It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopts a Resolution to:

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Human Resources Department conducted a classification study of the two (2) Clinic Office Supervisor positions in the Health Department. The objective of the study was to determine if the positions are appropriately classified, and if not, to recommend a classification and salary that accurately reflects the duties currently assigned to the incumbents.
The classification study was conducted and found that the incumbents are performing duties related to providing direct supervision and support to a group of Patient Services Representatives; coordinating the daily operations of a clinic or clinic call center; and performing Patient Services Representative duties. The analysis indicates that the Clinic Office Supervisor classification no longer aligns with the duties and responsibilities that the incumbents are currently performing. Given the duties and responsibilities, it was determined that the most appropriate classification within the County classification system is Supervising Patient Services Representative.
Therefore, it is recommended that the two (2) Clinic Office Supervisor positions be reallocated, and the two (2) incumbents be reclassified to the classification of Supervising Patient Services Representative.
