Preface This bulletin provides results of an August 1974 survey of occupational earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Daytona Beach, Florida, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (Volusia County). The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program. The program is designed to yield data for individual metropolitan areas, as well as national and regional estim ates for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor m arkets, through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program develops information that m ay be used for many purposes, including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and assistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965. Currently, 79 areas are included in the program . (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data are collected annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits is obtained every third year. Results of the next two annual surveys, providing earnings data only, will be issued as free supplements to this bulletin. The supplements m ay be obtained from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.) Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and regional estim ates, projected from indi vidual metropolitan area data. The Daytona Beach survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Atlanta, G a., under the general direction of Donald M. C ruse, A ssociate Assistant Regional Director for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many firm s whose wage and salary data provided the basis for the statistical information in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express sincere appreciation for the cooperation received. AREA WAGE SURVEY Bulletin 1850-1 December 1974 pg~T U.S. D E P A R T M E N T O F LA B O R , Peter J.

In this area, data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to representative estab lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transpor tation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer t h e m a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria. A -series tables Tables A - 1 through A - 6 provide estimates of straight-time hourly or weekly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupations were selected from the following categories: (a) Office clerical, (b) pro fessional and technical, (c) maintenance and powerplant, and (d) custodial and material movement. In the 31 largest survey areas, tables A -la through A -6a provide similar data for establishments employing 500 workers or more. Following the occupational wage tables is table A - 7 which provides percent changes in average earnings of office clerical work ers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance workers, and unskilled plant workers. This measure of wage trends eliminates changes in average earnings caused by employ ment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. Where possible, data are presented for all industries, manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses this wage trend measure. B -se rie s tables The B -series tables present information on minimum entrance salaries for office workers; late-shift pay provisions and practices for plant workers in manufacturing; and data separately for plant and office workers on scheduled weekly hours and days of first-sh ift workers; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans. Appendixes This bulletin has two appendixes. Appendix A describes the methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program. It provides information on the scope of the area survey and information on the area's industrial composition in manufacturing. It also provides information on labor-management agreement coverage. Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify workers in occupations for which straight-time earnings information is presented. A. Earnings Table A-1.

Appendix A Area wage and related benefits data are obtained by personal visits of Bureau field represent atives at 3-year intervals.1 In each of the intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings is collected by a combination of personal visit and mail questionnaire from establishments participating in the previous survey. In each of the 79 2 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained from representative estab lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; tram sport ation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and numberof employees. From this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than small establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection, so that unbiased estimates are generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of four to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classification if data are not available for the original sample member. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample member that is sim ilar to the missing unit. Occupations and Earnings Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material movement. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B. Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described, or for some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in the A -series tables, because either (1) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate men's and women's earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in all industries combined data, where shown. Likewise, data are included in the overall classification when a sub classification of electronics technicians, secretaries, or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify is not available. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e workers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar. These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firm s may change, or high-wage 1 P e s o i a l visits w ere on a. 2 -y ea r c y c le before July 1972. 2 Included in tite 79 areas are 9 studies conducted by d ie Bureau under contract. These areas are Austin, T e x .; Binghamton, N .Y . —P a .; Fort Lauderdale—H ollyw ood and West Palm Beach—Boca Raton, F l a .; Lexington—Fayette, K y .; M elbourne—Titusville—C o co a , F l a .; Norfolk—Virginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va. —N. C . ; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N. Y . ; R aleigh—Durham, N. C . ; and Syracuse, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts m ore lim ite d area studies in approxim ately 70 areas at the request o f the Em ploym ent Standards Administration o f the U. S. Department o f Labor. workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occupational average even though most establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A -7 , are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups. Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estim ates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each. job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments. Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to differences include progression within established rate ranges, since only the rates paid incumbents are collected, and performance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are more'generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties performed. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establish ments differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not affect materially the accuracy of the earnings data. Wage trends for selected occupational groups The Annual rates span between increased at percents of change in table A -7 relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. of increase, where shown, reflect the amount of increase for 12 months when the time surveys was other than 12 months. Annual rates are based on the assumption that wages a constant rate between surveys. Occupations used to compute wage trends are: Office clerical (men and women): Bookkeeping-machine operators, class B Clerks, accounting, classes A and B Clerks, file, classes A, B, and C Clerks, order Clerks, payroll Keypunch operators, classes A and B Messengers Secretaries Stenographers, general Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators Tabulating-machine operators, class B Typists, classes A and B Electronic data processing (men and women): Computer operators, classes A, B , az Computer programmers, classes A , ! and C Electronic data processing (men and women)— Continued Computer systems analysts, classes A, B , and C Industrial nurses (men and women): N urses, industrial (registered) Skilled maintenance (men): Carpenters Electricians Machinists Mechanics Mechanics (automotive) Painters Pipefitters Tool and die makers Unskilled plant (men): Janitors, porters, and cleaners Laborers, material handling Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed as follows: 1. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in the selected group of occupations in the base year. 2. These weights are used to compute group averages. Each occupation's average (mean) earnings is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average. 3. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average for the current year by the average for the earlier year. The results— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change. Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions The B -se rie s tables provide information on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions for full-tim e plant and office workers. ’’Plant workers” include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded from manufacturing, but included in nonmanufacturing industries. "O ffice w orkers” include working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers performing clerical or related functions. Administrative, executive, professional, and part-time employees are excluded. Part-tim e employees are those hired to work a schedule calling regularly for fewer weekly hours than the establishment's schedule for full-tim e employees in the same general type of work. The determination is based on the em ployer's distinction between the two groups which may take into account not only deferences in work schedules but differences in pay and benefits. Minimum entrance salaries for office workers relate only to the establishments visited. (See table B - l .) Because of the optimum sampling techniques used and the probability that large establishments are more likely than small establishments to have formal entrance rates above the subclerical level, the table is more representative of policies in medium and large establishments. Shift differential data are limited to full-tim e plant workers in manufacturing industries. (See table B - 2.) This information is presented in term s of (1) establishment policy 3 for total plant worker employment, and (2) effective practice for workers employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority is used. In establishments having some late-shift hours paid at normal rates, a differential is recorded only if it applies to a majority of the shift hours. A second (evening) shift ends work at or near midnight. A third (night) shift starts work at or near midnight. The scheduled weekly hours and days of a majority of the first-shift workers in an establish ment are tabulated as applying to all full-tim e plant or office workers of that establishment. (See table B -3 .) Scheduled weekly hours and days are those which a majority of full-tim e employees are expected to work for straight-time or overtime rates. Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated statistically as applying to all full-tim e plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. (See tables B -4 through B -6 .) Sums of individual items in tables B -2 through B -5 may not equal totals because of rounding. The summary of vacation plans is a statistical measure of vacation provisions rather than a measure of the proportion of full-tim e workers actually receiving specific benefits. (See table B -5 .) Provisions apply to all plant or office workers in an establishment regardless of length of service. Payments on other than a time basis are converted to a time period; for example, 2 percent of annual earnings are considered equivalent to 1 week's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estimates exclude vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended” or "sabbatical” benefits beyond basic plans. Such provisions are typical in the steel, aluminum, and can industries. Health, insurance, and pension plans for which the employer pays at least a part of the cost include those (1) underwritten by a commercial insurance, company or nonprofit organization, (2) provided through a union fund, or (3) paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. (See table B -6 .) An establishment is considered to have such a plan if the majority of employees are covered even though less than a majority participate under the plan because employees are required to contribute toward the cost. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and railroad retirement. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured during temporary illness or accident disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted temporary disability insurance laws requiring employer contributions,4 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes more than is legally, required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to formal plains5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work because of illness. Separate tabulations are presented according' to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which provide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of proportions of workers provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits. Long term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sickness and accident insurance, or after a predetermined period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end of the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or partial payments are almost always reduced by social security, workmen's compensation, and private pensions benefits payable to the disabled employee. Data on paid holidays are limited to holidays granted annually on a formal basis, which (1) are provided for in written form , or (2) are established by custom. (See table B -4 .) Holidays ordinarily granted are included even though they may fall on a nonworkday and the worker is not granted another day off. The first part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e. Table B -4 a reports the incidence of the most common paid holidays. Major medical insurance plans protect employees from sickness and injury expenses beyond the coverage of basic hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Typical features of major medical plans are (1) a "deductible” (e.g., $50) paid by the insured before benefits begin; (2) a coinsurance feature requiring the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20 percent) of certain expenses; and (3) stated dollar maximum benefits (e.g., $ 10,000 a year). Medical insurance provides complete or partial payment of doctors' fees. Dental insurance usually covers fillings, extractions, and X -ra y s. Excluded are plans which cover only oral surgery or accident damage. Retirement pension plans provide payments for the remainder of the worker's life. 3 A n establishm ent was considered as having a p o lic y if it m et either o f the follow ing conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the tim e o f the survey, or (2 ) had form al provisions covering late shifts. A n establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1 ) had operated late shifts during the 12 months before the survey, or (2) had provisions in written form to operate late shifts. 4 The temporary disability laws in C alifornia and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions. ® A n establishment is considered as having a form al plan if it established at least the minim um number o f days sick leave available to each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written; but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, are excluded.

Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through February 1974, consists of Volusia County. The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used to classify establishments by industry division. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 4 Includes executive, professional, part-time, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories. 5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A - and B-series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. 6 Less than 0.5 percent. 7 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A-series tables, and for "all industries" in the B-series tables. Separate presentation of data is not made for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Employment is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. 8 Workers from this entire division are represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A-series tables, but from the real estate portion only in estimates for "all industries" in the B-series tables. Separate presentation of data is not made for one or more ofthe reasons given in footnote 7. 9 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services. Industrial composition in manufacturing Over one-fourth of all workers within scope of the survey in the Daytona Beach area were employed in manufacturing firms. The following presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing: Industry groups Electrical equipment and supplies____________________ ... Instruments and related products___________________ ... Food and kindred products — ... Apparel and other textile products----------------------------- ... Printing and publishing______ ... Fabricated metal products — ... Furniture and fixtures-----------...

Proportions in various industry divisions may differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in the appendix table. Labor-management agreement coverage The following tabulation shows the percent of full-time plans and office workers employed in establishments in which a contract or contracts covered a majority of the workers in the respective categories, Daytona Beach, Fla. , August 1974: All industries_________________ Manufacturing_________________ Public utilities________________ Plant workers Office workers 23 25 95 55 14 An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are covered by a labor-management agreement. Therefore, all other plant or office workers are employed in establishments that either do not have labor-management contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than half of their plant or office workers. Estimates are not necessarily representative of the extent to which all workers in the area may be covered by the provisions of labor-management agreements, because small establishments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited. Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers. OFFICE BILLER, MACHINE CLERKS, ACCOUNTING Prepares statements, b ills , and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or electromatic typewriter. May also keep records as to billings or shipping charges or perform other clerical work incidental to billing operations. For wage study purposes, billers, machine, are classified by type of machine, as follows: Performs one or more accounting clerical tasks such as posting to registers and ledgers; reconciling bank accounts; verifying the internal consistency, completeness, and mathematical accuracy of accounting documents; assigning prescribed accounting distribution codes; examining and verifying for clerical accuracy various types of reports, lists, calculations, posting, etc.; or preparing simple or assisting in preparing more complicated journal vouchers. May work in either a manual or automated accounting system. B iller, machine (billing machine). Uses a special billing machine (combination typing and adding machine) to prepare bills and invoices from customers' purchase orders, internally prepared orders, shipping memorandums, etc. Usually involves application of predetermined discounts and shipping charges and entry of necessary extensions, which may or may not be computed on the billing machine, and totals which are automatically accumulated by machine. The operation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine. B iller, machine (bookkeeping machine). Uses a bookkeeping machine (with or without a typewriter keyboard) to prepare custom ers' bills as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally involves the simultaneous entry of figures on customers' ledger record. The machine automatically accumulates figures on a number of vertical columns and computes and usually prints automatically the debit or credit balances. Does not involve a knowledge of bookkeeping. Works from uniform and standard types of sales and credit slips. The work requires a knowledge of clerical methods and office practices and procedures which relates to the clerical processing and recording of transactions and accounting information. With experience, the worker typically becomes familiar with the bookkeeping and accounting terms and procedures used in the assigned work, but is not required to have a knowledge of the formal principles of bookkeeping and accounting. Positions are classified into levels on the basis of the following definitions. Glass A. Under general supervision, performs accounting clerical operations which require the application of experience and judgment, for example, clerically processing complicated or nonrepetitive accounting transactions, selecting among a substantial variety of prescribed accounting codes and classifications, or tracing transactions though previous accounting actions to determine source of discrepancies.

Determines proper records and distribution of debit and credit items to be used in each phase of the work. May prepare consolidated reports, balance sheets, and other records by hand. Class B . Keeps a record of one or more phases or sections of a set of records usually requiring little knowledge of basic bookkeeping. Phases or sections include accounts payable, payroll, custom ers' accounts (not including a simple type of billing described under biller, machine), cost distribution, expense distribution, inventory control, etc. May check or assist in preparation of trial balances and prepare control sheets for the accounting department. Revised occupational descriptions for switchboard operator; switchboard operator-re ceptionist; machine-tool operator, toolroom; amd tool and die madcer are being introduced this year. They are the result of the Bureau's policy of periodically reviewing area wage survey occupational, descriptions in order to ta&e into account technological developments amd to clarify descriptions so that they are more readily understood amd uniformly interpreted. Even though the revised descriptions reflect basically the same occupations as previously defined, some reporting chamges may occur because of the revisions. The new single level description for switchboard operator is the equivalent of the two levels previously defined. Class B . Under close supervision, following detailed instructions and standardized procedures, performs one or more routine accounting clerical operations, such as posting to ledgers, cards, or worksheets where identification of items and locations of postings axe clearly indicated; checking accuracy and completeness of standardized and repetitive records or accounting documents; and coding documents using a few prescribed accounting codes. CLERK, FILE F iles, classifies, and retrieves material in aui established filing system. May- perform clerical, and mamuad tasks required to maintain files.

Assistant type positions which involve more difficult or m ore responsible technical, administrative, supervisory, or specialized clerical duties which are not typical of secretarial work. NOTE: The term "corporate o ffic e r ," used in the level definitions following, refers to those officials who have a significant corporate-wide policymaking role with regard to major company activities. The title "vice president," though normally indicative of this role, dops not in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose primary responsibility is to act personally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or deny individual loan or credit actions; administer individual trust accounts; directly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate officers" for purposes of applying the following level definitions. Class A 1. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5, 000 persons; or 2.

M ay. test and assist in correcting program. Class B . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: Most of the programs are established production runs, typically run on a regularly recurring basis; there is little or no testing of new programs required; alternate programs are provided in case original program needs major change or cannot be corrected within a reasonably time. In common error situations, diagnoses cause and takes corrective action. This usually involves applying previously programmed corrective steps, or using standard correction techniques. OR For wage study purposes, computer operators are classified as follows: C lass A . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: New programs are frequently tested and introduced; scheduling requirements are of critical importance to minimize downtime; the programs are of complex design so that identification of error source often requires a working knowledge of the total program , and alternate programs may not be available. May give direction and guidance to lower level operators. Operates under direct supervision a computer running programs or segments of programs with the characteristics described for class A. May assist a higher level operator by independently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing difficult tasks following detailed instructions and with frequent review of operations performed. Class C. Works on routine programs under close supervision. Is expected to develop working knowledge of the computer equipment used and ability to detect problems involved in running routine programs. Usually has received some formal training in computer operation. May assist higher level operator on complex programs. Converts statements of business problems, typically prepared by a systems analyst, into a sequence of detailed instructions which are required to solve the problems by automatic data processing equipment. Working from charts or diagrams, the programmer develops the precise instructions which, when entered into the computer system in coded language, cause the manipulation of data to achieve desired results. Work involves most of the following; Applies knowledge of computer capabilities, mathematics, logic employed by computers, and particular subject matter involved to analyze charts and diagrams of the problem to be programmed; develops sequence of program steps; writes detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be processed; converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; tests and corrects programs; prepares instructions for operating personnel during production run; analyzes, reviews, and alters programs to increase operating efficiency or adapt to new requirements; maintains records of program development and revisions. (NOTE: Workers performing both systems analysis and programming should be classified as systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.) Does not include employees primarily responsible for the management or supervision of other electronic data processing employees, or programmers primarily concerned with scientific and/or engineering problems. For wage study purposes, programmers are classified as follows: Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems which require competence in all phases of programming concepts and practices. Working from diagrams and charts which identify the nature of desired results, major processing steps to be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the problem solving routine; plans the full range of programming actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system in . achieving desired end products. At this level, programming is difficult because computer equipment must be organized to produce several interrelated but diverse products from numerous and diverse data elements. A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing actions must occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations which can be reused, establishment of linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program requirements exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program. May provide functional direction to lower level programmers who are Class_A. Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems involving all phases of system analysis. Problems are complex because of diverse sources of input data and multiple-use requirements of output datat. (For example, develops an integrated production scheduling, inventory control, cost analysis, and sales analysis record in which every item of each type is automatically processed through the full system of records and appropriate followup actions are initiated by the computer.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subject-matter personnel on the implications of new or revised system s of data processing operations. Makes recommendations, if needed, for approval of major systems installations or changes and for obtaining equipment. May provide functional direction to lower level system s analysts who are assigned to assist. Class B. Works independently or under only general direction on problems that are relatively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program, and operate. Problems are of limited complexity because sources of input data are homogeneous and the output data are closely related. (For example, develops systems for maintaining depositor accounts in a bank, maintaining accounts receivable in a retail establishment, or maintaining inventory accounts in a manufacturing or wholesale establishment.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subjectmatter personnel on the implications of the data processing systems to be applied. OR Works on a segment of a complex data processing scheme or system , as described for class A. Works independently on routine assignments and receives instruction and guidance on complex assignments. Work is reviewed for accuracy of judgment, compliance with instructions, and to insure proper alignment with the overall system. Class C. Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analyses as assigned, usually of a single activity. Assignments are designed to develop and expand practical experience in the application of procedures and skills required for systems analysis work. For example, may assist a higher level systems analyst by preparing the detailed specifications required by programmers from information developed by the higher level analyst. assigned to assist. Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple programs, or on simple segments of complex programs. Progrsuns (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or formats.
