This is routine typing and clerical work which follows well established procedures.

Work requires skilled typewriting in addition to clerical work similar to that of the Clerk 1 class. Duties follow well defined procedures and methods. Work may include the operation of other standard office machines for which no previous training is required. Detailed instructions and close supervision are received at the beginning of work and on new assignments, but regular routine tasks are performed more independently and some initiative and judgment are utilized as experience is gained. Employees may make arithmetical or other checks upon work of other employees for accuracy, but do not exercise direct supervision. Work is subject to close supervision and is reviewed by superior on completion both for content and accuracy.
