DESCRIPTION

Under the general supervision of the Director of Payroll, performs specialized clerical work in preparing departmental payrolls and maintaining records for a number of per diem employees. Work in this class involves greater difficulty and complexity than that found in the class of Payroll Audit Clerk II because of the transient and un-stabilized nature of the working force for which payrolls and re- cords must be prepared and maintained. Work is further complicated by the variety of projects to which employees’ wages must be charged. The employee is responsible for ensuring that payroll deadlines are met. This involves acquainting field supervisors and timekeepers with existing regulations and procedures as well as interpreting to them existing regulations and procedures governing pay, leave and related matters. The employee is expected to use acquired experience in performing the work with little, if any, immediate supervision.
