Area Wage Survey Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Metropolitan Area, August 1977 A /V AvA Preface This bulletin provides results of an August 1977 survey of occupa tional earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program. It was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Dallas, Tex., under the general direction of Boyd B. O'Neal, Assistant Regional Commissioner for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the co operation of the many firms 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.

(See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data (A -series tables) are collected annually. Infor mation on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B series tables) is obtained every third year. Table A-7 provides percent changes in average hourly earnings of office clerical workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance trades workers, and unskilled plant workers. Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled main tenance workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers em ployed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too small to warrant separate presentation. This table provides a measure of wage trends after elimination of changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. For further details, see appendix A. Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been com pleted, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and re gional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. B -series tables 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 markets, 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 may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and a s sistance 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. The B -series tables present information on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced typists and clerks; 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-shift work ers; paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance, and pension plans; and more detailed information on life insurance plans. 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, on the area's industrial composition in manufacturing, and on labor-management agreement coverage. A -series tables Tables A - l through A - 6 provide estimates of straight-time weekly or hourly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. For the 31 largest survey areas, tables A - 8 through A - 13 provide similar data for establishments employing 500 workers or more. Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field econ omists to classify workers by occupation. 2 A. Earnings Table A-1.

Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily re flect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in pro portions at 10 years include changes between 5 and 10 years. Estimates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after 10 years includes those eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after fewer years of service. 15 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. "Noncontributory plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workers' disability compensation, social se curity, and railroad retirement. 16 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that each employee can expect. Informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded. 17 Estimates under "A ll plans" relate to all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. Estimates under "Noncontrib utory plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer. 18 For "A ll industries," all full-time plant workers or office workers equal 100 percent. For "Manufacturing," all full-time plant workers or office workers in manufacturing equal 100 percent. 19 The mean amount is computed by multiplying the number of workers provided insurance by the amount of insurance provided, totaling the prod ucts, and dividing the sum by the number of workers. The median indicates that half of the workers are provided an amount equal to or smaller and half an amount equal to or larger than the amount shown. Middle range (50 per cent)— a fourth of the workers are provided an amount equal to or less than the smaller amount and a fourth are provided an amount equal to or more than the larger amount. Middle range (80 percent)— 10 percent of the work ers are provided an amount equal to or less than the smaller amount and 10 percent are provided an amount equal to or more than the larger amount. 20 A factor of annual earnings is the number by which annual earnings are multiplied to determine the amount of insurance provided. For example, a factor of 2 indicates that for annual earnings of $10,000 the amount of insurance provided is $20, 000. Some of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin. 1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at reg ular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours. 2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median desig nates position— half of the workers receive the same or more and half re ceive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn the same or less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn the same or more than the higher rate. 3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was provided by the establishment. 4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. 5 Estimates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men only for skilled maintenance and unskilled plant workers. All other estimates re late to men and women. 6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available. 7 Formally established minimum regular straight-time hiring sal aries that are paid for standard workweeks. 8 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as messenger. 9 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the most common standard workweeks reported. 10 Includes all plant workers in establishments currently operat ing late shifts, and establishments whose formal provisions cover late shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts. 11 Less than 0.05 percent. 12 Less than 0.5 percent. 13 All combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for example, the proportion of workers receiving a total of 10 days includes those with 10 full days and no half days, 9 full days and 2 half days, 8 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then were cumulated. 23 Appendix A. Scope and M ethod of Survey Data on area wages and related benefits are obtained by personal visits of Bureau field representatives at 3-year intervals. In each of the intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings is collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey. In each of the 74 1 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufac turing; transportation, 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 employ ment 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 number of 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 establish ments 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 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classifi cation if data are not available from the original sample member. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample member that is similar to the missing unit. Occupations and earnings Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufac turing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom, and powerplant; and (4) material movement and custodial. 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. 1 Ak r o n , Included in the Ohio; B i r m i n g h a m , a n d Syracuse, N .

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 the scope of the survey, are not presented in the A -series tables because either (1) employ ment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presen tation, 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 data for all industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with more than one level, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification is not shown or information to subclassify is not available. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time 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. Vertical lines within the distribution of workers on some A-tables indicate a change in the size of the class intervals. 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 firms may change, or high-wage 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. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A -7 , are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups. Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. 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. are 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 (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 estab lishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments 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 percent increases presented in table A-7 are based on changes in average hourly earnings of men and women in establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (matched establishments). The data are adjusted to remove the effect on average earnings of employ ment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors other than wage increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover may affect an establishment average for an occupation when workers are paid under plans providing a range of wage rates for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, new employees may enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates. The percent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the time span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual rates are shown. (It is assumed that wages increase at a constant rate between surveys.)

Average earnings are computed for each occupation for the 2 years being compared. The averages are derived from earnings in those establishments which are in the survey both years; it is assumed that employment remains unchanged. 2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in the occupational group in the base year. 3. These weights are used to compute group averages. Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1) is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average. 4. 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 result— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change. The incidence of selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions is studied for full-time plant workers and office workers. Plant workers include nonsupervisory workers and working supervisors engaged in nonoffice functions. (Cafeteria workers and route workers are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing industries.) Office workers include nonsupervisory workers and working supervisors performing clerical or related functions. Lead workers and trainees are included among nonsupervisory workers. Administrative, execu tive, professional and part-time employees as well as construction workers utilized as separate work forces are excluded from both the plant and office worker categories. switchboard operators are included in the w a g e trend c o m p u t a t i o n for all ex ce pt the following (Oregon), Computer systems analysts, classes A, B, and C Computer programmers, classes A, B, and C Computer operators, classes A, B, and C Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions Ca nton, Ch ic ag o, Cincinnati, D a v e n p o r t - R o c k Island-Moline, Houston, Huntsville, Jackson, N e w Orleans, a n d Wichita. Skilled maintenance For a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see "Improving Area Wage Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 52-57. Occupations used to compute wage trends are: areas: Electronic data processing Antonio, Seattle-Everett, So ut h Bend, Minimum entrance salaries (table B - l ) . Minimum entrance salaries for office workers relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques used and the probability that large establish ments 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. (The "X 's " shown under standard weekly hours indicate that no meaningful totals are applicable.) Shift differentials--- manufacturing (table B -2 ). Data were collected on policies of manufacturing establishments regarding pay differentials for plant workers on late shifts. Establishments considered as having policies are those which (1) have provisions in writing covering the operation of late shifts, or (2) have operated late shifts at any time during the 12 months preceding a survey. When establishments have several differentials which vary by job, the differential applying to the majority of the plant workers is recorded. When establishments have differentials which apply only to certain hours of work, the differential applying to the majority of the shift hours is recorded. For purposes of this study, a late shift is either a second (evening) shift which ends at or near midnight or a third (night) shift which starts at or near midnight. Differentials for second and third shifts are summarized separately for (1) establishment policies (an establishment's differentials are weighted by all plant workers in the establishment at the time of the survey) and (2) effective practices (an establishment's differentials are weighted by plant workers employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey). Scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans. Provisions which apply to a majority of the plant or office workers in an establishment are considered to apply to all plant or office workers in the establishment; a practice or provision is considered nonexistent when it applies to less than a majority. Holidays; vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are considered applicable to employees currently eligible for the benefits as well as to employees who will eventually become eligible. Scheduled weekly hours and days (table B -3 ). Scheduled weekly hours and days refer to the number of hours and days per week which full time first (day) shift workers are expected to work, whether paid for at straight-time or overtime rates. Paid holidays (table B -4 ). Holidays are included only if they are granted annually on a formal basis (provided for in written form or estab lished by custom). They are included even though in a particular year they fall on a nonworkday and employees are not granted another day off. Employees may be paid for the time off or may receive premium pay in lieu of time off. Data are tabulated to show the percent of workers who (1) are granted specific numbers of whole and half holidays and (2) are granted specified amounts of total holiday time (whole and half holidays are aggregated). Paid vacations (table B -5 ). Establishments report their method of calculating vacation pay (time ba sis, percent of annual earnings, flat-sum payment, etc.) and the amount of vacation pay granted. Only basic formal plans are reported. Vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans are excluded. For tabulating vacation pay granted, all provisions are expressed on a time basis. Vacation pay calculated on other than a time basis is converted to its equivalent time period. Two percent of annual earnings, for example, is tabulated as 1 week's vacation pay. Also, provisions after each specified length of service are related to all plant or office workers in an establishment regardless of length of service. Vacation plans commonly provide for a larger amount of vacation pay as service lengthens. Counts of plant or office workers by length of service were not obtained. The tabulations of vacation pay granted present, therefore, statistical measures of these provisions rather than proportions of workers actually receiving specific benefits. Health, insurance, and pension plans (tables B -6an d B -7 ). Health, insurance, and pension plans include plans for which the employer pays either all or part of the cost. The cost may be (1) underwritten by a commercial insurance company or nonprofit organization, (2) covered by a union fund to which the employer has contributed, or (3) borne directly by the employer out of operating funds or a fund set aside to cover the cost. A plan is included even though a majority of the employees in an establish ment do not choose to participate in it because they are required to bear part of its cost (provided the choice to participate is available or will eventually become available to a majority). Legally required plans such as social security, railroad retirement, workers' disability compensation, and temporary disability insurance3 are excluded. Life insurance includes formal plans providing indemnity (usually through an insurance policy) in case of death of the covered worker. Information is also provided in table B-7 on types of life insurance plans and the amount of coverage in all industries combined and in manufacturing. Accidental death and dismemberment is limited to plans which provide benefit payments in case of death or loss of limb or sight as a direct result of an accident. Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which provide that predetermined cash payments be made directly to employees who lose time from work because of illness or injury, e.g., $50 a week for up to 26 weeks of disability. Sick leave plans are limited to formal plans 4 which provide for continuing an employee's pay during absence from work because of illness. Data collected distinguish between (1) plans which provide full pay with no waiting period, and (2) plans which either provide partial pay or require a waiting period. 3 T e m p o r a r y disability insurance w h i c h provides benefits to c o v e r e d w o iters disabled b y injury or ill w h i c h is not w o r k - c o n n e c t e d is m a n d a t o r y u n de r State laws in California, Island.

S u c h a pl an n e e d not b e written, allowances d e t e r m i n e d o n a n individual basis are excluded. but informal sick leave Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sick ness 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 pay ments are almost always reduced by social security, workers' disability compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee. Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance plans reported in these surveys provide full or partial payment for basic services rendered. Hospitalization insurance covers hospital room and board and may cover other hospital expenses. Surgical insurance covers surgeons' fees. Medical insurance covers doctors' fees for home, office, or hospital calls. Plans restricted to post-operative medical care or a doctor's care for minor ailments at a worker's place of employment are not considered to be medical insurance. Major medical insurance coverage applies to services which go beyond the basic services covered under hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance. Major medical insurance typically (1) requires that a "deductible" (e.g., $50) be met before benefits begin, (2) has a coinsurance feature that requires the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20 percent) of certain expenses, and (3) has a specified dollar maximum of benefits (e.g., $ 10,000 a year). Dental insurance plans provide normal dental service benefits, usually for fillings, extractions, and X -rays. Plans which provide benefits only for oral surgery or repairing accident damage are not reported. Retirement pension plans provide for regular payments to the retiree for life. Included are deferred profit-sharing plans which provide the option of purchasing a lifetime annuity. Labor-management agreement coverage The following tabulation shows the percent of full-time plant and office workers employed in establishments in the Oklahoma City area in which a union contract or contracts covered a majority of the workers in the respective categories, August 1977: Plant workers Office workers 30 40 24 22 11 10 12 54 All industries______________ Manufacturing__________ Nonmanufacturing______ Public utilities______ An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plant or office workers if a majority of such workers is covered by a labormanagement agreement. Therefore, all other plant or office workers are employed in establishments that either do not have labor-management con tracts 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 labormanagement agreements, because small establishments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited. Industrial composition in manufacturing One-third of the workers within scope of the survey in the Oklahoma City area were employed in manufacturing firms. The following presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing: Industry groups Specific industries Machinery, except electrical__16 Electric and electronic equipment____________________ 15 Food and kindred products____ 15 Transportation equipment_____12 Fabricated metal products____ 10 Printing and publishing________ 7 Petroleum and coal products__ 7 Rubber and miscellaneous plastics products____________ 6 Apparel and other textile products_____________________ 5 Communication equipment___ 12 Fabricated structural metal products_____________________ 8 Motor vehicles and equipment____________________ 7 Petroleum refining___________ 7 Meat products________________ 5 New spapers___________________ 5 This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universe materials compiled before actual survey.

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 m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wag e 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 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used to classify establishments by industry division. However, all government operations are excluded f r o m the scope of the survey. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the m i n i m u m 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 fro m the separate plant and office categories.

Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bu reau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appro priate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establish ment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this empha sis 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; begin ners; and part-time, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. Trainees are excluded from the survey except for those re ceiving on-the-job training in some of the lower level professional and technical occupations. Office SECRET ARY— Continued SECRETARY Exclusions— Continued Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Maintains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activ ities of the supervisor. Works fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance. Perform s varied clerical and secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office routine and understanding of the organization, programs, and procedures related to the work of the supervisor. a. Positions which do not meet the "personal" described above; b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties; c. Stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of pro fessional, technical, or managerial persons; Exclusions d. Assistant-type positions which entail more difficult or more re sponsible technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typical’ of secretarial work, e.g., Administrative Assist ant, or Executive Assistant; Not all positions that are titled "secretary" possess the above characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows: secretary concept Listed below are several occupations for which revised descriptions or titles are being introduced in this survey: Tool and die maker Order clerk Guard Payroll clerk Shipper and receiver Secretary (previously surveyed Switchboard operator as shipping and Switchboard operator-receptionist receiving clerk) T ranscribing-machine typist T ruckdriver Machine tool operator (toolroom) The Bureau has discontinued collecting data for tabulating-machine operator. Workers previously classified as watchmen are now classified as guards under the revised description. 29 S E C R E T A R Y — C ontinu ed S E C R E T A R Y — C ontinued Exclusions— Continued Classification by Level— Continued e. Positions which do not fit any of the situations listed in the sections below titled "Level of Supervisor," e.g., secretary to the president of a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons; e. Secretary to the head of a large and important organizational segment (e.g., a middle management supervisor of an organi zational segment often involving as many as several hundred persons) of a company that employs, in all, over 25,000 persons. f. Trainees. Classification by Level Secretary jobs which meet the above characteristics are matched at one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary's supervisor within the company's organizational structure and, (b) the level of the secretary's responsibility. The chart following the explanations of these two factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of the factors. Level of Secretary's Supervisor (LS) Secretaries should be matched at one of the four LS levels described below according to the level of the secretary's supervisor within the company organizational structure. LS—1 a. Secretary to the supervisor or head of a small organizational unit (e.g., fewer than about 25 or 30 persons); or b. Secretary to a nonsupervisory staff specialist, professional employee, administrative officer or assistant, skilled technician or expert. (NOTE: M a n y companies assign stenographers, rather than secretaries as described above, to this level of supervisory or nonsupervisory worker.) LS—2 a. Secretary to an executive or managerial person whose respon sibility is not equivalent to one of the specific level situations in the definition for LS—3, but whose organizational unit normally numbers at least several dozen employees and is usually divided into organizational segments which are often, in turn, further subdivided. In some companies, this level includes a wide range of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; or " b. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, fewer than 5,000 persons. LS—3 a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that employs, in all, fewer than 100 persons; or b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than chairman of the board or president) of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5, 000 persons; or c. Secretary to the head (immediately below the officer level) over either a major corporatewide functional activity (e.g., marketing, research, operations, industrial relations, etc.) or a major geographic or organizational segment (e.g., a regional headquar ters; a major division) of a company that employs, in all, over 5, 000 but fewer than 25, 000 employees; or d. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons; or LS—4 a. 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 b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of the board or president) of a company that employs, in all, over 5, 000 but fewer than 25, 000 persons; or c. Secretary to the head, immediately below the corporate officer level, of a major segment or subsidiary of a company that employs, in all, over 25,000 persons. NOTE: The term "corporate officer" used in the above LS def inition refers to those officials who have a significant corporatewide policy making role with regard to major company activities. The title "vice president," though normally indicative of this role, does 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; di rectly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate officers" for purposes of applying the definition. Level of Secretary's Responsibility (LR) This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and the supervisor, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at LR—1 or LR—2 described below according to their level of responsibility. Level of Responsibility 1 (LR—1) Perform s varied secretarial duties including or comparable to most of the following: a. Answers telephones, greets coming mail. personal callers, and opens in b. Answers telephone requests which have standard answers. reply to requests by sending a form letter. May c. Reviews correspondence, memoranda, and reports prepared by others for the supervisor's signature to ensure procedural and typographical accuracy. d. Maintains supervisor's instructed. calendar and makes appointments as e. Types, takes and transcribes dictation, and files. S E C R E T A R Y — C on tin u ed S T E N O G R A P H E R — C ontinu ed Level of Responsibility 2 (LR—2) Stenographer, Senior Performs duties described under LR—1 and, in addition performs tasks requiring greater judgment, initiative, and knowledge of office functions including or comparable to most of the following: Dictation involves a varied technical or specialized vocabulary such as in legal briefs or reports on scientific research. May also set up and maintain file s, keep records, etc. a. Screens telephone and personal callers, determining which can be handled by the supervisor's subordinates or other offices. OR Perform s stenographic duties requiring significantly greater in dependence and responsibility than stenographer, general, as evidenced by the following: Work requires a high degree of stenographic speed and accuracy; a thorough working knowledge of general business and office pro cedure; and of the specific business operations, organization, policies, procedures, files, workflow, etc. Uses this knowledge in performing steno graphic duties and responsible clerical tasks such as maintaining follow up files; assembling material for reports, memoranda, and letters; com posing simple letters from general instructions; reading and routing incoming mail; and answering routine questions, etc. b. Answers requests which require a detailed knowledge of of fice procedures or collection of information from files or other offices. May sign routine correspondence in own or supervisor's name. c. Compiles or assists in compiling periodic reports on the basis of general instructions. d. Schedules tentative appointments without prior clearance. A s sembles necessary background material for scheduled meetings. Makes arrangements for meetings and conferences. e. Explains supervisor's requirements to other employees in super visor's unit. (Also types, takes dictation, and files.) TRANSCRIBING-MACHINE TYPIST Prim ary duty is to type copy of voice recorded dictation which does not involve varied technical or specialized vocabulary such as that used in legal briefs or reports on scientific research. May also type from written copy. May maintain files, keep simple records, or perform other relatively routine clerical tasks. (See Stenographer definition for workers involved with shorthand dictation.) The following chart shows the level of the secretary for each LS and LR combination. Level of secretary's supervisor Level of secretary's responsibility TYPIST LR—1 LS—1. LS—2. LS—3, LS—4. Class Class Class Class E D C B LR—2 Class Class Class Class Uses a typewriter to make copies of various materials or to make out bills after calculations have been made by another person. May include typing of stencils, mats, or similar materials for use in duplicating processes. May do clerical work involving little special training, such as keeping simple records, filing records and reports, or sorting and distributing incoming mail. D C B A Class A . Perform s one or more of the following: Typing material in final form when it involves combining material from several sources; or responsibility for correct spelling, syllabication, punctuation, etc., of tech nical or unusual words or foreign language material; or planning layout and typing of complicated statistical tables to maintain uniformity and balance in spacing. May type routine form letters, varying details to suit circumstances. STENOGRAPHER Prim ary duty is to take dictation using shorthand, and to transcribe the dictation. May also type from written copy. May operate from a stenographic pool. May occasionally transcribe from voice recordings (if primary duty is transcribing from recordings, see Transcribing-Machine Typist). Class B . Perform s one or more of the following; Copy typing from rough or clear drafts; or routine typing of forms, insurance policies, etc.; or setting up simple standard tabulations; or copying more complex tables already set up and spaced properly. NOTE; This job is distinguished from that of a secretary in that a secretary normally works in a confidential relationship with only one manager or executive and performs more responsible and discretionary tasks as described in the secretary job definition. FILE CLERK Stenographer, General Files, classifies, and retrieves material in an established filing system. May perform clerical and manual tasks required to maintain files. Positions are classified into levels on the basis of the following definitions. Dictation involves a normal routine vocabulary. May maintain files, keep simple records, or perform other relatively routine clerical tasks. 31 F I L E C L E R K — C on tin u ed O R D E R C L E R K — C ontinu ed C l a s s A .

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 prob lem 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 equip ment must be organized to produce several interrelated but diverse prod ucts from numerous and diverse data elements. A wide variety and ex tensive number of internal processing actions must occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations which can be re used, 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 assigned to assist. Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple programs, or on simple Segments of complex programs. Programs (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or formats. Reports and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor additions to or deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous records may be processed, the data have been refined in prior actions so that the accuracy and sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program deals with routine recordkeeping operations. OR Works on complex programs (as described for class A) under close direction of a higher level programmer or supervisor. May assist higher level programmer by independently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing more difficult tasks under fairly close direction. C O M P U T E R P R O G R A M M E R , B U S IN E S S — C ontinu ed May guide or instruct lower level programmers. Class C.
