Business Administrator Associate

Description

Manages the daily operation of an academic department primarily in the areas of human resources and financial management. Represents the department on business affairs to the institution community. Develops and prepares budgets and financial reports for grants, general appropriations, endowments, and other funds. Provides input into non-technical portions of grant and contract proposals. Coordinates and participates in a variety of human resources activities including employment, labor relations, benefits, training, and classification for unit/department. Supervises a small staff of non-exempt employees. Education and Experience: Bachelor degree in business, accounting or a related field and 1 to 2 years experience in administrative/supervisory capacity. The primary duty of employees in this classification is the management of a customarily recognized department or subdivision, including the supervision of three or more full-time equivalent employees every week. Direction is over a permanent status-continuing function, not a collection of employees assigned to complete a project. Management duties include interviewing, selecting and training of employees; setting and adjusting their rates of pay and hours of work; planning and directing their work; appraising their productivity and efficiency for the purpose of recommending promotions or other changes in their status; handling their complaints and grievances and disciplining them when necessary. Management responsibilities include the authority to hire, fire, or promote assigned employees or make recommendations that are given particular weight. Employees have impact on budgeting, controlling costs, planning, scheduling, and procedural change. Under FLSA, this is the exempt job classification for this title. Incumbents in this position must meet the full criteria for exempt status: salary level, salary basis, and duties tests.
