Preface

This bulletin summarizes the results of an occupa­
tional wage survey of banks in 29 metropolitan areas in
1985. A similar survey was conducted in February 1980.
Reports were issued earlier for each of the 29 Stand­
ard Metropolitan Statistical Areas and also for New
York City separately. (See table of contents for a listing
of these areas and survey months.) In addition, two
summary reports providing occupational pay averages
were issued, one covering the areas surveyed from
January through July and the second covering those
surveyed from August through December.
The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of
Wages and Industrial Relations. Carl Barsky in the
Division of Occupational Pay and Employee Benefit

Levels analyzed the survey data and prepared this
bulletin. The Bureau’s field representatives obtained the
data through personal visits to a probability-based sam­
ple of establishments within the scope of the survey.
Fieldwork was directed by the Bureau’s Assistant
Regional Commissioners for Operations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s program of
industry wage studies, as well as the addresses of the
Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this
bulletin.

employees within the scope of the survey.6 They were
selected to represent the various activities and pay levels
of bank employees in three broad categories—general
clerical, electronic data processing ( e d p ) , and banking
occupations (table 1).
Average weekly earnings typically rose between 5 and
8 percent a year among comparable jobs in the 28 areas
that also were studied in February 1980.7 Between
March 1980 and March 1985, wages and salaries for
white-collar workers (less sales workers) rose 6.9 percent
annually, as measured by the Employment Cost Index.
Among the 29 areas in 1985, pay levels were usually
highest in Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, or San Francisco-Oakland, and lowest in St. Louis, Kansas City,
or Cincinnati. Among jobs that were common to a ma­
jority of areas, the difference between the highest and
lowest average typically ranged from 30 to 50 percent.
Top level (III) commercial loan officers, who service
loans for the bank’s largest corporate customers, were
the highest paid occupation in 21 of the 23 areas for
which data for this job could be published. Weekly
averages for these workers ranged from $682.50 in Min­
neapolis to $1,017 in Nassau-Suffolk, but fell between
$800 and $900 in most areas. For commercial loan of­
ficers II, the most populous of the nine loan officer
categories studied separately, averages ranged from
$519 in St. Louis to $816.50 in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Mortgage loan officers, as a group, typically averaged
20 to 35 percent more than their counterparts who ap­
prove personal credit loans.
The five teller categories studied included almost half
of the workers in the surveyed occupations. About ninetenths of these were either commercial-savings or all­
round tellers. The former are engaged in cashing checks,
receiving deposits to accounts, and paying out
withdrawals on customers’ checking and savings ac­
counts. All-round tellers perform these duties in addi­
tion to receiving payments on notes. Average weekly
earnings for commercial-savings and all-round tellers
ranged from approximately $200 to $260. Note tellers,
nearly always highest paid of the teller categories,

Introduction

As part of its regular industry wage survey program,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics studied occupational
wages and employee benefits of the banking industry in
29 major metropolitan areas in 1985.1 To reduce
government costs and ease the reporting burden on par­
ticipants in B L S surveys, the collection of data for the
banking survey was coordinated with data collection for
the Bureau’s area wage surveys conducted in the same
localities.1
2 Thus, b l s representatives could make one
visit to banks participating in both surveys, but with the
result that survey reference months for the banking
surveys vary by area throughout 1985: 1 area relating to
January; 3 to March; 4 to May; 3 each to June, July,
and August; 2 to September, 4 to October; and 3 each to
November and December.3
This difference in reference months should be con­
sidered when making pay comparisons among the areas.
However, banks tend to provide increases to their
employees during their annual pay reviews, commonly
in January. This practice lessens the effect of using dif­
ferent reference months in this survey. For white-collar
workers, excluding sales workers, wage and salary in­
creases averaged 4.0 percent between December 1984
and December 1985, as measured by the Bureau’s
Employment Cost Index.4
Earnings and benefits

Occupational pay reported in the banking survey
varied widely in 1985. This largely reflected the diversity
of skills in the industry and variation in pay among the
areas, as well as among individual workers within the
same job and bank.5
Occupations for which earnings data were developed
accounted for about three-tenths of the nonsupervisory

averaged as much as $306.50 in San Francisco—
Oakland.
About three-fourths of the 549 banks visited
employed all-round tellers. Among banks employing
such workers, slightly more than four-fifths had
minimum entrance (hiring) salaries, and about twothirds had formal minimum salaries for workers after
the completion of a probationary period Gob rates). En­
trance rates usually fell in the $150 to $200 per week
range, while job rates typically fell between $180 and
$300 (table 33).
Secretaries as a group were the highest paid and
numerically the most important of the clerical occupa­
tions studied. Secretaries were classified into five levels
on the basis of their responsibility as well as the level of
their supervisor. Top level secretaries (V) averaged from
$393 a week in Newark to $552.50 in Houston, among
the 16 areas for which data could be published.
Secretaries III, accounting for 7,200 employees
surveywide, averaged from $279 a week in Milwaukee to
$411 in Houston.
Average weekly earnings of computer operators, pro­
grammers, and systems analysts varied substantially
depending on the complexity of work performed and
the degree of independent judgment involved. For ex­
ample, weekly averages for top level (III) systems
analysts usually fell between $650 and $750 in the areas
for which data were publishable. Averages for systems
analysts II and systems analysts I tended to group
between $550 and $650 and between $450 and $550,
respectively.
Weekly averages for entry level file clerks, generally
the lowest paid survey job, ranged from $176.50 in
Detroit to $220.50 in Houston. Clerical occupations
generally found in the $200 to $250 range included level
I accounting clerks, key entry operators, typists, proofmachine operators, and safe deposit rental clerks.
For the first time in its banking surveys, the Bureau
developed information on two levels of word pro­
cessors. Approximately 2,000 word processors were
employed in the 29 areas in 1985. Weekly earnings for
workers at the entry level (I) ranged from $227.50 in
Kansas City to $310 in San Francisco—Oakland. Higher
level (II) processors averaged from $253 in Baltimore to
$350 in Dallas-Fort Worth. Within an area, level II
processors typically averaged 10 to 20 percent more than
their lower level counterparts.
Earnings of individual workers also varied widely
within the same job and area and even within the same
bank. Within an area, the top paid worker in a job often
received more than twice the lowest paid (tables 2-31).
Table 32 illustrates that the dispersion of wages paid to
workers in the same job and bank frequently exceeded
30 percent.
All of the full-time nonsupervisory employees studied
were in banks providing paid holidays and paid vaca­




2

tions (tables 36-37). Workers typically received between
9 and 11 paid holidays annually and 2 weeks of vacation
pay after 1 year of service, 3 weeks after either 5 or 8
years, and 4 weeks after 15 years.
Most workers were eligible for life, hospitalization,
surgical, basic, and major medical insurance, and sick
leave with full pay and no waiting period—paid for at
least partially by their employer (table 38). Life in­
surance plans usually were wholly employer-paid, but
health insurance plans usually were jointly financed by
employers and employees. Dental insurance, usually
jointly financed, was available to at least four-fifths of
the employees in 17 areas and to more than half of the
employees in most of the remaining areas.
Retirement pension plans, in addition to Social
Security, covered at least nine-tenths of the workers in
16 areas; between seven-tenths and nine-tenths in 9
areas; approximately three-fifths in Kansas City, Mem­
phis, and New Orleans, and just over one-half in
Louisville. Retirement severance plans applied to widely
different proportions of workers in 20 areas.
Data were also collected on the incidence of paid
funeral, jury-duty, military, and personal leave,
technological severance pay, supplemental unemploy­
ment benefits, and cost-of-living pay adjustments.
Funeral leave and jury-duty pay applied to at least fourfifths of the workers in almost all areas (table 39).
Severance pay, provided to workers permanently
separated from their jobs due to technological changes,
was available in all areas, but was generally more com­
mon in the Northeast and West than other regions. Paid
personal leave, designed to allow absences from work
for a variety of personal reasons, was granted to be­
tween one-half and three-fourths of the workers in 8
areas; between one-fifth and two-fifths in 7; and oneeighth or less in the remaining areas. These plans usually
provided up to 2 days of leave annually.
Industry characteristics

The 2,345 banks within the scope of the survey
employed approximately 655,000 workers in 1985; just
over three-fifths (414,000) were full-time nonsuper­
visory employees. Among individual areas, employment
ranged from about 120,000 in the New York
metropolitan area to about 10,000 or less in 10 areas.
Besides New York, only Los Angeles—Long Beach
(61,000) and Chicago (52,000) had more than 50,000
employees.
Employment grew by about 5 percent among the 28
areas surveyed in both 1980 and 1985. (Cleveland was
not studied in 1980.) Increases were 10 percent or more
in 12 areas, including a 64-percent rise in Nassau-Suffolk and a 45-percent growth in Baltimore. Employment
changed by less than 10 percent in 14 areas and declined
more than 10 percent in Chicago, New York City, and
Washington.

Women accounted for virtually all of the workers in
the clerical occupations studied and about nine-tenths
of the nonprofessional banking occupations. On the
other hand, among workers who could be identified by
sex, women accounted for slightly less than two-fifths
of the data processing workers and three-tenths of the
loan officers.
About seven-tenths of the nonsupervisory workers
were in banks that performed their own computer serv­
ices, either at a location of the bank (two-thirds) or by a
subsidiary company (about 5 percent). Banks employing
one-sixth of the workers contracted data processing
operations to other firms; contracting out was most com­
mon in the South and Midwest areas studied. The re­
maining workers (just over one-tenth) were in banks
handling data processing functions differently, such as a
combination of contracting out and in-house operations.
Formal wage payment plans, providing a range of




rates for specific occupations, applied to 80 percent or
more of the workers in 24 of the 29 areas studied (table
34). Informal systems which base salaries primarily on
an individual’s qualifications applied to as many as onefourth of the workers in Chicago and Dallas-Fort
Worth.
Work schedules of less than 40 hours a week typically
applied to banking employees in the Northeastern areas
studied (table 35). Schedules of 35, 36.25, or 37.5 hours
were the most commonly reported. In the South,
Midwest, and West, most workers were scheduled for 40
hours per week.
Virtually all banks studied had provisions for lateshift work in 1985. Among the areas, however, typically
less than 10 percent of the nonsupervisory workers were
actually employed on late shifts at the time of the
survey. Many of these late-shift workers were in data
processing functions.

Appendix A. Scope and
Method of Survey

Scope of survey

Employment

The survey included commercial and stock savings
banks and trust companies engaged in accepting
deposits from the public and extending credit by means
o f loans and investments (industry groups 602 and 603
as defined in the 1972 edition o f the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual prepared by the U.S. Office o f
Management and Budget). Separate auxiliary units such
as central offices were excluded.
Establishments studied were selected from those
employing 20 workers or more at the time o f reference
o f the data used in compiling the universe lists. Table
A -l shows the number of establishments and workers
estimated to be within the scope o f the survey, as well as
the number actually studied by the Bureau.

Estimates o f the number of workers within the scope
of the study are intended as a general guide to the size
and composition o f the industry’s labor force, rather
than as precise measures o f employment.
The terms “ all employees” (used in the establishment
practices and employee benefit tables) and “ nonsupervisory bank workers,” used interchangeably, include
full-time nonsupervisory office workers as well as
tellers, general office clerks, office machine operators,
loan officers, and electronic data processing employees.
Excluded are other professional and technical
employees and executive, administrative, and super­
visory employees.

Occupational classification
Method of study

Occupational classification was based on a uniform
set o f job descriptions designed to take account o f in­
terestablishment and interarea variations in duties
within the same job. (See appendix B for these descrip­
tions.) The criteria for selection o f the occupations were
the number o f workers in the occupation and ap­
propriate representation o f the entire job scale in the in­
dustry. Working supervisors, apprentices, learners,
beginners, trainees, and handicapped, part-time, tem­
porary, and probationary workers were not reported in
the data for selected occupations.
For occupations with more than one level, data are in­
cluded in the overall classification when a subclassifica­
tion is not shown or when information needed to
subclassify is not available.

Data were obtained by personal visits o f the Bureau’s
field representatives to a probability-based sample of
establishments within the scope o f the survey. To obtain
appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater pro­
portion o f large than of small establishments was
studied. In combining the data, each establishment was
given an appropriate weight. All estimates (except
minimum rates) are presented, therefore, as relating to
all establishments in the industry, excluding only those
below the minimum size at the time of reference o f the
universe data.

Month of reference
Wage information relates to a payroll period in­
cluding the 12th o f the month indicated for each area.
However, the data include wage and benefit changes
through the end of the reference month.

Wage data
Information on wages relates to straight-time weekly
earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for
work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive
payments, such as those resulting from piecework or
production bonus systems, and cost-of-living pay in­
creases (but not bonuses) were included as part o f the
workers’ regular pay. Excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments o f the type negotiated
in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profitsharing payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or
yearend bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses.

Establishment definition
An establishment was defined for this study as all
locations o f a banking firm within a metropolitan area,
except in New York. In the New York Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area, where separate data were
developed for New York City, an establishment was
defined as all locations of a bank within the 5 boroughs or
in the suburbs. Thus, a company in the New York area con­
sisted o f up to two establishments, one in the city and
one in the suburbs.

the employees surveyed received more than this rate and
one-half received less. The m id d le range is defined by
two rates of pay such that one-fourth of the employees
earned less than the lower of these rates and one-fourth
earned more than the higher rate.

Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers were
covered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in the
establishment. Because of length-of-service and other
eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers
receiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated.

Method of wage payment

P a id h o lid a ys.

Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day
and half-day holidays provided annually.

Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the
number of workers paid under the various time and in­
centive wage systems. Formal rate structures for time­
rated workers provide single rates or a range of rates for
individual job categories. In the absence of a formal
rate structure, pay rates are determined primarily by the
qualifications of the individual worker. A single rate
structure is one in which the same rate is paid to all ex­
perienced workers in the same job classification.
Learners, apprentices, or probationary workers may be
paid according to rate schedules which start below the
single rate and permit the workers to achieve the full job
rate over a period of time. An experienced worker occa­
sionally may be paid above or below the single rate for
special reasons, but such payments are exceptions.
Range-of-rate plans are those in which the minimum,
maximum, or both of these rates paid experienced
workers for the same job are specified. Specific rates of
individual workers within the range may be determined
by merit, length of service, or a combination of these.
Incentive workers are classified under piecework,
bonus, or commission pay plans.

The summary of vacation plans is
limited to formal arrangements and excludes informal
plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discre­
tion of the employer or supervisor. Payments not on a
time basis were converted; for example, a payment of 2
percent of annual earnings was considered the
equivalent of 1 week’s pay. The periods of service for
which data are presented represent the most common
practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual
establishment provisions for progression. For example,
changes in proportions indicated at 8 years of service
may include changes which occurred between 5 and 8
years.

insurance, a n d retirem en t p la n s. Data are
presented for health, insurance, pension, and retirement
severance plans for which the employer pays all or a
part of, the cost, excluding programs required by law
such as workers’ compensation and Social Security.
Among plans included are those underwritten by a com­
mercial insurance company and those paid directly by
the employer from current operating funds or from a
fund set aside for this purpose.
Death benefits are included as a form of life in­
surance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to
that type of insurance under which predetermined cash
payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly
or monthly basis during illness or accident disability. In­
formation is presented for all such plans to which the
employer contributes at least a part of the cost.
However, in New York and New Jersey, where tem­
porary disability insurance laws require employer con­
tributions,1 plans are included only if the employer (1)
contributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides
the employees with benefits which exceed the re­
quirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to for­
mal plans which provide full pay or a proportion of the
worker’s pay during absence from work because of ill­
ness; informal arrangements, have been omitted.
Separate tabulations are provided for (1) plans which
provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans
provide either partial pay or a waiting period.

plicable to all nonsupervisory workers if they applied to
half or more of such workers in the establishment.

Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions.

Minimum entrance and job salaries

Tabulations relate to formally established policies for
minimum weekly hiring and job salaries for inexperienc­
ed full-time all-round tellers of the banks in the
Bureau’s sample. For purposes of this study, inex­
perienced workers are defined as those who, at the time
of hire, either lack any previous experience, or lack ex­
perience that may be transferable to the job for which
they are employed.
Scheduled weekly hours

Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time nonsupervisory workers
employed on the day shift.
Shift provisions and practices

Shift provisions relate to the policies of
establishments either currently operating late shifts or
having formal provisions covering late-shift work. Prac­
tices relate to workers employed on late shifts at the
time of the survey.

however, establishments providing employees a choice
of either retirement severance payments or pensions
were considered as having only retirement pensions.

payments to totally disabled employees upon the expira­
tion of sick leave, sickness and accident insurance, or
both, or after a specified period of disability (typically 6
months). Payments are made until the end of disability,
a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits.
Payments may be full or partial, but are almost always
reduced by Social Security, workers’ compensation, and
private pension benefits payable to the disabled
employee.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com­
plete or partial payment of doctors’ fees. Such plans
may be underwritten by a commercial insurance com­
pany or a nonprofit organization, or they may be a form
of self-insurance.
Major medical insurance includes plans designed to
cover employees for services which go beyond those
covered under hospitalization, medical, and surgical in­
surance. Major medical plans typically have deductibles
and require copayments, and frequently have maximum
benefits. Comprehensive plans, which cover all expenses
with neither deductibles nor copayments, are not con­
sidered as including major medical insurance.
A health maintenance organization (hmo) provides
comprehensive health care services to a specified group
for fixed periodic payments rather than indemnification
or reimbursement for medical, surgical, and hospital
expenses.
Dental insurance, for purposes of this survey, covers
routine dental work such as fillings, extractions, and
X-rays. Excluded are plans which cover only oral
surgery or accidental injury.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to
plans which provide regular payments for the remainder
of the retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for
retirement severance pay (one payment or several over a
specified period of time) made to employees on retire­
ment. Establishments providing both retirement
severance payments and retirement pensions to




O th e r b en efits. Data for paid funeral and jury-duty
leave relate to formal plans which provide at least par­
tial payment for time lost as a result of attending
funerals of specified family members or serving as a
juror. Where paid jury-duty leave is required by law,
plans are included only if the employer provides the
employee with benefits exceeding legal requirements.
Technological severance pay includes formal plans
providing for payments to employees permanently
separated from the company because of a technological
change or closing.
Military leave relates to formal plans providing excus­
ed absence from work with full or partial pay while on
annual training duty. Plans that provide paid leave only
for temporary emergency duty are excluded.
Paid personal leave plans are designed to allow
workers to be absent from work for a variety of per­
sonal reasons. Plans intended for use as (or extension
of) paid holidays, vacations, or sick leave are not
reported as paid personal leave, but are reported as
holidays, vacations, or sick leave in accordance with the
intent of the provision.
Cost-of-living adjustments include formal plans by
which wage rates are adjusted periodically in keeping
with changes in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Con­
sumer Price Index or some other measure.
Supplemental unemployment benefit plans relate to
formal plans which supplement State unemployment in­
surance benefits paid to laid-off workers. Benefits are
paid either from pooled funds, in which the company
contributes to one fund for all employees; or from nonpooled funds, in which the company contributes to in­
dividual funds for each employee.

Appendix B. Occupational
Descriptions
a.

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions
for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field
representatives in classifying into appropriate occupa­
tions 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 com­
parability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job
descriptions may differ significantly from those used in
individual establishments or those prepared for other
purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the
Bureau’s field representatives were instructed to exclude
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handi­
capped, temporary, part-time, and probationary workers.
The titles and 4-digit codes below the job titles in this
appendix are taken from the 1980 edition of the Stand­
a rd O ccupational C lassification M anual (SOC), issued
by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of
Federal Statistical Policy and Standards.
In general, the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ occupa­
tional descriptions are much more specific than those
found in the soc manual. For example, most teller
categories have the soc designation bank teller (4791).
Thus, in comparing the results of this survey with other
sources, differences in occupational definitions should
be taken into consideration.

Trainees.

Classification by Level

Secretary jobs which meet the required characteristics
are matched at one of five levels according to two fac­
tors: (a) Level of the secretary’s supervisor within the
overall organizational structure, and (b) level of the
secretary’s responsibility. The table following the ex­
planations of these factors indicates the level of the
secretary for each combination of factors.

GENERAL CLERICAL OCCUPATIONS
Secretary

(4622: Secretary)
Provides principal secretarial support in an office,
usually to one individual, and, in some cases, also to the
subordinate staff of that individual. Maintains a close
and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day ac­
tivities of the supervisor and staff. Works fairly in­
dependently, receiving a minimum of detailed supervi­
sion and guidance. Performs varied clerical and
secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office
routine and an understanding of the organization, pro­
grams, and procedures related to the work of the office.

LS-1
Organizational structure is not complex and internal
procedures and administrative controls are simple and
informal; supervisor directs staff through face-to-face
meetings.

Not all positions titled “ secretary” possess
the above characteristics. Examples of positions which
are excluded from the definition are as follows:

LS-2
Organizational structure is complex and is divided in­
to subordinate groups that usually differ from each

Level of secretary’s supervisor (ls)

Secretaries should be matched at one of the three ls
levels below best describing the organization of the

65

other as to subject matter, function, etc.; supervisor
usually directs staff through intermediate supervisors;
internal procedures and administrative controls are for­
mal. An entire organization (e.g., division, subsidiary,
or parent organization) may contain a variety of subor­
dinate groups which meet the L S -2 definition. Therefore,
it is not unusual for one L S -2 supervisor to report to
another l s -2 supervisor.
The presence of subordinate supervisors does not by
itself mean L S -2 applies, e.g., a clerical processing
organization divided into several units, each performing
very similar work, is placed in L S - 1 .
In smaller organizations or industries such as retail
trade, with relatively few organizational levels, the
supervisor may have an impact on the policies and ma­
jor programs of the entire organization, and may deal
with important outside contacts, as described in L S -3 .
LS-3
Organizational structure is divided into two or more
subordinate supervisory levels (of which at least one is a
managerial level) with several subdivisions at each level.
Executive’s program(s) are usually interlocked on a
direct and continuing basis with other major organiza­
tional segments, requiring constant attention to exten­
sive formal coordination, clearances, and procedural
controls. Executive typically has: Financial decision­
making authority for assigned program(s); considerable
impact on the entire organization’s financial position or
image; and responsibility for, or has staff specialists in,
such areas as personnel and administration for assigned
organization. Executive plays an important role in
determining the policies and major programs of the en­
tire organization, and spends considerable time dealing
with outside parties actively interested in assigned pro­
gram^) and current or controversial issues.

LR-2
Handles differing situations, problems, and devia­
tions in the work of the office according to the super­
visor’s general instructions, priorities, duties, policies,
and program goals. Supervisor may assist secretary with
special assignments. Duties include or are comparable
to the following:
a. Screens telephone calls, visitors, and incoming
correspondence; personally responds to requests
for information concerning office procedures;
determines which requests should be handled by
the supervisor, appropriate staff member, or
other offices. May prepare and sign routine,
nontechnical correspondence in own or super­
visor’s name;
b. Schedules tentative appointments without prior
clearance. Makes arrangements for conferences
and meetings and assembles established
background materials, as directed. May attend
meetings and record and report on the pro­
ceedings;
c. Reviews outgoing materials and correspondence
for internal consistency and conformance with
supervisor’s procedures; assures that proper
clearances have been obtained, when needed;
d. Collects information from the files or staff for
routine inquiries on office program(s) or periodic
reports. Refers nonroutine requests to supervisor
or staff;
e. Explains to subordinate staff supervisor’s re­
quirements concerning office procedures. Coor­
dinates personnel and administrative forms for
the office and forwards for processing.

Level of secretary’s responsibility (lr)

This factor evaluates the nature of the work relation­
ship between the secretary and the supervisor or staff,
and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exer­
cise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be
matched at the level best describing their level of respon­
sibility. When a position’s duties span more than one l r
level, the introductory paragraph at the beginning of
each l r level should be used to determine which of the
levels best matches the position. (Typically, secretaries
performing at the higher levels of responsibility also
perform duties described at the lower levels.)
LR-1
Carries out recurring office procedures independent­
ly. Selects the guideline or reference which fits the
specific case. Supervisor provides specific instructions
on new assignments and checks completed work for ac­




curacy. Performs varied duties including or comparable
to the following:
a. Responds to routine telephone requests which
have standard answers; refers calls and visitors to
appropriate staff. Controls mail and assures
timely staff response; may send form letters;
b. As instructed, maintains supervisor’s calendar,
makes appointments, and arranges for meeting
rooms;
c. Reviews materials prepared for supervisor’s ap­
proval for typographical accuracy and proper
format;
d. Maintains recurring internal reports, such as:
time and leave records, office equipment listings,
correspondence controls, training plans, etc.;
e. Requisitions supplies, printing, maintenance, or
other services. Types, takes and transcribes dic­

approach or action to take in nonroutine situations. In66

propriate staff member; as needed, interprets re­
quest and helps implement action; makes sure
that information is furnished in timely manner;
decides whether executive should be notified of
important or emergency matters.

terprets and adapts guidelines, including unwritten
policies, precedents, and practices, which are not always
completely applicable to changing situations. Duties in­
clude or are comparable to the following:
a. Based on a knowledge of the supervisor’s views,
composes correspondence on own initiative
about administrative matters and general office

b. Anticipates and prepares materials needed by the
supervisor for conferences, correspondence, ap­
pointments, meetings, telephone calls, etc., and
informs supervisor on matters to be considered;
c. Reads publications, regulations, and directives
and takes action or refers those that are impor­
tant to the supervisor and staff;
d. Prepares special or one-time reports, summaries,

from high-ranking outside officials (e.g., city or State
officials, members of Congress, presidents of national
unions or large national or international firms, etc.) in
unique situations.
These officials may be relatively inaccessible, and
each contact typically must be handled differently, us­
ing judgment and discretion.

LR-4
Handles a wide variety of situations and conflicts in­
volving the clerical or administrative functions of the
office which often cannot be brought to the attention of
the executive. The executive sets the overall objectives
of the work. Secretary may participate in developing the

Levels I and II require a basic knowledge of routine
clerical methods and office practices and procedures as
they relate to the clerical processing and recording of
transactions and accounting information. Levels III and
IV require a knowledge and understanding of the
established and standardized bookkeeping and accoun­
ting procedures and techniques used in an accounting
system, or a segment of an accounting system, where
there are few variations in the types of transactions
handled. In addition, some jobs at each level may re­
quire a basic knowledge and understanding of the ter­
minology, codes, and processes used in an automated
accounting system.

File Clerk II

Sorts, codes, and files unclassified material by simple
(subject matter) headings or partly classified material by

ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING
OCCUPATIONS
Computer Systems Analyst, Business

(1712: Computer systems analyst)
Analyzes business problems to formulate procedures
for solving them by use of electronic data processing
equipment. Develops a complete description of all
specifications needed to enable programmers to prepare
70

instructions, and to insure proper alignment with the
overall system.

required digital computer programs. Work involves
most of the following: Analyzes subject-matter opera­
tions to be automated and identifies conditions and
criteria required to achieve satisfactory results; specifies
number and types of records, files, and documents to be
used; outlines actions to be performed by personnel and
computers in sufficient detail for presentation to
management and for programming (typically this in­
volves preparation of work and data flow charts); coor­
dinates the development of test problems and par­
ticipates in trial runs of new and revised systems; and
recommends equipment changes to obtain more effec­
tive overall operations. 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 systems analysts primarily
concerned with scientific or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, systems analysts are
classified as follows:

Computer Systems Analyst III

Works independently or under only general direction
on complex problems involving all phases of systems
analysis. Problems are complex because of diverse
sources of input data and multiple-use requirements of
output data. (For example, develops an integrated pro­
duction 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 follow-up actions are in­
itiated by the computer.) Confers with persons concern­
ed to determine the data processing problems and ad­
vises subject-matter personnel on the implications of
new or revised systems of data processing operations.
Makes recommendations, if needed, for approval of
major systems installations or changes and for obtain­
ing equipment.
May provide functional direction to lower level
systems analysts who are assigned to assist.

Computer Systems Analyst I

Computer Programmer, Business

Works under immediate supervision, carrying out
analyses as assigned, usually of a single activity.
Assignments are designed to develop and expand prac­
tical 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.

(3971: Programmer, business)
Converts statements of business problems, typically
prepared by a systems analyst, into a sequence of detail­
ed 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 com­
puter 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 com­
puters, and particular subject matter involved to
analyze charts and diagrams of the problem to be pro­
grammed; 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 re­
quirements; 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 con­
cerned with scientific and/or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, programmers are classified
as follows:

Computer Systems Analyst II

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 in­
ventory accounts in a manufacturing or wholesale
establishment.) Confers with persons concerned to
determine the data processing problems and advises
subject-matter 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 level III. Works in­
dependently on routine assignments and receives in­
struction and guidance on complex assignments. Work
is reviewed for accuracy of judgment, compliance with




71

Computer Programmer I

Computer Operator

Makes practical applications of programming prac­
tices and concepts usually learned in formal training
courses. Assignments are designed to develop com­
petence in the application of standard procedures to
routine problems. Receives close supervision on new
aspects of assignments; and work is reviewed to verify
its accuracy and conformance with required procedures.

(4612: Computer operator)
In accordance with operating instructions, monitors
and operates the control console of a digital computer
to process data. Executes runs by either serial processing
(processes one program at a time) or multiprocessing
(processes two or more programs simultaneously). The
following duties characterize the work of a computer
operator:
a. Studies operating instructions to determine
equipment setup needed;
b. Loads equipment with required items (tapes,
cards, disks, paper, etc.);
c. Switches necessary auxiliary equipment into
system;
d. Starts and operates computer;
e. Responds to operating and computer output in­
structions;
f. Reviews error messages and makes corrections
during operation or refers problems;
g. Maintains operating record.
May test-run new or modified programs. May assist
in modifying systems or programs. The scope of this
definition includes trainees working to become fully
qualified computer operators, and lead operators pro­
viding technical assistance to lower level operators. It
excludes workers who monitor and operate remote ter­
minals.
For wage study purposes, computer operators are
classified as follows:

Computer Programmer II

Works independently or under only general direction
on relatively simple programs, or on simple segments of
complex programs. Programs (or segments) usually pro­
cess information to produce data in two or three varied
sequences or formats. Reports and listings are produced
by refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor addi­
tions 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 level
III) under close direction of a higher level programmer
or supervisor. May assist higher level programmer by in­
dependently performing less difficult tasks assigned,
and performing more difficult tasks under fairly close
direction.
May guide or instruct lower level programmers.

Computer Operator I

Work assignments are limited to established produc­
tion runs (i.e., programs which present few operating
problems). Assignments may consist primarily of onthe-job training (sometimes augmented by classroom in­
struction). When learning to run programs, the super­
visor or a higher level operator provides detailed written
or oral guidance to the operator before and during the
run. After the operator has gained experience with a
program, however, the operator works fairly in­
dependently in applying standard operating or correc­
tive procedures in responding to computer output in­
structions or error conditions, but refers problems to a
higher level operator or the supervisor when standard
procedures fail.

Computer Programmer III

Works independently or under only general direction
on complex problems which require competence in all
phases of programming concepts and practices. Work­
ing from diagrams and charts which identify the nature
of desired results, major processing steps to be ac­
complished, 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 com­
puter 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 opera­
tions which can be reused, establishment of linkage
points between operations, adjustments to data when
program requirements exceed computer storage capaci­
ty, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of
data elements to form a highly integrated program.
May provide functional direction to lower level pro­
grammers who are assigned to assist.




Computer Operator II

In addition to established production runs, work
assignments include runs involving new programs, ap­
plications, and procedures (i.e., situations which require
the operator to adapt to a variety of problems). At this
level, the operator has the training and experience to
work fairly independently in carrying out most
assignments. Assignments may require the operator to
select from a variety of standard setup and operating
72

procedures. In responding to computer output instruc­
tions or error conditions, applies standard operating or
corrective procedures, but may deviate from standard
procedures when standard procedures fail if deviation
does not materially alter the computer unit’s production
plans. Refers the problem or aborts the program when
procedures applied do not provide a solution. May
guide lower level operators.
Computer Operator III

In addition to work assignments described for com­
puter operator II (see above) the work of computer
operator III involves at least one of the following:
a. Deviates from standard procedures to avoid the
loss of information or to conserve computer time
even though the procedures applied materially
alter the computer unit’s production plans;
b. Tests new programs, applications, and pro­
cedures;
c. Advises programmers and subject-matter experts
on setup techniques;
d. Assists in (1) maintaining, modifying, and
developing operating systems or programs; (2)
developing operating instructions and techniques
to cover problem situations; and/or (3) switching
to emergency backup procedures (such assistance
requires a working knowledge of program
language, computer features, and software
systems).
An operator at this level typically guides lower level
operators.

BANKING OCCUPATIONS
Loan Officer

(1415: Loan officer)
Initiates and carries out activities relating to the ex­
tension of credit to individuals and corporations. Seeks
loan business and assures that loan commitments are
fulfilled. Serves as the primary representative of the
bank to its loan customers.
Because of differing State laws and regulations, the
duties of a loan officer vary widely. At a minimum,
however, the loan officer must be responsible for: 1)
Approving or rejecting loans within a specified credit
authority; or 2) if the bank’s loans in the incumbent’s
area of activity (i.e., commercial, mortgage, or personal
credit) are only approved by a loan committee, the
recommendation of such approval or disapproval to the
committee. ’
Duties generally include several of the following: In­
terviewing loan applicants; gathering and analyzing
financial data; approving or recommending approval of
loans within specified limits; establishing and
negotiating terms of credit, including cost, schedule,
method of repayment and collateral requirements;




73

directing the preparation of loan documents; exerting
collection efforts on delinquent loans; and seeking new
business. Loan officers may also: Provide customers
