STATEMENT OF DUTIES

General Statement Of Duties:

Distinguishing Factors:
In addition to managing programs and/or projects which must consume 50% of the employee’s time (managing programs or projects includes assigning tasks, monitoring progress and work flow checking, scheduling work, and establishing work standards), the Court Programs Analyst III position is distinguished from other classifications due to the supervisory responsibility for 3.0 or more full-time employees. If an employee does not meet the supervision requirement a Division may, in consultation with the Director of Human Resources and with the approval of the State Court Administrator, utilize this classification if the employee has responsibility for independently managing a highly specialized complex program or project. The complexity is reflected in a need for more sophisticated analytical methods and problem solving techniques. Work typically involves coordination with Director level positions within and external to the Judicial Department. The program or project schedule must exceed 12 months. A maximum of 30% of all Court Program Analysts may be classified as a Court Program Analyst III in a Division. This position will receive supervision from a Court Programs Analyst IV, Administrator or Division Director.
