Preface

This bulletin provides results of an October 197 8 survey of occupa­tional earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Dallas—Fort Worth, Texas, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program. It was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Dallas, Tex., under the general direction of Boyd B. O 'Neal, Assistant Regional Commissioner for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many firms whose wage and salary data provided the basis for the statistical information in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express sincere appreciation for the cooperation received.

Introduction

This area is 1 of 75 in which the U.S. Department of Labor 's Bu­reau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and re ­lated benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data (A -se r ie s tables) are collected annually. Infor­mation on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B - series tables) is obtained every third year.

Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been com­pleted, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and r e ­gional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor markets, through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program develops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and a s ­sistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965.

A -se r ie s tables

Tables A - l through A -6 provide estimates of straight-time weekly or hourly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. For the 31 largest survey areas, tables A -8 through A-13 provide similar data for establishments employing 500 workers or more.

Table A-7 provides percent changes in average hourly earnings of office clerical workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance trades workers , and unskilled plant workers. Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled main­tenance workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers em ­ployed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too small to warrant separate presentation. This table provides a measure of wage trends after elimination of changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. For further details, see appendix A.

Footnotes

Some of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.

1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at reg ­ular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.

2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median desig­nates position-— half of the workers receive the same or more and half r e ­ceive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn the same or less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn the same or more than the higher rate.

3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was provided by the establishment.

4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.

Estimates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men only for skilled maintenance and unskilled plant workers. All other estimates re ­late to men and women.

6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available.7 Formally established minimum regular straight-time hiring sa l­

aries that are paid for standard workweeks.8 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as messenger.9 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for

the most common standard workweeks reported.10 Includes all production and related workers in establishments

currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose formal provisions cover late shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts.

11 Less than 0.05 percent.12 Less than 0.5 percent.13 All combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount;

for example, the proportion of workers receiving a total of 10 days includes those with 10 full days and no half days, 9 full days and 2 half days, 8 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then were cumulated.

14 Includes payments other than "length of t im e," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; for example, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week's pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between 5 and 10 years. Estimates are cumula­tive. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after 10 years includes those eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after fewer years of service.

15 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. "Noncontributory plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as w orkers ' disability compensation, social se ­curity, and railroad retirement.

16 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that each employee can expect. Informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

17 Estimates under "A ll plans" relate to all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. Estimates under "Noncontrib­utory plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer.

18 For "A ll industries," all full-time production and related workers or office workers equal 100 percent. For "Manufacturing," all full-time production and related workers or office workers in manufacturing equal 100 pe rcent.

19 The mean amount is computed by multiplying the number of workers provided insurance by the amount of insurance provided, totaling the prod ­ucts, and dividing the sum by the number of workers . The median indicates that half of the workers are provided an amount equal to or sm aller and half an amount equal to or larger than the amount shown. Middle range (50 p e r ­cent)— a fourth of the workers are provided an amount equal to or less than the smaller amount and a fourth are provided an amount equal to or more than the larger amount. Middle range (80 percent)— 10 percent of the w ork ­ers are provided an amount equal to or less than the sm aller amount and 10 percent are provided an amount equal to or more than the large r amount.

20 A factor of annual earnings is the number by which annual earnings are multiplied to determine the amount of insurance provided. For example, a factor of 2 indicates that for annual earnings of $ 10,000 the amount of insurance provided is $ 20,000.

Appendix A.Scope and Method of Survey

In each of the 75 1 areas currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and related benefits data from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication,and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Government operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are also excluded because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number of establishments and workers estimated to be within the scope of this survey, as well as the number actually studied.

Bureau field representatives obtain data by personal visits at 3-year intervals. In each of the two intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.

A sample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected for study prior to each personal visit survey. This sample, less establishments which go out of business or are no longer within the industrial scope of the survey, is retained for the following two annual surveys. In most cases, establishments new to the area are not considered in the scope of the survey until the selection of a sample for a personal visit survey.

The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of employees. F rom this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than small establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection so that unbiased estimates are generated. Fo r example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classification if data are not available from the original sample member. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample member that is similar to the missing unit.

1 Included in the 75 areas are 5 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron, Ohio; B irm ingham , A la . ; N o r fo lk —V irg in ia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, V a .—N .C .; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N .Y . ; and U tica— Rom e, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approx im ate ly 100 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Adm in istration of the U. S. D epartm ent o f Labor.

Occupations and earnings

Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufac­turing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1)Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom, and powerplant; and (4) material movement and custodial. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B.

Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described, or for some industry divisions within the scope of the survey, are not presented in the A -se r ie s tables because either (1) employ­ment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presen­tation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate men's and women's earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data for all industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with more than one level, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification is not shown or information to subclassify is not available.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers , i.e., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar. Vertical lines within the distribution of workers on some A-tables indicate a change in the size of the class inte rva ls .

These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firms may change, or high-wage workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment oould decrease an occupational average even though most establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.

Page 38: bls_2025-52_1979.pdf

Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments.

Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to differences include progression within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are collected) and performance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are more generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties performed.

Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all estab­lishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not affect materially the accuracy of the earnings data.

Wage trends for selected occupational groups

The percent increases presented in table A -7 are based on changes in average hourly earnings of men and women in establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (matched establishments). The data are adjusted to remove the effect on average earnings of employ­ment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors other than wage increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover may affect an establishment average for an occupation when workers are paid under plans providing a range of wage rates for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, new employees may enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.

The percent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the time span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual rates are shown. (It is assumed that wages increase at a constant rate between surveys.)

areas in the program are computed

1. Average earnings are computed for each occupation for the 2 years being compared. The averages are derived from earnings in those establishments which are in the survey both years; it is assumed that employment remains unchanged.

2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in the occupational group in the base year.

3. These weights are used to compute group averages.Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1) is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average.

4. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average for the current year by the average for the ea r l ie r year. The result— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change.

For a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see "Improving A rea Wage Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 52-57.

Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions

The incidence of selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions is studied for full-time production and related workers and office workers. Production and related workers (re ferred to hereafter as production workers) include working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, pack­ing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard s e r ­vices, product development, auxiliary production for plant's o w n use (e.g., powerplant), and recordkeeping and other services closely assoc i­ated with the above production operations. (Cafeteria and route workers

are excluded in manufacturing industries but included in nonmanufacturing industries.) In finance and insurance, no workers are considered to be production workers. Office workers include working supervisors and all non- supervisory workers (including lead workers and trainees) performing clerical or related office functions in such departments as accounting, advertising, purchasing, collection, credit, finance, legal, payroll, personnel, sales, industrial relations, public relations, executive, or transportation. Administrative, executive, professional, and part-time employees as well as construction workers utilized as separate work forces are excluded from both the production and office worker categories.

Minimum entrance salaries (table B - l ) . Minimum entrance salaries for office workers relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques used and the probability that large establish­ments are more likely than small establishments to have formal entrance rates above the subclerical level, the table is more representative of policies in medium and large establishments. (The "X 's " shown under standard weekly hours indicate that no meaningful totals are applicable.)

Shift differentials--- manufacturing (table B -2 ) . Data were collectedon policies of manufacturing establishments regarding pay differentials for production workers on late shifts. Establishments considered as having policies are those which (1) have provisions in writing covering the operation of late shifts, or (2) have operated late shifts at any time during the 12 months preceding a survey. When establishments have several differentials which vary by job, the differential applying to the majority of the production workers is recorded. When establishments have differentials which apply only to certain hours of work, the differential applying to the majority of the shift hours is recorded.

For purposes of this study, a late shift is either a second (evening) shift which ends at or near midnight or a third (night) shift which starts at or near midnight.

Differentials for second and third shifts are summarized separately for (1) establishment policies (an establishment's differentials are weighted by all production workers in the establishment at the time of the survey) and (2) effective practices (an establishment's differentials are weighted by production workers employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey).

Scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension p lans. Provisions which apply to a majority of the production or office workers in an establishment are considered to apply to all production or office workers in the establishment; a practice or provision is considered nonexistent when it applies to less than a majority. Holidays; vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are considered applicable to employees currently eligible for the benefits as well as to employees who will eventually become eligible.

Scheduled weekly hours and days (table B -3 ) . Scheduled weekly hours and days refer to the number of hours and days per week which full­time first (day) shift workers are expected to work, whether paid for at straight-time or overtime rates.

Paid holidays (table B -4 ) . Holidays are included if workers who are not required to work are paid for the time off and those required to work receive premium pay or compensatory time off. They are included only if they are granted annually on a formal basis (provided for in

written form or established by custom). Holidays are included even though in a particular year they fall on a nonworkday and employees are not granted another day off. Paid personal holiday plans, typically found in the automobile and related industries, are included as paid holidays.

Data are tabulated to show the percent of workers who (1) are granted specific numbers of whole and half holidays and (2) are granted specified amounts of total holiday time (whole and half holidays are aggregated).

Paid vacations (table B -5 ) . Establishments report their method of calculating vacation pay (time basis, percent of annual earnings, flat-sum payment, etc.) and the amount of vacation pay granted. Only basic formal plans are reported. Vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans are excluded.

For tabulating vacation pay granted, all provisions are expressed on a time basis. Vacation pay calculated on other than a time basis is converted to its equivalent time period. Two percent of annual earnings, for example, is tabulated as 1 week's vacation pay.

Also, provisions after each specified length of service are related to all production or office workers in an establishment regardless of length of service. Vacation plans commonly provide for a larger amount of vacation pay as service lengthens. Counts of production or office workers by length of service were not obtained. The tabulations of vacation pay granted present, therefore, statistical measures of these provisions rather than proportions of workers actually receiving specific benefits.

Health, insurance, and pension plans (tables B -6 and B -7 ) . Health, insurance, and pension plans include plans for which the employer pays either all or part of the cost. The cost may be (1) underwritten by a commercial insurance company or nonprofit organization, (2) covered by a union fund to which the employer has contributed, or (3) borne directly by the employer out of operating funds or a fund set aside to cover the cost. A plan is included even though a majority of the employees in an establish­ment do not choose to participate in it because they are required to bear part of its cost (provided the choice to participate is available or will eventually become available to a majority). Legally required plans such as social security, railroad retirement, workers ' disability compensation, and temporary disability insurance 3 are excluded.

Life insurance includes formal plans providing indemnity (usually through an insurance policy) in case of death of the covered worker. Information is also provided in table B -7 on types of life insurance plans and the amount of coverage ip all industries combined and in manufacturing.

Accidental death and dismemberment insurance is limited to plans which provide benefit payments in case of death or loss of limb or sight as a direct result of an accident.

Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which provide that predetermined cash payments be made directly to employees who lose time from work because of illness or injury, e.g., $ 50 a week for up to 26 weeks of disability.

Sick leave plans are limited to formal p lans4 which provide for continuing an employee's pay during absence from work because of illness. Data collected distinguish between (1) plans which provide full pay with no waiting period, and (2) plans which either provide partial pay or require a waiting period.

Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sick­ness and accident insurance, or after a predetermined period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end of the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or partial pay­ments are almost always reduced by social security, workers ' disability compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee.

Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance plans reported in these surveys provide full or partial payment for basic services rendered. Hospitalization insurance covers hospital room and board and may cover other hospital expenses. Surgical insurance covers surgeons' fees. Medical insurance covers doctors' fees for home, office, or hospital calls. Plans restricted to post-operative medical care or a doctor's care for minor ailments at a worker 's place of employment are not considered to be medical insurance.

M ajor medical insurance coverage applies to services which go beyond the basic services covered under hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance. Major medical insurance typically (1) requires that a "deductible" (e.g., $50) be met before benefits begin, (2) has a coinsurance feature that requires the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20 percent) of certain expenses, and (3) has a specified dollar maximum of benefits (e.g., $ 10, 000 a year).

Dental insurance plans provide normal dental service benefits, usually for fillings, extractions, and X -ray s . Plans which provide benefits only for oral surgery or repairing accident damage are not reported.

Retirement pension plans provide for regular payments to the retiree for life. Included are deferred profit-sharing plans which provide the option of purchasing a lifetime annuity.

4 A n establishment is considered as having a form al plan if it specifies at least the m inimum number o f days o f sick le a v e ava ilab le to each em p loyee . Such a plan need not be w ritten , but in form al sick leave allowances determ ined on an individual basis are excluded.

Labor-management agreement coverage

The following tabulation shows the percent of full-time production and office workers employed in establishments in the Dallas—Fort Worth area in which a union contract or contracts covered a majority of the workers in the respective categories, October 197 8:

Production andrelated workers Office workers

A l l industries____________ 35 6Manufacturing_________ 47 10Nonmanufacturing____ 24 4

Public utilities____ 83 34

An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all production or office workers if a majority of such workers is covered by a labor-management agreement. Therefore, all other production or office workers are employed in establishments that either do not have labo r - management contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than half of their production or office workers. Estimates are not necessarily representative of the extent to which all workers in the area may be covered by the provisions of labor-management agreements, because small estab­lishments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited.

Industrial composition in manufacturing

Almost two-fifths of the workers within the scope of the survey in the Dallas—Fort Worth area were employed in manufacturing firms. The following presents the major industry groups and specific industries as apercent of all manufacturing:

Industry groups

Electric and electronicequipment_____________________ 21

Transportation equipment____ 20Machinery, except

Appendix B.OccupationalDescriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying intoappropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety ofpayroll 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 comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ sig ­nificantly from those in use in individual establishments or those p re ­pared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working super­visors; apprentices; and part-time, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. Learners , beginners, and trainees, unless specifically included in the job description, are excluded.

OfficeSECRETARY

Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Maintains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activ­ities of the supervisor. Works fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance. Pe rfo rm s varied clerical and secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office routine and understanding of the organization, program s, and procedures related to the work of the supervisor.

Exclusions

Not all positions that are titled "secre tary" possess the above characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows:

SECRET ARY— Continued

Exclusions— Continued

a. Positions which do not meet the "personal" secretary concept described above;

b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties;

c. Stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of p ro ­fessional, technical, or managerial persons;

d. Assistant-type positions which entail more difficult or more r e ­sponsible technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typical'of secretarial work, e.g., Administrative A ss is t ­ant, or Executive Assistant;

Listed below are several occupations for which revised descriptions or titles are being introduced in this survey:

O rder clerkPayroll clerkSecretaryKey entry operatorTranscribing-machine typistComputer operator

GuardShipper and receiver (previously surveyed

as shipping and receiving clerk)

T ruckdriver

The Bureau has discontinued collecting data for tabulating-machine operator. W orkers previously classified as watchmen are now classified as guards under the revised description.

Exclusions— 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;

f. Trainees.

Classification by Level

Secretary jobs which meet the above characteristics are matched at one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary 's supervisor within the company’s organizational structure and, (b) the level of the secretary ’s responsibility. The chart following the explanations of these two factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of the factors .

_Level of Secretary 's Supervisor (LS)

Secretaries should be matched at one of the four LS levels described below according to the level of the secretary's supervisor within the company organizational structure.

LS—1

LS—2

LS—3

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, professionalemployee, 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.)

a. Secretary to an executive or managerial person whose respon­sibility is not equivalent to one of the specific level situations in the definition for LS—3, but whose organizational unit normally numbers at least several dozen employees and is usually divided into organizational segments which are often, in turn, further subdivided. In some companies, this level includes a wide range of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; or

b. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, fewer than 5,000 persons.

a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that employs, in all, fewer than 100 persons; or

b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than chairman of the board or president) of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5, 000 persons; or

c. Secretary to the head (immediately below the officer level) over either a m ajor corporatewide functional activity (e.g., marketing, research, operations, industrial relations, etc.) or a major geographic or organizational segment (e.g., a regional headquar­ters; a m ajor division) of a company that employs, in all, over 5, 000 but fewer than 25, 000 employees; or

d. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons; or

SEC RET A R Y — Continued

Classification by Level— Continued

e. Secretary to the head of a large and important organizational segment (e.g., a middle management supervisor of an organi­zational segment often involving as many as several hundred persons) of a company that employs, in all, over 25,000 persons.

LS—4 a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a companythat employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000 per sons; or

b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of the board or president) of a company that employs, in all, over 5, 000 but fewer than 25, 000 persons; or

c. Secretary to the head, immediately below the corporate officer level, of a major segment or subsidiary of a company that employs, in all, over 25, 000 persons.

N O T E : The term "corporate officer" used in the above LS def­inition refers to those officials who have a significant corporatewide policy­making 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; di­rectly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate officers" for purposes of applying the definition.

Level of Secretary's Responsibility (LR )

This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and the supervisor, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at LR—1 or LR—2 described below according to their level of responsibility.

Level of Pesponsibility 1 (LR—1)

Perform s varied secretarial duties including or comparable to most of the following:

a. Answers telephones, greets personal callers, and opens in­coming mail.

b. Answers telephone requests which have standard answers. May reply to requests by sending a form letter.

c. Reviews correspondence, memoranda, and reports prepared by others for the supervisor 's signature to ensure procedural and typographical accuracy.

d. Maintains supervisor 's calendar and makes appointments as instructed.

e. Types, takes and transcribes dictation, and files.

Page 44: bls_2025-52_1979.pdf

SEC RET A R Y — Continued

Level of Responsibility 2 (LR—2)

Perform s 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:

a. Screens telephone and personal callers, determining which can be handled by the supervisor 's subordinates or other offices.

b. Answers requests which require a detailed knowledge of o f­fice procedures or collection of information from files or other offices. May sign routine correspondence in own or supervisor 's name.

c. Compiles or assists in compiling periodic reports on the basis of general instructions.

d. Schedules tentative appointments without prior clearance. A s ­sembles necessary background material for scheduled meetings. Makes arrangements for meetings and conferences.

e. Explains supervisor 's requirements to other employees in super­v isor 's unit. (Also types, takes dictation, and files.)

The following tabulation shows the level of the secretary for each LS and LR combination:

C O M P U T E R SYSTEM S A N A L Y S T , BUSINESS— Continued

Does not include employees primarily responsible for the man­agement or supervision of other electronic data processing employees, or systems analysts p rim arily concerned with scientific or engineering problems.

For wage study purposes, systems analysts are classified as follows:

Class A . 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 production 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 followup actions are initiated by the computer.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises 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 obtaining equipment.

May provide functional direction to lower level systems analysts who are assigned to assist.

Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on problems that are relatively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program, and operate. Problem s 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 inventory 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 class A. Works independently on routine assign­ments and receives instruction and guidance on complex assignments. Work is reviewed for accuracy of judgment, compliance with instructions, and to insure proper alignment with the overall system.

Class C . Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analyses as assigned, usually of a single activity. Assignments are designed to develop and expand practical 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 program m ers from information developed by the higher level analyst.

C O M PU T E R PR O G R AM M ER , BUSINESS

Converts statements of business problems, typically prepared by a systems analyst, into a sequence of detailed instructions which are r e ­quired to solve the problems by automatic data processing equipment. Working from charts or diagrams, the programmer develops the p re ­cise instructions which, when entered into the computer system in coded

C O M P U T E R P R O G R A M M E R , BUSINESS— Continued

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 computers, and particular sub­ject matter involved to analyze charts and diagrams of the problem to be programmed; 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 requirements; 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 concerned with scientific and/or engineering problem s.

For wage study purposes, programmers are classified as follows:

Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems which require competence in all phases of pro ­gramming concepts and practices. Working from diagrams and charts which identify the nature of desired results, major processing steps to be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the 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 computer 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 operations which can be re ­used, establishment of linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program requirements exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program.

May provide functional direction to lower level programmers who are assigned to assist.

Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple programs, or on simple segments of complex programs. Program s (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or formats. Reports and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor additions to or deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous records may be processed, the data have been refined in prior actions so that the accuracy and sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program deals with routine recordkeeping operations.

OR

Works on complex programs (as described for class A) under close direction of a higher level program m er or supervisor. May assist higher level program m er by independently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing more difficult tasks under fairly close direction.

C O M PUTER O PER ATO R

In accordance with operating instructions, monitors and operates the control console of a digital computer to process data. Executes runs by either seria l 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:

- Studies operating instructions to determine equipment setup needed.

- Loads equipment w i t h required items (tapes, cards, disks, paper, etc.).

- Switches necessary auxilliary equipment into system.

- Starts and operates computer.

- Responds to operating and computer output instructions.

- Reviews e r ro r messages and makes corrections during operation or refers problems.

- 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, fully qualified computer operators, and lead operators providing technical assistance to lower level operators. It excludes workers who monitor and operate remote terminals.

Class A . In addition to work assignments described for a class B operator (see below) the work of a class A operator involves at least one of the following:

- 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.

- Tests new programs, applications, and procedures.

- Advises program m ers and subject-matter experts on s e t u p techniques.

- 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.

C O M P U T E R O P E R A T O R — Continued

Class B . In addition to established production runs, work assign­ments include runs involving new program s, applications, 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 procedures. In responding to computer output instructions or e r ro r 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.

Class C . Work assignments are limited to established production runs (i.e., programs which present few operating problems). Assignments may consist primarily of on-the-job training (sometimes augmented by classroom instruction). When learning to run program s, the supervisor 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 independently in applying standard operating or corrective procedures in responding to computer output instructions or e r ro r conditions, but refers problems to a higher level operator or the supervisor when standard procedures fail.

PE R IP H ER AL EQUIPMENT O PER ATO R

Operates peripheral equipment w h i c h directly supports digital computer operations. Such equipment is uniquely and specifically designed for computer applications, but need not be physically or electronically connected to a computer. Printers, plotters, card read/punches, tape readers, tape units or drives, disk units or drives, and data display units are examples of such equipment.

The following duties characterize the work of a peripheral equipmentoperator:

- Loading printers and plotters with correct paper; adjusting controls for forms, thickness, tension, printing density, and location; and unloading hard copy.

- Labelling tape reels, disks, or card decks.

- Checking labels and mounting and dismounting designated tape reels or disks on specified units or drives.
