Office Specialist II:

The journey level class, which may be filled by advancement from the lower class of Office Specialist I, or when filled from the outside, requires prior clerical experience and advanced skills. This level works under general supervision and, within a framework of established procedures, is expected to perform a wide variety of general clerical duties with only occasional instruction or assistance. Incumbents require a general knowledge of departmental procedures and precedents, and the ability to choose among alternatives in solving problems. Employees in this class often have contact with the public, answering a variety of questions requiring knowledge of related departmental policies and procedures. Work is normally reviewed only on completion and for overall results. Depending upon assignment, may provide instruction or assistance to lower level staff in the absence of the immediate supervisor or manager, or as requested.

Senior Office Specialist:

The specialized class requiring in-depth knowledge of a skill level, e.g., word processing, spreadsheet program; or knowledge of a technical area; or broader scope of clerical/secretarial responsibilities, e.g., entry-level secretarial in a small or limited program area. Generally, this level requires more formal training or a longer period of exposure to department operations in order to learn the more technical or detailed procedures. Incumbents work independently under broad guidelines and are expected to handle a wide variety of situations with review of overall results. Depending upon assignment may provide instruction or assistance to lower level staff in a lead capacity.

Secretary:

The experienced journey-level class performing a wide variety of tasks, duties and responsibilities at an advanced technical skill level. Assignments may vary from general support of several staff to specialized support in a technical area. Employees are expected to perform independently under general supervision and are reviewed for end result or product.

Administrative Secretary:

The senior or executive level class. Employees at this level are distinguished by the scope and magnitude of job responsibilities, discretion in decision-making and accountability expected. The work requires in-depth knowledge of activities or operations in order to analyze and interpret information and make decisions based on non-standard or diverse guidelines rather than those readily established. Only purpose and objectives are defined with supervisory review on final results or compliance to objectives. Typical administrative assignments may include a combination or majority of the following duties: input and monitoring of budgets; payroll/personnel processing; handling confidential/sensitive information; supervising others; composing correspondence or researching and drafting information for correspondence or reports; and interacting with high level or critical contacts in providing information.To perform a job in these classifications, an individual must be able to perform the essential duties as generally described in the specification.
