Occupational Compensation Pilot Survey Albuquerque, NM February− −March 1996 U.S. Department of Labor Robert B. Reich, Secretary Bureau of Labor Statistics Katharine G. Abraham, Commissioner August 1996 Bulletin 3082-1 Preface tion and Working Conditions, in cooperation with the Office of Field Operations and the Office of Technology and Survey Processing, in the BLS National Office was responsible for the survey design and data processing and analysis. This survey of occupational pay was conducted in February/March 1996 in the Albuquerque, New Mexico Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The MSA includes the counties of Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Valencia. Albuquerque is the first area selected for a series of tests using a new way of identifying and classifying occupations in establishments. The revised data collection procedure introduces a new method for determining the level of duties and responsibilities of surveyed occupations. This method, called “generic leveling,” will replace the job classification system now used in the Occupational Compensation Survey program (OCS). An entirely new statistical program will replace the existing OCS program, Employment Cost Index, and Employee Benefit Survey series. The working title of the program is COMP2000. Hourly wage rates for various occupational classifications compose the bulk of the information contained in this bulletin. One table contains data on weekly wage rates. Tables showing the number of workers included in the wage data are also presented. The bulletin consists primarily of tables whose data are analyzed in the initial textual section. Also contained in this bulletin is information on the new COMP2000 program, a technical note describing survey procedures, and several appendixes with detailed information on occupational classifications and the generic leveling methodology. Survey data were collected and reviewed by Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) field economists under the direction of the Dallas Regional Office.

The same holds for all future COMP2000 products. Occupations surveyed for this bulletin were selected using probability techniques from a list of all those present in each establishment. Previous OCS bulletins were limited to a preselected list of occupations, which represented a small subset of all occupations in the economy. Information in the new bulletin is published for a variety of occupation-based data. This new approach includes data on broad occupational classification, such as white-collar workers, major occupational groups such as sales workers, and individual occupations such as cashiers. In tables containing job levels within occupational series, the levels are derived from generic standards that apply to all occupational groups. The job levels in the OCS bulletins were based on narrowly-defined descriptions that were not comparable across specific occupations. Occupational data in this bulletin are also tabulated for other classifications such as industry group, full-time versus part-time status, union versus nonunion status, and establishment employment size. Not all of these series were generated by the OCS program. Finally, the establishments surveyed in this bulletin were selected from among all private and State and local government establishments. Previous OCS samples were limited to establishments with 50 or more employees. The wider scope of the COMP2000 program means that virtually all workers in the Albuquerque metropolitan statistical area are covered, excluding only private household and farm workers and employees of the Federal Government. This bulletin represents the first test product of a new Bureau of Labor Statistics program called COMP2000. COMP2000 integrates three existing programs: the Occupational Compensation Survey (OCS), the Employment Cost Index (ECI), and the Employee Benefits Survey (EBS), into one comprehensive compensation program. Data from the new survey will be jointly collected from one common sample of establishments. The survey has several major goals: To make the most efficient use of available resources--dollars, people, and technology; to minimize the burden of collection on respondents; and to provide a wide range of statistical outputs reflecting up-todate economic and statistical concepts. The streamlining of programs and the addition of data will be phased in over time. At first, testing will concentrate on wage level data (such as contained in this bulletin) and the collection of demographic characteristics of workers (e.g., length of service). In Fall 1996, a new areabased sample will be put into place that will allow for the collection of wage data based on the methods refined in the early tests. The larger metropolitan area collections will yield bulletins similar to this one, which will replace the current Occupational Compensation Survey bulletins. Further testing concerning benefit data, wage trend data, and other compensation characteristics will begin within the next year. Based on those test results, new collection procedures for those types of statistics will be developed. The new procedures will be implemented beginning in 1998. Eventually, wage data and benefit information collected from the sample will be used to produce compensation indexes and statistics on benefit provisions and incidence. These new series will supplant the current ECI and EBS programs. 1 Wages in the Albuquerque, NM metropolitan area Straight-time wages in the Albuquerque metropolitan area averaged $12.84 per hour during February and March, 1996 (table 2). White-collar workers had the highest average wage level, $15.62 per hour. Blue-collar workers averaged $10.93 per hour, while service workers had average earnings of $6.57 per hour. Within each of these occupational groups, average wages for individual occupations varied widely. For example, white-collar occupations included industrial engineers at $25.71 per hour, social workers at $15.20 per hour, and telephone operators at $9.31 per hour. Among occupations in the blue-collar category, automobile mechanics averaged $12.16 per hour while stock handlers and baggers averaged $7.00 per hour. Finally, service workers included waiters and waitresses at $2.70 per hour (not including tips) and janitors and cleaners at $7.14 per hour. Table 2 presents earnings data for 78 detailed occupations; data for other detailed occupations could not be reported separately due to concerns about the confidentiality of survey respondents. Private industry workers, about 85 percent of the Albuquerque labor force studied, averaged $12.57 per hour, while State and local government workers earned $14.36 per hour (chart 1). (All comparisons in this analysis cover hourly rates for both full- and part-time workers, unless otherwise noted.) The difference in wages between the private and government sectors reflects several factors (chart 2). First, there was a greater proportion of higher paid, professional specialty and technical workers in State and local governments (39 percent of all employees) than in private industry (16 percent). Similarly, there was a greater proportion of government employees in service occupations (26 percent) than there were in the private sector (18 percent). Service workers in State and local governments, which included such jobs as police officers and firefighters, average $9.00 per hour compared to an average of $5.84 per hour for private sector service workers, which were more often food and health-related occupations.

Average pay for incentive workers was $15.09 per hour compared with $12.72 per hour for time-based employees. Among sales occupations, incentive workers averaged $16.79 per hour compared with an average of $9.57 per hour for time-based sales workers. Another reason for differences in pay between the private and government sectors is the higher number of parttime workers in the private sector than in State and local governments. Approximately 23 percent of private sector employees in Albuquerque worked part time, compared with only 14 percent of State and local government workers. Average wages for full-time workers in Albuquerque were $13.55 per hour, compared with an average of $7.89 per hour for part-time workers (tables 3-4). For some occupations, there was a large difference in wages between full- and part-time workers. For example, full-time general office clerks averaged $8.61 per hour compared with $6.05 per hour for their part-time counterparts. In other occupations, wages varied only slightly based on full- or part-time work schedule. Full-time waiters and waitresses averaged $2.77 per hour while part-timers averaged $2.50 per hour. Wages for different levels of work within major occupational groups showed a consistent pattern (table 7). With a few exceptions, as the level of work increased, so did the corresponding wage rate. A given level within a group may not have data because no workers were identified at that level or because there were not enough data to guarantee confidentiality. Among professional specialty occupations, workers at level 5 (typically entry level workers with a college degree) averaged $12.38 per hour. Workers at level 11, considered a fully functional professional, averaged $22.68 per hour. Finally, at the more senior level 13, professionals averaged $35.71 per hour. Blue-collar occupations were typically classified at lower work levels, and there was less of a spread in wages between lower and higher levels of work in an occupational group. For example, machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors wages ranged from an average of $5.78 per hour at level 1 (entry level or perform simple repetitive tasks) to $11.67 per hour at level 5 (skilled, experienced level) (chart 3). Union workers had higher hourly wage rates ($14.21) in Albuquerque than nonunion workers ($12.66) (table 9). Approximately 11 percent of the employees in Albuquerque were classified as union employees. Data are also available on average wages for employees paid on an incentive basis (typically a base pay plus commission or piece work) and employees paid strictly Chart 3. Hourly wage rates by level for machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors, Albuquerque, NM, February-March 1996 Dollars per hour $ 12 10 8 6 4 1 2 3 4 5 Levels In the private sector, hourly wages averaged $13.37 in goods-producing industries compared with $12.33 in service-producing industries (table 12). Average hourly wages did vary more widely between industry divisions. For example, workers in transportation and public utilities averaged $15.62 per hour while workers in wholesale and retail trade averaged $9.04 per hour. Average hourly earnings generally increased as the number of workers in an establishment increased (table 16). Among workers in private sector establishments with fewer than 100 workers, earnings averaged $11.15 per hour. Private sector establishments with 100 workers or more employed workers with average wages of $14.00 per hour. In the largest establishments, those with 500 workers or more, wages averaged $16.40 per hour. 3 Table 1.

Individual occupations are classified into one of nine major occupational groups. 2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time – – – – – – 4,078 – 349 – – – 9,475 – – – – – – – – – – 4,078 – – – – – – – – 1,928 17,761 – 1,928 16,791 – – – 2,495 2,116 – 2,495 2,116 1,722 – 2,908 – – – – – 736 1,722 – 2,869 – – – – – – schedule.

They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, hazard pay, and on-call pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers, weighted by hours. The median designates position--one-half of the workers receive the same as or more, and one-half receive the same as or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay--one-fourth of the workers earn the same as or less than the lower of these rates, and one-fourth earn the same as or more than the higher rate. 2 All workers include full-time and part-time workers.

Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 3 A classification system including about 450 individual occupations is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. Individual occupations are classified into one of nine major occupational groups. NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupational groups and occupational levels may include data for categories not shown separately. N.E.C. means "not elsewhere classified."

It is divided into three parts: Planning for the survey; data collection; and processing and analyzing the data. While this section answers some questions commonly asked by data users, it is not a comprehensive description of all the steps required to produce the data. The sample design for this survey area was a two stage probability sample of detailed occupations. The first stage of sample selection was a probability-proportional-to-size sample of establishments. Use of this technique means that the larger an establishment’s employment, the greater its chance of selection. Weights were applied to each establishment when the data were tabulated so that it represents similar units (by industry and employment size) in the economy which were not selected for collection. See Appendix Table 1 for a count of establishments in the survey by employment size. The second stage of sample selection, detailed below, was a probability sample of occupations within a sampled establishment. Planning for the survey The overall design of the survey, which was based on the type of data to be produced, had to be developed before data collection could begin. Data collection Survey scope This survey of the Albuquerque, NM Metropolitan Statistical Area covered establishments employing workers1 in goods-producing industries (mining, construction and manufacturing); service-producing industries (transportation, communications, electric, gas, and sanitary services; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services industries); and State and local governments. For purposes of this survey an establishment was an economic unit which produces goods or services, a central administrative office, or an auxiliary unit providing support services to a company. For all industries in this survey and for State and local governments, the establishment was usually at a single physical location. Numerous procedures were developed for the actual collection of data from survey respondents. Occupational selection and classification Identification of the occupations for which wage data were to be collected was a multi-step process: Step one: Probability-proportional-to-size selection of company jobs. Step two: Classification of jobs into occupations based on the Census of Population system. Step three: Characterization of jobs as full-time v. part-time, union v. nonunion, and time v. incentive. Step four: Determination of the level of work of each job. Sampling frame The list of establishments from which the survey sample was selected (the sampling frame) was developed from the State unemployment insurance reports for the Albuquerque, NM Metropolitan Statistical Area (December 1994).The sampling frame was reviewed prior to the survey and, when necessary, missing establishments were added. For each occupation, wage data were collected only for those workers who met all the criteria identified in the last three steps. In step one, the company jobs to be sampled were selected at each establishment by the BLS field economist during a personal visit. A complete list of employees was used for sampling, with each selected worker representing a job within the establishment. As with the selection of establishments, the selection of a company job was based on probability proportional to its size in the establishment. The greater the number of people working in a job in the establishment, the greater its chance of selection. Sample design 1 If an establishment had at least one employee at the time data were collected, it was in-scope for the survey. In theory, any sampled establishment in the universe could have one or more employees when the data are actually collected. 29 termined through collective bargaining or negotiations; and 3) settlement terms, which must include earnings provisions and may include benefit provisions, were embodied in a signed, mutually binding collective bargaining agreement. If these conditions were not met, the worker’s job was classified as nonunion. The number of jobs collected in each establishment was based on an establishment’s employment size as shown in the following schedule: Number of employees Number of selected jobs 0-49 4 50-99 8 100-249 10 250-499 12 500-999 16 1000+ 20 Generic leveling through point factor analysis In the last step before wage data were collected, the work level of each selected job was determined using a “generic leveling” process. Generic leveling ranks and compares all occupations randomly selected in an establishment using the same criteria. This is a major departure from the method used in the past in the Bureau’s Occupational Compensation Surveys which studied specifically defined occupations with leveling definitions unique to each occupation. For the Albuquerque survey, the level of each occupation in an establishment was determined by an analysis of each of 10 leveling factors. Nine of these factors are drawn from the U.S. Government Office of Personnel Management’s Factor Evaluation System, which is the underlying structure for evaluation of General Schedule Federal employees. The tenth factor, supervisory duties, is an attempt to account for the effect of supervisory duties. It is considered experimental. The 10 factors were: NOTE: If the number of employees in an establishment was less than four, then the number of company jobs selected would be equal to the number of employees. The second step of the process entailed classifying the selected jobs into occupations based on their duties. The COMP2000 occupational classification system is based on the 1990 Census of Population. A selected company job may fall into any one of about 450 occupational classifications, from accountant to wood lathe operator. In cases where a job’s duties overlapped two or more census classification codes, classification was based on the primary duty. Each occupational classification is an element of a broader classification known as a major occupational group (MOG). Occupations can fall into any of the following MOG’s: • • • • • • • • • • • Professional specialty and technical • Executive, administrative, and managerial • Sales • Administrative support including clerical • Precision production, craft, and repair • Machine operators, assemblers, and repair inspectors • Transportation and material moving • Handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers, and laborers, • Service occupations Knowledge Supervisory duties Supervisory controls Guidelines Complexity Scope and effect Personal contacts Purpose of contacts Physical demands Work environment Each factor contains a number of levels and each level has an associated written description and point value. The number and range of points differs among the factors. For each factor, an occupation was assigned a level based on which written description best matched the job. Within each occupation, the points for the 10 factors were recorded and totaled. The total determines the overall level of the occupation. A description of the levels for each factor, followed by the corresponding point value, is shown in Appendix C. Tabulations of levels of work for occupations in the survey follow the federal government’s white-collar General Schedule. Point values for each of the 15 levels are as follows: A complete list of all individual occupations, classified by the MOG to which they belong, is contained in Appendix B. In step three, certain other job characteristics of the chosen worker were identified. First, the worker was identified as holding either a full-time or part-time job, based on the establishment’s definition of those terms. Then the worker was classified as having a time versus incentive job, depending on whether any part of pay was directly based on the actual production of the workers, rather than solely on hours worked. Finally, the worker was identified as being in a union job if: 1) a labor organization was recognized as the bargaining agent for all workers in the occupation; 2) wage and salary rates were de- Level 30 Range of Generic Level Points Low 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 190 255 455 655 855 1105 1355 1605 1855 2105 2355 2755 3155 3605 4055 and up The following forms of payments were not considered part of straight-time earnings: High • 254 454 654 854 1104 1354 1604 1854 2104 2354 2754 3154 3604 4054 • • • • • To calculate earnings per hour worked, data on work schedules were also collected. For hourly workers, scheduled hours worked per week were recorded. Because salaried workers often work beyond the assigned work schedule, their typical number of hours actually worked was collected. Wage data collected using the new generic leveling method were evaluated by BLS researchers using regression techniques. For each of the major occupational groups, wages were compared to the 10 generic level factors (and levels within those factors). The analysis showed that several of the generic level factors, most notably knowledge and supervisory controls, had strong explanatory power for wages. That is, as the levels within a given factor increased, the wages also increased. Detailed research continues in this area. The results of this research will be published by BLS in the future. Definition of terms Full-time worker. Any employee that the employer considers to be full time. Incentive worker. Any employee whose earnings are tied, at least in part, to commissions, piece rates, production bonuses, or other incentives based on production or sales. Reference period The survey was collected between February 5th and March 29th, 1996. For each establishment in the survey, the data reflect the establishment’s practices on the day of collection. Level. A ranking of an occupation, based on the requirements of the position. (See the description in the technical note and the example for more details on the leveling process.) Earnings Earnings were defined as regular payments from the employer to the employee as compensation for straighttime hourly work, or for any salaried work performed. The following components were included as part of earnings: • • • • • • Shift differentials, defined as extra payment for working a schedule that varies from the norm, such as night or weekend work, Premium pay for overtime, holidays, and weekends, Bonuses not directly tied to production (e.g., Christmas bonuses, profit-sharing bonuses), Uniform and tool allowances, Free room and board, and Payments made by third parties (e.g., bonuses given by manufacturers to department store salespeople, referral incentives in real estate). Nonunion worker. An employee in an occupation not meeting the conditions for union coverage (see below). Part-time worker. Any employee that the employer considers to be part-time. Straight-time. Time worked when the employee is getting the standard rate of pay for the job. Incentive pay, including commissions, production bonuses, and piece rates, Cost-of-living allowances, Hazard pay, Payments of income deferred due to participation in a salary reduction plan, Deadhead pay, defined as pay given to transportation workers returning in a vehicle without freight or passengers, and On-call pay. Time-based worker. Any employee whose earnings are tied to an hourly rate or salary, and not to a specific level of production. Union worker. Any employee is in a union occupation when all of the following conditions are met: • 31 A labor organization is recognized as the bargaining agent for all workers in the occupation. • • ments to obtain the data series contained in the tables in the bulletin. Not all series that were calculated met the criteria for publication. Before any series was published, it was reviewed to make sure that the number of observations underlying it were sufficient. This review prevented publishing a series that could have revealed information about a specific establishment. Wage and salary rates are determined through collective bargaining or negotiations. Settlement terms, which must include earnings provisions and may include benefit provisions, are embodied in a signed mutually binding collective bargaining agreement. Processing and Analyzing the Data Once the data were collected, they were processed and analyzed at the Bureau’s National office. Data reliability The data in this bulletin are estimates from a scientifically selected probability sample. There are two types of errors possible in an estimate based on a sample survey, sampling and nonsampling. Sampling errors occur because observations come only from a sample and not from an entire population. The sample used for this survey is one of a number of all possible samples of the same size that could have been selected using the sample design. Estimates derived from the different samples would differ from each other. A measure of the variation among these differing estimates is called the standard error or sampling error. It indicates the precision with which an estimate from a particular sample approximates the average result of all possible samples. The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error divided by the estimate. Appendix Table 2 contains RSE data for selected series in this bulletin. The standard error can be used to calculate a “confidence interval” around a sample estimate. For example, table 2 shows that mean hourly earnings for all workers was $12.84. Appendix Table 2 shows a standard error of 2.8 percent for this estimate. Thus, at the 95percent level, the confidence interval for this estimate is $12.12 to $13.56 ($12.84 plus and minus 2 times 2.8 percent). If all possible samples were selected to estimate the population value, the interval from each sample would include the true population value approximately 95 percent of the time. Nonsampling errors also affect survey results. They can stem from many sources, such as inability to obtain information for some establishments, difficulties with survey definitions, inability of the respondents to provide correct information, or mistakes in recording or coding the data obtained. A Technical Reinterview Program tested in Albuquerque will be used in the development of a formal quality assessment process to help compute nonsampling error. Although they were not specifically measured, the nonsampling errors were expected to be minimal due to the high response rate, the extensive training of the field economists who gathered the survey data by personal visit, computer edits of the data, and detailed data review. Weighting and nonresponse Sample weights were calculated for each establishment/occupation in the survey. These weights reflected the relative size of the occupation within the establishment and of the establishment within the sample universe. Weights were used to aggregate the individual establishment/occupations into the various data series. Of the establishments surveyed, 9.7 percent refused to supply information. If data were not provided by a sample member, the weights of responding sample members in the same or similar “cells” were adjusted to account for the missing data.2 This technique assumes that the mean value of the nonrespondents equals the mean value of the respondents at some detailed “cell” level. Responding and nonresponding establishments were classified into these cells according to industry and employment size. Responding and nonresponding occupations within responding establishments were classified into cells which were additionally defined by major occupation group and job level. Establishments which were determined to be out of business or outside the scope of the survey (3.7 percent of the total sample) had their weights changed to zero. If only partial data were given by a sample establishment or occupation, or data were missing, the response was not used. Estimation Weights, adjusted for nonresponse, were multiplied by the wage rate of each establishment/occupation, which itself was the average wage of all workers in the occupation. The resulting products were aggregated and then divided by the sum of the weighted occupational employ2 Due to insufficient data, weights for nonresponding occupations in the following major occupational group/work level categories could not be fully adjusted: Technical occupations level 7, executive, administrative, and managerial occupations level 5; and transportation and material moving occupations level 4. Because of this, worker counts for these categories may be slightly underestimated. 32 Table A1.

(450) Guidelines covers the nature of guidelines and the judgment needed to apply them. 1. Guidelines are specific and detailed, employee is expected to strictly adhere to them. (25) Scope and effect covers the nature of the work and the effect the work produces within and outside the organization. 2. Established procedures have been selected, with a number of specific guidelines available, employee uses judgment in selecting most appropriate guideline, or refers to the supervisor where guidelines do not exist. (125) 1. Performs specific routine operations that have little effect beyond the immediate organization. (25) 2. Performs specific procedures comprising a complete segment of an assignment that affects further processes. (75) 3. Guidelines are available but not always applicable, employee uses judgment in interpreting and adapting guidelines. Employee analyzes results and recommends changes. (275) 44 3. Resolves a variety of conventional problems following established criteria that affect the operation of the program. (150) 2. Plan, coordinate, or advise on work efforts, or to resolve operating problems by influencing or motivating individuals or groups who are working toward mutual goals and who have cooperative attitudes. (50) 4. Establishes criteria, formulates projects, and analyzes a variety of unusual conditions that affects a wide range of establishment activities or the operation of other establishments. (225) 3. Influence, motivate, interrogate, or control persons or groups. The persons contacted may be fearful, skeptical, uncooperative, or dangerous. Therefore, the employee must be skillful in approaching the individual or group in order to obtain the desired effect. (120) 5. Defines unknown conditions, resolves critical problems, or develops new theories that affect the works of other experts or the development of major program aspects. (325) 4. Justify, defend, negotiate, or settle matters involving significant or controversial issues.

(220) 6. Plans, develops, and carries out vital administrative or scientific programs that are essential to the mission of the establishment. (450) Personal contacts covers contacts with persons not in the supervisory chain. Levels are based on what is required to make the initial contact, the difficulty of communicating with those contacted, and the setting in which the contacts take place. Physical demands covers the physical characteristics and abilities placed on the employee by the work assignment. 1. Contacts are with employees within the immediate organization, and/or with the general public in highly structured situations. (10) 1. The work is sedentary. (5) 2.

(50) 45 Appendix D. Generic Leveling: An Example Complexity Each procedure performed leads to the next, for example, examining gums, scraping plaque, then cleaning teeth. Once an occupation has been selected using probability selection techniques, the level of work is determined using a generic leveling process. The 10 factors listed in Appendix C are used to arrive at a generic level. Below is an example of a generic leveling evaluation of a “Dental Hygienist” position in a dental clinic. Total points for the job were 1020, which classifies the job at level 5. Level 2 - 75 points. Scope and effect In terms of process, the dentist’s work follows the hygienist’s. In terms of effect, the hygienist could give a harmful x-ray or miss plaque on the teeth. Knowledge Hygienist must have a dental hygienist license which requires 2 years of schooling and passage of a technical exam. This is a mid-level hygienist job, which means a worker must have at least 3 years of experience. The procedures are essentially the same every day, such as cleaning teeth, checking gums, and giving x-rays. Level 2 - 75 points. Personal contacts Patients come to the clinic or occasionally the hygienist will travel to perform work or give a talk at a school. Level 4 - 550 points. Level 2 - 25 points. Supervisory duties A dental hygienist at this level does not supervise anyone. Purpose of contacts Most of hygienist’s interaction is with patients; no planning or coordination work is involved. Level 1 - 0 points. Supervisory controls Most of the tasks are performed without supervision. For more complicated procedures, such as tooth filling, the dental hygienist assists the dentist. Level 1 - 20 points. Physical demands The work is sedentary. Level 2 - 125 points. Level 1 - 5 points. Guidelines An hygienist knows which procedure to use for different dental problems. Unusual situations are handled after checking with the supervisor. Work environment Hygienist must take precautions not to be exposed to xrays, punctures, etc. Level 2 - 125 points. Level 2 - 20 points. 46
