The fundamental reason this
classification exists is to provide technical work coordinating employee
benefits programs for city employees. The employee in this class provides
extensive communication and direct technical assistance concerning the city’s
health and life insurance benefits programs to all employees and retirees. Work
responsibilities include managing the administration of health and life
insurance programs and auditing health insurance claims. Work requires
technical competency and independent action, initiative, and judgment in the
areas assigned. The employee works independently in answering questions and
resolving problems with reasonable latitude for decision-making. The Employee
Benefits Coordinator receives general supervision and policy direction from the
Employee Benefits Administrator or Director of Risk Management.
