NATURE OF WORK
This classification involves advanced clerical work and moderately complex work methods and problems.
Incumbents in this classification perform varied clerical work requiring the application of independent judgment and clerical knowledge. Work differs from that found in the Administrative Support I class in that these positions require the capacity for considerably more clerical growth, they do more difficult and demanding work and, within a reasonable orientation period, must work with considerably more independence of action and judgment than Administrative Support I. The variety of work differs among positions, but where the work is more repetitive there is an additional responsibility for finality of action. Work may include the operation of standard office equipment for which no previous training is required. Supervision may occasionally be exercised over a small group of employees assisting in routine details. Work is reviewed by a supervisor through observation of operations, periodic audits of work performed, and by advice and assistance on unusual or difficult problems.
