Classification by Level

Secretary jobs that meet the required characteristics are matched at one of three levels according to two factors: (a) level of the secretary's supervisor within the overall organizational structure, and (b) level of the secretary's responsibility. The table following the explanations of these factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of factors.

Level of Secretary's Supervisor (LS)

Secretaries should be matched with one of the three LS levels below that best describes the organization of the secretary's supervisor.
LS-1 Organizational structure is not complex and internal procedures and administrative controls are simple and informal; supervisor directs staff through face-to-face meetings.

Level of Secretary's Responsibility (LR)

This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and the supervisor or staff, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at the level best describing their level of responsibility. When a position's duties span more than one LR level, the introductory paragraph at the beginning of each LR level should be used to determine which of the levels best matches the position. (Typically, secretaries performing at the higher levels of responsibility also perform duties described at the lower levels.)

• LR-1 Carries out recurring office procedures independently, and selects the guideline or reference that fits the specific case. The supervisor provides specific instructions on new assignments and checks completed work for accuracy. The LR-1 performs varied duties including or comparable to the following:

1. Respond to routine telephone requests that have standard answers; refer calls and visitors to appropriate staff. Control mail and assure timely staff response, and send form letters;
2. As instructed, maintain supervisor's calendar, make appointments, and arrange for meeting rooms:
3. Review materials prepared for supervisor's approval for typographical accuracy and proper format;
4. Maintain recurring internal reports, such as time and leave records, office equipment listings, correspondence controls, and training plans;
5. Requisition supplies, printing, maintenance or other services, type, take and transcribe dictation, create and maintain office files.

The table following the explanations of these factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of factors.

Level of Secretary's Supervisor (LS)

Secretaries should be matched with one of the three LS levels below that best describes the organization of the secretary's supervisor.

LS-2 Organizational structure is complex and is divided into subordinate groups that usually differ from each other as to subject matter, function, etc. Supervisor usually directs staff through intermediate supervisors. Internal procedures and administrative controls are formal. An entire organization (e.g., division, subsidiary, or parent organization) may contain a variety of subordinate groups that meet the LS-2 definition. Therefore, it is not unusual for one LS-2 supervisor to report to another LS-2 supervisor.

The presence of subordinate supervisors does not by itself, mean LS-2 applies. For example, a clerical processing organization divided into several units, each performing very similar work, is placed in LS-1.

In smaller organizations or industries such as retail trades, with relatively few organizational levels, the supervisor may have an impact on the policies and major programs of the entire organization, and may deal with important outside contacts as described in LS-3.

Level of Secretary's Responsibility (LR)

This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and the supervisor or staff, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at the level best describing their level of responsibility. When a position's duties span more than one LR level, the introductory paragraph at the beginning of each LR level should be used to determine which of the levels best matches the position. (Typically, secretaries performing at the higher levels of responsibility also perform duties described at the lower levels.)

LR-2 handles differing situations, problems, and deviations in the work of the office according to the supervisor's general instructions, priorities, duties, policies, and program goals. Supervisor may assist secretary with special assignments. Duties include or are comparable to the following:

1. Screen telephone calls, visitors, and incoming correspondence; personally respond to requests for information concerning office procedures; determine which requests should be handled by the supervisor, appropriate staff member or other offices, prepare and sign routine non-technical correspondence in own or supervisor's name;
2. Schedule tentative appointments without prior clearance. Make arrangements for conferences and meetings and assemble established background materials as directed. May attend meetings and record and report on the proceedings;
3. Review outgoing materials and correspondence for internal consistency and conformance with supervisor's procedures; assure that proper clearances have been obtained, when needed;
4. Collect information from the files or staff for routine inquiries on office program(s) or periodic reports, and refer non-routine requests to supervisor or staff;
5. Explain to subordinate staff supervisor's requirements concerning office procedures, coordinate personnel and administrative forms for the office and forwards for processing.

The table following the explanations of these factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of factors.

Level of Secretary's Supervisor (LS)

Secretaries should be matched with one of the three LS levels below that best describes the organization of the secretary's supervisor.

LS-3 Organizational structure is divided into two or more subordinate supervisory levels (of which at least one is a managerial level) with several subdivisions at each level. Executive's program(s) are usually interlocked on a direct and continuing basis with other major organizational segments, requiring constant attention to extensive formal coordination, clearances, and procedural controls. Executive typically has: financial decision-making authority for assigned program(s); considerable impact on the entire organization's financial position or image; and responsibility for, or has staff specialists in such areas as, personnel and administration for assigned organization. Executive plays an important role in determining the policies and major programs of the entire organization, and spends considerable time dealing with outside parties actively interested in assigned program(s) and current or controversial issues.

Level of Secretary's Responsibility (LR)

This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and the supervisor or staff, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at the level best describing their level of responsibility. When a position's duties span more than one LR level, the introductory paragraph at the beginning of each LR level should be used to determine which of the levels best matches the position. (Typically, secretaries performing at the higher levels of responsibility also perform duties described at the lower levels.)

LR-3 uses greater judgment and initiative to determine the approach or action to take in non-routine situations, interprets and adapts guidelines, including unwritten policies, precedents, and practices, which are not always completely applicable to changing situations. Duties include or are comparable to the following:

1. Based on knowledge of the supervisor's views, compose correspondence on own initiative about administrative matters and general office policies for supervisor's approval;
2. Anticipate and prepare materials needed by the supervisor for conferences, correspondence, appointments, meetings, telephone calls, etc., and informs supervisor on matters to be considered;

This position performs limited aspects of technical supply management work (e.g., inventory management, storage management, cataloging, and property utilization) related to depot, local, or other supply activities. Work usually is segregated by commodity area or function, and controlled in terms of difficulty, complexity, or responsibility. Assignments usually relate to stable or standardized segments of technical supply management operations; or to functions or subjects that are narrow in scope or limited in difficulty. The work generally involves individual case problems or supply actions. This work may require consideration of program requirements together with specific variations in or from standardized guidelines. Assignments require:

(a) a good working knowledge of the governing supply systems, programs, policies, nomenclature, work methods, manuals, or other established guidelines; (b) an understanding of the needs of the organization serviced; and (c) analytical ability to define or recognize the dimension of the problems involved, to collect the necessary data to establish the facts, and take or recommend action based upon application or interpretation of established guidelines

Under close supervision or following specific procedures and detailed instructions, The Travel Clerk I arranges travel on one or two modes of transportation. Travel is usually recurrent by the same modes, carriers, routes and same major points of origin and destination, seldom involving special transportation privileges or requiring special allowances or planning for supplemental transportation facilities. When such services are required, they do not occur in such variety or with such frequency as to create problems of timing or coordination.

Travel usually involves the use of two or more modes of transportation. Information on carriers, modes and facilities is readily available since most carriers servicing the area maintain local facilities or publish information regularly. Single carriers or connecting carriers have schedules that are easily coordinated using readily obtainable timetables or guides.

Travel is frequently recurrent. A substantial number of problems arise because of rerouting, and there are often side trips requiring changes of transportation. Travel is usually to areas accessible by direct line, or established connecting points and normal modes of transportation. Travel is not always planned well in advance so there may be major problems of scheduling or accommodations.

Travel involves special transportation privileges or special allowances and requires authorization or planning for supplemental or special transportation facilities, and when such services are required, they usually do not occur in such variety or with such frequency as to create major problems of timing or coordination.

Within general guidelines, employees select and apply appropriate travel guides, methods, techniques, and work sequences to effectively accomplish the work. The majority of assignments are performed without technical assistance, but unusually difficult travel situations or problem cases encountered during the course of the work are referred to the supervisor before decision or commitment. Review of work is for compliance with regulatory guides and program policies and for soundness of decisions and conclusions.

At this level, all major modes of transportation are used, as most individual trips involve combinations of more than one mode. Travel is varied, often not recurrent and periodically requires planning for relatively inaccessible intermediate or destination points. Routings are diverse and there is a necessity for frequent rerouting, re-planning, or rearranging, with many side trips requiring changes in modes of travel and creating substantial difficulty in routing and scheduling connections.

A substantial amount of travel involves special allowances or requires authorization and planning for supplementary or special transportation facilities. It is frequently difficult to obtain the required information.

The incumbent is characterized by independence of action, with very little instruction, guidance, and review, except for review of accomplishments of broad objectives and conformance to policy. The incumbent is viewed as the authority on travel matters, including the furnishing of advice and information to travelers, administrative officials and others; and has responsibility as the principal liaison with all elements, carriers, and facilities.

b. Transcribing scientific reports, lab analysis, legal proceedings, or similar material from voice tapes or handwritten drafts. Work requires knowledge of specialized, technical, or scientific terminology.

Work requires familiarity with office terminology and practices. Incumbent corrects copy, and questions originator of document concerning missing information, improper formatting, or discrepancies in instructions. Supervisor sets priorities and deadlines on continuing assignments, furnishes general instructions for recurring work and provides specific instructions for new or unique projects.

Requires both a comprehensive knowledge of word processing software applications and office practices and a high degree of skill in applying software functions to prepare complex and detailed documents. For example, processes complex and lengthy technical reports which include tables, graphs, charts, or multiple columns.
