Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out of a State fund to which only employees contribute. In each of the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan. State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey, employees and employers contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified maximum and employers pay the difference between the employees' share and the total contribution required. Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contribute more than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New York, employees can agree to contribute more if the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the benefit provided. Federal legislation (Railroad Unemployment Insurance. A c t) provides temporary disability insurance benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether work-connected or not. The legislation requires that employers bear the entire cost of the insurance. 4 A n establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

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 pay roll period studied, and (2) sm all establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used to classify estab lishments by industry division. However, a ll government operations are excluded from the scope of the survey. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. A ll 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-tim e, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories. 5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A - and B -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation are excluded. Wichita's transit system is municipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the survey.

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 m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. 7 W orkers from this entire division are represented in estimates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A -s e rie s tables, but from the real estate portion only in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing” in the B -series tables.

Appendix B. 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 inter establishment 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 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. Exclusions Not all positions that are titled "secretary" possess the above characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows: Exclus ions--- C ontinued a. Positions which do not meet the "personal" described above; b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties; c. Stenographers serving as bffice assistants to a group of pro fessional, technical, or managerial persons; 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; Listed below are several occupations for which revised descriptions or titles are being introduced in this survey: Tool and die maker Guard Shipper and receiver (previously surveyed as shipping and receiving clerk) T ruckdriver Order clerk Payroll clerk Secretary Switchboard operator Switchboard operator-receptionist Transcribing-machine typist 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 secretary concept SECRETARY— Continued SECRET ARY— Continued 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 LS 4 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. 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. 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— but whose organizational unit normally 3, 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 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— described below according to their level of responsibility. 2 Level of Responsibility 1 (LR—1) Performs varied secretarial duties including or comparable to most of the following: a. Answers telephones, greets coming mail. 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 personal callers, and opens in b.

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 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. 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 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 calendar and makes appointments as e. Types, takes and transcribes dictation, and files. 30 SECRETARY— Continued STENOGRAPHER— Continued 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 files, keep records, etc. OR a. Screens telephone and personal callers, determining which can be handled by the supervisor's subordinates or other offices. 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.
