DCSS - Financial Team Restructure

On April 7, 2026, your 005 board members met with DCSS management to discuss the financial team restructures that were initiated in 2023. We asked for all training materials, workflows, and training timelines. We were informed that training has officially concluded for those who transferred from Account Clerk to Office Specialist, so the 6-month hold harmless clause would begin for them as of April 13th. In these 6 months, no errors or omissions are to be used against them as they adapt to their new role.

We also made a point to management that our members should feel comfortable talking to their union and that there would be no retaliation or reprisal for doing so. They agreed and shared the same desire to foster a collaborative relationship, and they encourage their employees to work with their union. Additionally, we addressed concerns about employee-to-employee metrics and how they would be used in the office to assess performance, as well as management’s intent. We ensured they do not have any formal quotas, and are not comparing employees to each other, but rather use performance assessments to see if they need to support their employees better.

We appreciate our members for continuing to voice their concerns and observations to us, as it helps us help you. Please continue to reach out to us, as we’re here to support you.

Special thanks to governing board members Sylvia Garcia and Zack Kollross.

Together we are strong!
