CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Sheriff’s Clerk I: This is the entry-level class in the series.  Incumbents initially are given detailed supervision in learning the administrative, clerical, and customer service policies, procedures, and processes of the Sheriff’s Office.  As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult and close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.  Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.  Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern.  Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Sheriff’s Clerk II: This is the fully-qualified, working-level class in this series.  Incumbents have increased responsibility and latitude when performing the full range of assigned duties including maintaining information and data in specialized databases, preparing and assembling reports, processing payments, and preparing and processing notices, claims, and other documents.  Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative.  Positions 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 of the work unit.  This class is distinguished from the Senior Sheriff’s Clerk in that the latter is responsible for technical and functional direction of lower-level clerks and is capable of performing the more complex administrative support work such as researching, compiling, and organizing information for various state and regulatory reports, subpoena processing, and development and maintenance of the Sheriff’s Records Policy and Procedure manual. 

Positions in the Sheriff’s Clerk class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the higher-level are normally filled by advancement from the lower-level upon department need and after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
