Appendix. Occupational Descriptions

The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classify ing into appropriate occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishment to establishment and from area to a re a . This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working superv isors; apprentices; learn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.

AND TECHNICAL

COMPUTER PROGRAMER, BUSINESS

Converts statements of business problem s, typically prepared by a system s analyst, into a sequence of detailed instructions which are required to solve the problem s by automatic data processing equipment. Working from charts or d iagram s, the program er develops the precise instructions which, when entered into the computer system in coded language, cause the manipulation of data to achieve desired resu lts. Work involves most of the following: Applies knowledge of computer capabilities, m athem atics, logic employed by com puters, and particu lar subject m atter involved to analyze charts and d iagram s of the problem to be program ed. Develops sequence of program steps, w rites detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be processed ; converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; te sts and co rrects program s; prepares instructions for operating personnel during production run; analyzes, review s, and a lters program s to in crease operating efficiency or adapt to new requirem ents; maintains records of program development and revision s. (NOTE: W orkers perform ing both system s analysis and programing should be c la ssified as system s analysts if this is the sk ill used to determine their pay.)

Does not include employees prim arily responsible for the management or supervision of other electronic data processing (EDP) employees, or program ers prim arily concerned with scientific and/or engineering problem s.

For wage study purposes, program ers are c lassified as follows:

C la ss A. Works independently or under only general direction on complex problem s which require competence in all phases of program ing concepts and practices. Working from diagram s and charts which identify the nature of desired resu lts, m ajor processing steps to be accom plished, and the relationships between various steps of the problem solving routine; plans the full range of program ing actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system in achieving desired end products.

At this level, program ing 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 m ust occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations which can be reused, establishm ent of linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program requirem ents 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 p rogram ers who are assigned to a ss is t .

COMPUTER PROGRAMER, BUSINESS— Continued

C lass B . Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple program s, or on simple segm ents of complex program s. P rogram s (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or form ats. 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 , che 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 record-keeping type operations.

(NOTE: W orkers perform ing both system s analysis and program ing should be c la s sified as system s analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)

Does not include employees prim arily responsible for the management or supervision of other electronic data processing (EDP) employees, or system s analysts prim arily concerned with scientific or engineering problem s.

For wage study purposes, system s analysts are c lassified as follows:

C lass A. Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems involving all phases of system s analysis. Problem s are complex because of diverse sources of input data and m ultiple-use requirem ents of output data. (For example, develops an integrated production scheduling, inventory control, cost analysis, and sa le s analysis record in which every item of each type is autom atically processed through the full system of records and appropriate followup actions are initiated by the computer.)
