Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose o f preparing jo b descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are em ployed under a variety o f 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 com parability o f 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, handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers. O F F IC E BILLER, MACHINE BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or electrom atic typewriter. May also keep records as to billings or shipping charges or perform other clerical work incidental to billin g operations. For wage study purposes, billers, m achine, are classified by type o f m achine, as follows: Operates a bookkeeping machine (Remington Rand, Elliott Fisher, Sundstrand, Burroughs, National Cash Register, with or without a type writer keyboard) to keep a record of business transactions. Class A . Keeps a set of records requiring a knowledge o f and experience in basic bookkeeping principles, and familiarity with the structure o f the particular accounting system used. Determines proper records and distribution o f debit and credit items to be used in each phase o f the work. May prepare consolidated reports, balance sheets, and other records by hand. Biller, m achine (billing machine). Uses a special billing m a chine (M oon Hopkins, Elliott Fisher, Burroughs, e tc. , which are com bination typing and adding machines) to prepare bills and invoices from customers' purchase orders, internally prepared orders, shipping memorandums, e tc . Usually involves application o f predetermined discounts and shipping charges, and entry of necessary extensions, which m ay or may not be computed on the billing m achine, and totals which are automatically accumulated by m achine. The oper ation usually involves a large number of carbon copies o f the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold m achine. Class B. Keeps a record o f one or more phases or sections o f a set of records usually requiring little knowledge o f basic book keeping. Phases or sections include accounts payable, payroll, cus tomers' accounts (not including a simple type o f billing described under biller, m achine), cost distribution, expense distribution, in ventory control, etc. May check or assist in preparation of trial balances and prepare control sheets for the accounting department. Biller, machine (bookkeeping machine). Uses a bookkeeping machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fisher, Remington Rand, e t c . , which may or may not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare customers' bills as part o f the accounts receivable operation. Generally involves the simultaneous entry o f figures on customers' ledger record. The m a chine autom atically accumulates figures on a number o f vertical columns and computes, and usually prints automatically the debit or credit balances. Does not involve a knowledge o f bookkeeping. Works from uniform and standard types o f sales and credit slips. CLERK, ACCOUNTING Class A . Under general direction o f a bookkeeper or accountant, has responsibility for keeping one or more sections o f a complete set o f books or records relating to one phase o f an establishment's busi ness transactions. Work involves posting and balancing subsidiary 11 12 CLERK, ACCOUNTING— Continued ledger or ledgers such as accounts receivable or accounts payable; examining and coding invoices or vouchers with proper accounting distribution; and requires judgment and experience in making proper assignations and allocations. May assist in preparing, adjusting, and closing journal entries; and may direct class B accounting clerks. Class B. Under supervision, performs one or more routine a c counting operations such as posting simple journal vouchers or accounts payable vouchers, entering vouchers in voucher registers; reconciling bank accounts; and posting subsidiary ledgers controlled by general ledgers, or posting simple cost accounting data. This jo b does not require a knowledge o f accounting and bookkeeping principles but is found in offices in which the more routine accounting work is subdivided on a functional basis among several workers. CLERK, FILE Class A . In an established filing system containing a number o f varied subject matter files, classifies and indexes file material such as correspondence, reports, technical documents, e tc. May also file this material. May keep records o f various types in con junction with the files. May lead a small group o f lower level file clerks. Class B. Sorts, codes, and files unclassified material by simple (subject matter) headings or partly classified material by finer sub headings. Prepares simple related index and cross-reference aids.
