-
Pay Grade: 12
DEFINITION OF WORK
Summary
The custodial work with primary responsibility for serving as a
full time functional leader to a custodial crew. Work includes regular performance of all
the duties of custodial workers in the crew.
Standard Classification Factors
Supervision Received - LEVEL B: "Under general
supervision…" Employees working under general supervision usually receive some
instructions with respect to the details of most assignments but are free to develop their
own work sequences within established procedures, methods and policies. They are often
physically removed from their supervisor and subject to only periodic checks.
Difficulty - LEVEL A: Routine… Where the work is usually
repetitive and the employee works from detailed instructions, the difficulty is usually
limited to accuracy and speed.
Complexity - LEVEL B: Work is of a structured nature including
duties that have several related steps. This level involves simple analysis of data,
identification of easily distinguishable facts and recognition of differences in related
situations. Workers at this level exercise limited independent judgment in determining
methods or procedures to be used in making minor decisions. Work is normally controlled by
frequent review and consultation with supervisors. When guidelines exist at this level,
they are usually specific and aid in determining an approach to problems or situations.
Workers at this level must be able to identify basic differences in situations to
determine the actions which need to be taken.
Consequence of Actions or Decisions - LEVEL B: Consequences of
actions or decisions at this level are minor as the work is normally reviewed regularly
and errors are usually detected in following operations. Errors may be disruptive to
co-workers or may cause minor inefficiency. Costs due to errors are minimal.
Contacts - LEVEL A: The purpose of the contact is to obtain,
clarify, give or screen established factual information, regardless of the type (i.e.,
easily understood or technical) within a well-defined relationship. Normal communication
skills are required.
Physical Demands - LEVEL C: The work requires moderate physical
exertion.
Environmental Conditions - LEVEL A: The work environment involves
normal everyday hazards or discomforts typical of offices, meeting and training rooms, or
libraries. Comfortable levels of temperature, ventilation, lighting and sound are inherent
in the work environment. Exposure to deviations from pleasant environmental conditions is
only occasional. The likelihood of injury is remote.
Supervision/Leadership - LEVEL B: Involves functional leadership
responsibility. As a "senior worker", performing essentially the same or similar
work as those overseen, responsibility includes training, instructing, scheduling and
reviewing. As a "project leader" may be responsible for a phase(s) of a single
project which includes planning, coordinating and reviewing the work of others. This level
may also involve limited administrative responsibility such as participating in the
evaluation of work performance.
