Employees in this series perform a variety of office support functions designed to implement, maintain, and execute effective office procedures and workflow. At the lower levels they are often engaged in the production of documents and other duties that support the activities and staff of an office or organization. At the higher levels, however, work may be characterized by the nature and extent of personal contacts and may be performed in direct support of a designated principal(s). A progression of responsibility is evident within the series, ranging from simple, repetitive duties performed under direct supervision to those that are diversified, require the use of discretion and independent judgment, and are performed under administrative direction.
Duties performed may include, but are not limited to, maintaining calendars, scheduling appointments, making arrangements for meetings and travel, gathering and providing information orally and in writing, developing or maintaining documents, transcribing material, performing liaison or coordination functions, processing mail, assisting in fiscal matters, maintaining or coordinating the management of files and records systems, and supervising office support services.
These duties are based on the end result, not on how the work is done, recognizing that advances in technology may have enhanced how the duties are performed.
