Distinguishing Characteristics:
Human Resources Analyst I- This is the entry level in the class series. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Analyst 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. Since this class is often used as a training class, employees may have only limited related work experience. The complexity of assignments will increase with training and experience, correspondingly the level of direct supervision will decrease. After training, incumbents in this classification are expected to be able to perform assignments of average complexity with direction.
Human Resources Analyst II- This is the full journey level in the class series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Analyst 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. Positions in this class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the Analyst II level are normally filled by advancement from the Analyst I level requiring three years of experience and successful performance. When filled from the outside, the employee is required to have prior related experience which allows the employee to meet the qualification standards for the Analyst II level.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS TO APPLY
A combination of experience and training that provides the required knowledge, skills, and abilities may qualify. Depending on the qualifications of the applicant pool, education may be substituted for experience on a year-for-year basis. A typical way to obtain the knowledge, skills, and abilities would be:
