receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance. Performs varied
clerical and secretarial duties requiring knowledge of office routine and an
understanding of the organization, programs, and procedures related to the work
of the office.
Classification by Level
Secretary jobs that meet the required characteristics
are matched at one of five 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
o
Organizational structure is not complex and
internal procedures and administrative controls are simple and informal;
supervisor directs staff through face-to-face meetings.
·
LS-2
o
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; and 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.
o
The presence of subordinate supervisors does not
by itself mean LS-2 applies, e.g., a clerical processing organization divided
into several units, each performing very similar work, is placed in LS-1.
o
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.
·
LS-3
o
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-1 Carries out recurring office procedures
independently. Selects the guideline or reference that fits the specific case.

·
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

the following:
1. Screens

or periodic reports. Refers non-routine requests to supervisor or staff;
5. Explains
to subordinate staff supervisor's requirements concerning office procedures.

processing.
·
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

Performs limited aspects of technical supply
management work (e.g., inventory management, storage management, cataloging,
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 to take or recommend
action based upon application or interpretation of established guidelines.
Illustrative Assignments:
1. Inventory management: Responsible for inventory
management of decentralized and decontrolled items, including supplies, and
equipment. Items managed typically are of low unit or annual demand value,
involve short procurement lead time (less than 9 months), are obtained from
standard or other readily available sources of supply, and reflect relatively
stable patterns of demand. Items usually are of a general, common-use type,
nonreparable and seldom require intensive investigation of atypical variations
in their supply and demand patterns. Positions are located in local, regional,
or headquarters offices for which the military supply management organization
has overall inventory management responsibility. The work includes requirements
determination and forecasting, distribution or redistribution of material,
procurement authorization, limited funds management, or other related work.
2. Material coordination: Performs material
coordination duties for special programs, maintenance, or production shops.
Duties are performed on the basis of practical experience in processing and
expediting supply transactions related to the particular organizations
serviced.
3. Cataloging: Writes item descriptions for a range of
new items entering the supply channels of a particular agency or field
establishment. Applies requirements selecting the appropriate description
pattern and answering the requirements contained in the pattern. Reviews
existing stock catalogs, manufacturers' catalogs, drawings, or other resource
materials, for the purpose of matching characteristics or part numbers to
identify duplicate items already catalogued or otherwise recorded in the supply
system.
Level of Responsibility:
Works within a framework of established supply
regulations, policies, and procedures, or other governing supply management
guidelines.
Deals with a variety of operating officials regarding
limited aspects of program needs of the organization serviced. Contacts may
relate to inventory requirements in a stable or standardized organization and
to the adequate description or identification of less complex items that are
new to the system. May contact representatives of commercial firms to obtain
information regarding new items of supply, item characteristics, or procurement
lead-time; or representatives of government agencies (Federal, State or local)
regarding the utilization of property.
Interviews people to obtain information on topics such
as public issues or consumer buying habits. Contacts people at home or place of
business or by telephone following specified sampling procedures, or approach
them at random on street. Asks questions relative to items on form or
questionnaire, records answers, and assists persons in filling out forms. May
review, sort, classify and file forms according to specified procedures and
criteria. May participate in Federal, state or local census surveys.

are controlled items and will be handled, stocked safeguarded and administered
in strict compliance with applicable regulations.
Under close supervision or following specific
procedures and detailed instructions arranges travel on one and sometimes two
modes of transportation. Travel is almost always 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 through the use of readily obtainable
timetables or guides.
Travel is frequently recurrent. A substantial number
of problems arise as a result 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, and 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, replanning, 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 responsible
as the principal point of liaison with other elements and with carriers and
other facilities.
Produces a variety of standard documents, such as
correspondence, form letters, reports, tables and other printed materials. Work
requires skill in typing; a knowledge of grammar, punctuation and spelling; and
ability to use reference guides and equipment manuals. Performs familiar,
routine assignments following standard procedures. Seeks further instructions
for assignments requiring deviations from established procedures.
Uses a knowledge of varied and advanced functions of
one software type, a knowledge of varied functions of different types of
software, or a knowledge of specialized or technical terminology to perform
such typical duties as:
Editing and reformatting written or electronic drafts.
Examples include: Correcting function codes; adjusting spacing and formatting;
and standardizing headings, margins, and indentations.
Transcribing scientific reports, lab analyses, 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. May lead lower level word
processors.
Requires both a comprehensive knowledge of word
processing software applications and office practices and a high degree of

At this level Exhibits Specialists bring to the job
manual dexterity, mechanical skill, and/or artistic skill, plus aptitude for
learning exhibits techniques. Performs duties related to the fabrication,
finishing and repair of exhibits, while acquiring training in museum or
exhibits techniques.
At this level Exhibits Specialists perform
independently the phases of work in which they are proficient, and receive
training in the more complex processes. Duties relate to the fabrication,
finishing and maintenance of exhibits which require a high degree of manual
dexterity and moderate but varied artistic skills. Generally they work from
accurate scale drawings, blueprints or sketches with instructions as to the
materials to be used and the colors to be matched. On the phases of the work
with which they are thoroughly familiar, and within the framework of accepted
and proven methods and techniques, there is considerable latitude of choice in
execution. On work which involves several processes or stages of development,
the supervisor checks their work at the completion of each phase.
At this level Exhibits Specialists are responsible for
the construction of portions of more complex exhibits, such as models,
three-dimensional training aids, or complex exhibit cases and other exhibit
furniture.
Complexity of work may be indicated by: (a) subject
matter which requires extensive study and search of the literature; (b) the
need to demonstrate the significance of an event or development; (c) the need
to present the development or evaluation of an event; and (d) subject matter
involving several disciplines. Another area of work at this level includes the
planning of detailed work processes and actual restoration work on historic
structures or valuable items, or the construction of replicas or models
requiring greater skill than is required for the work at the Exhibits
Specialist II level. At level III, Exhibits Specialists are comparatively free
to use judgment in selecting work methods and materials, and developing
techniques and color schemes.
Duties require the ability to use common media such as
tempera, oils, pen-and-ink, or pencil with average skill. Copies drawings,
either by tracing or freehand. Applies coloring or wash to line drawings;
letters by hand or by use of templates; and does detail or background work on
illustrations which have been prepared by an illustrator of higher grade.
When working with scientific subjects and technical
equipment, acquires basic knowledge of subject matter field and develops
information about the field of work that will be illustrated. When working in
the general fields of illustrating, acquires necessary information about
subject of the illustrations or applies general knowledge to the subject.
This worker usually is assigned to projects involving
several of the common art media such as pen-and-ink, pencil, tempera, wash,
oils, and airbrush over a period of time. These projects require the
illustrator to be proficient in the use of these media and in executing
acceptable drawings in many styles. Generally speaking, Illustrator II executes
drawings that have been conceived by others and presented in the form of rough
sketches.
Does not exercise an extensive knowledge of the
subject matter involved when preparing medical, scientific or technical
equipment illustrations. Acquires information about the subject assigned to
illustrate and develop a background of subject matter knowledge through
carrying out these illustrating assignments. However, the kind of illustrating
work assigned does not require an extensive prior knowledge about the subjects
illustrated.
The projects to which this worker is assigned usually
involve several of the common art media (as in the case of Illustrator II), but
the illustrations themselves typically require a higher degree of skill in the
use of many of the media. This degree of skill is required because (a) the
speed with which the illustration must be completed requires the ability to
work quickly and competently in order to produce an acceptable finished product
within the available time limit; (b) the illustration calls for the use of fine
detail, special artistic effects, or an unusual use of the chosen medium; or
(c) the method of reproduction, the use to which the illustration is to be put,
or the information or artistic results desired calls for exceptional care and
skill in the use of the medium.
The themes illustrated may be either concrete in
nature or they may represent ideas and abstract concepts. The illustrations
differ from those typical of Illustrator II in that they are expected to
interpret the publications, chart, poster, or exhibit in which they appear,
while Illustrator II presents factual rather than interpretative material.
Illustrator III is required to have a knowledge of a
specialized subject matter field such as medicine, science, or technical
equipment. Prepares illustrations that are designed to reproduce the appearance
of specific medical or scientific specimens or of pieces of technical
equipment.

to Librarian. Verifies bibliographic information on order requests. Works or
directs workers in maintenance of stacks or in section of department or division,
such as ordering or receiving section of acquisitions department, card
preparation activities in catalog department, or limited loan or reserve desk
operation of circulation department.
Takes routine pictures in situations where several
shots can be taken. Uses standard still cameras for pictures lacking
complications, such as speed, motion, color contrast, or lighting. Photographs
are taken for identification, employee publications, information, or publicity
purposes. Workers must be able to focus, center, and provide simple flash-type
lighting for an uncomplicated photograph.
Typical subjects are employees who are photographed
for identification, award ceremonies, interviews, banquets or meetings; or
external views of machinery, supplies, equipment, building, damaged shipments,
or other subjects photographed to record conditions. Assignments usually are
performed without direct guidance due to the clear and simple nature of the
desired photograph.
Uses standard still cameras, commonly available
lighting equipment and related techniques to take photographs that involve
limited problems of speed, motion, color contrast, or lighting. Typically, the
subjects photographed are similar to those at Level I, but the technical
aspects require more skill. Based on clear-cut objectives, determines shutter
speeds, lens settings and filters, camera angles, exposure times, and type of
film. Requires familiarity with the situation gained from similar past
experience to arrange for specific emphasis, balanced lighting, and correction
for distortion, etc., as needed. May use 16mm or 35mm motion picture cameras
for simple shots such as moving equipment or individuals at work or meetings,
where available or simple artificial lighting is used.
Ordinarily, there is opportunity for repeated shots or
for retakes if the original exposure is unsatisfactory. Consults with
supervisor or more experienced photographers when problems are anticipated.
Selects from a range of standard photographic
equipment for assignments demanding exact renditions, normally without
opportunity for later retakes, when there are specific problems or
uncertainties concerning lighting, exposure time, color, artistry, etc.
Discusses technical requirements with operating officials or supervisor and
customizes treatment for each situation according to a detailed request. Varies
camera processes and techniques and uses the setting and background to produce
esthetics, as well as accurate and informative, pictures. Typically, standard
equipment is used at this level although "specialized" photography
usually is performed; may use some special-purpose equipment under closer
supervision.
In typical assignments, photographs: (1) drawings,
charts, maps, textiles, etc., requiring accurate computation of reduction
ratios and exposure times and precise equipment adjustments; (2) tissue
specimens in fine detail and exact color when color and condition of the tissue
may deteriorate rapidly; (3) medical or surgical procedures or conditions which
normally cannot be recaptured; (4) machine or motor parts to show wear or
corrosion in minute wires or gears; (5) specialized real estate, goods and
products for catalogs or listings when salability is enhanced by the
photography; (6) work, construction sites, or patrons in prescribed detail to
substantiate legal claims, contracts, etc.; (7) artistic or technical design
layouts requiring precise equipment settings; and (8) fixed objects on the
ground or air-to-air objects which must be captured quickly and require
directing the pilot to get the correct angle of approach.
Works independently; solves most problems through
consultations with more experienced photographers, if available, or through
reference sources.
Uses special-purpose cameras and related equipment for
assignments in which the photographer usually makes all the technical
decisions, although the objective of the pictures is determined by operating
officials. Conceives and plans the technical photographic effects desired by
operating officials and discusses modifications and improvements to their
original ideas in light of the potential and limits of the equipment.
Improvises photographic methods and techniques or selects and alters secondary
photographic features (e.g., scenes, backgrounds, colors, lighting). Many
assignments afford only one opportunity to photograph the subject. Typical
examples of equipment used at this level include ultra-high speed, motion
picture production, studio television, animation cameras, specialized still and
graphic cameras, electronic timing and triggering devices, etc.
Some assignments are characterized by extremes in
light values and the use of complicated equipment. Sets up precise photographic
measurement and control equipment; uses high speed color photography,
synchronized stroboscopic (interval) light sources, and/or timed electronic
triggering; operates equipment from a remote point; or arranges and uses
cameras operating at several thousand frames per second. In other assignments,
selects and sets up motion picture or television cameras and accessories and
shoots a part of a production or a sequence of scenes, or takes special scenes
to be used for background or special effects in the production.
Works under guidelines and requirements of the
subject-matter area to be photographed. Consults with supervisors only when
dealing with highly unusual problems or altering existing equipment.
As a top technical expert, exercises imagination and
creative ability in response to photography situations requiring novel and
unprecedented treatment. Typically performs one or more of the following
assignments: (1) develops and adapts photographic equipment or processes to
meet new and unprecedented situations, e.g., works with engineers and
physicists to develop and modify equipment for use in extreme conditions such
as excessive heat or cold, radiation, high altitude, under water, wind and
pressure tunnels, or explosions; (2) plans and organizes the overall technical
photographic coverage for a variety of events and developments in phases of a
scientific, industrial, medical, or research project; or (3) creates desired
illusions or emotional effects by developing trick or special effects photography
for novel situations requiring a high degree of ingenuity and imaginative
camera work to heighten, simulate, or alter reality.
Independently develops, plans, and organizes the
overall technical photographic aspects of assignments in collaboration with
operating officials who are responsible for project substance. Uses imagination
and creative ability to implement objectives within the capabilities and
limitations of cameras and equipment. May exercise limited control over the
substance of events to be photographed by staging actions, suggesting behavior
of the principals, and rehearsing activities before photographs are taken.
