Under general supervision of the Court Chief Financial Officer or Court Accounting Manager, the Payroll Auditor audits and processes payroll and personnel documents taking into consideration governmental policies regarding salaries and fringe benefits. Audits P.E.C.T.s, funds, and accounts for accuracy in budgeted allocations and investigates variances. Prepares monthly reconciliation of payroll general ledger accounts and invoices. Issues payroll claims, journal entries, reports, and quarterly tax statements. Performs related duties as required.
Distinguishing Characteristics:
This is a journey-level class that requires previous payroll-processing experience. Incumbents independently perform the full range of payroll processing duties. It is distinguished from the Accounting Technician--Confidential class in that the consequence of error is greater. Errors in judgment or failure to complete assignments may result in serious delays and/or considerable expenditure of resources. Assignments are technically more complex and responsible, and the work requires greater knowledge of payroll practices and principles.
