are
normally filled by advancement from the entry level.
This class is distinguished from the Senior Account Clerk in that
the latter is responsible for more complex duties such as oversight
of assigned functions such as accounts payable, business license
and purchasing.
