To support the business, there is an accounting department staff of 13 including the department manager, three unit managers, and nine nonexempt employees. There are four non-management jobs in the department: accountants (two positions), senior accounting clerks (two positions), bookkeepers (three positions), and bookkeeper assistants (two positions). The two employees in the accountant positions were recruited out of college, and the remaining employees in the unit typically started as bookkeeper assistants, then worked up to bookkeepers and eventually to the senior accounting clerk job.Denton Fabricators has been under the same budgetary constraints as the other subsidiaries in National Products.
