01311 SECRETARY I

01312 SECRETARY II

01313 SECRETARY III

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.

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.

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-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: a. 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;

b. As instructed, maintain supervisor's calendar, make appointments, and arrange for meeting rooms;

c. Review materials prepared for supervisor's approval for typographical accuracy and proper format;

d. Maintain recurring internal reports, such as time and leave records, office equipment listings, correspondence controls, and training plans;

e. Requisition supplies, printing, maintenance or other services, type, take and transcribe dictation, create and maintain office files.

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:

a. 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;

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;

b. Review outgoing materials and correspondence for internal consistency and conformance with supervisor's procedures; assure that proper clearances have been obtained, when needed;

c. 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;

d. Explain to subordinate staff supervisor's requirements concerning office procedures, coordinate personnel and administrative forms for the office and forwards for processin 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:

a. Based on knowledge of the supervisor's views, compose correspondence on own initiative about administrative matters and general office policies for supervisor's approval;

b. Anticipate and prepare materials needed by the supervisor for conferences, correspondence, appointments, meetings, telephone calls, etc., and informs supervisor on matters to be considered;

c. Read publications, regulations, and directives and take action or refer those that are important to the supervisor and staff;

d. Prepare special or one-time reports, summaries, or replies to inquiries, selecting relevant information from a variety of sources such as reports, documents, correspondence, other offices, etc., under general directions;

e. Advise secretaries in subordinate offices on new procedures; request information needed from the subordinate office(s) for periodic or special conferences, reports, inquiries, etc., and shifts clerical staff to accommodate workload needs.

Excludes secretaries performing any of the following duties:

Acting as office manager for the executive's organization, e.g., determines when new procedures are needed for changing situations and devises and implements alternatives; revising or clarifying procedures to eliminate conflict or duplication; identifying and resolving various problems that affect the orderly flow of work in transactions with parties outside the organization. Preparing agenda for conferences; explain discussion topics to participants; drafts introductions and develops background information and prepares outlines for executive or staff member(s) to use in writing speeches.

The LR-3 advises individuals outside the organization on the executive's views on major policies or current issues facing the organization; contacts or responds to contact from high-ranking outside officials (e.g., city or state officials, members of congress, presidents of national unions or large national or international firms, etc.) in unique situations. These officials may be relatively inaccessible, and each contact typically must be handled differently, using judgment and discretion.
