County OKs auditor's office reorganization to support Workday and bi-monthly payroll
Summary
The board approved a reorganization of the County Auditor's Office that creates three section managers (elections, licensing/recording and finance), reclassifies several roles, converts part-time positions to full time, and adds payroll/accounts-payable support amid Workday implementation.
The board unanimously approved a County Auditor's Office reorganization intended to strengthen financial controls and staffing as the county prepares to implement Workday and move to bi-monthly payroll.
Human Resources and the auditor (Cheryl Parks) proposed reclassifying the election supervisor to election manager, converting a part-time licensing clerk to full time, creating a general-ledger staff accountant to handle the annual report and audit work, and adding two permanent positions to support payroll and accounts payable. HR said some election and licensing costs are reimbursed by the state or by election users.
Commissioners asked about salary-grade changes and budget effects; HR said position reclassifications will be submitted to HR classification and compensation for formal review. Chair Kimball and other commissioners said moving specialized financial tasks in-house (the county currently contracts out the annual report for six-figure costs) could save money over time and reduce single-person dependency on that expertise.
The board approved the reorganization 3-0; individual job descriptions and hiring actions will come back to the board as required.
What happens next: HR will submit reclassification requests to the HR classification committee, the auditor will work to onboard and recruit to the new roles, and the county will monitor payroll workload through Workday implementation.
