Position Evaluation:
A. Title, Occupational Code and Grade:
Aircraft Mechanic Supervisor, WS-8852-09.
B. References:
1. USOPM JGS for Federal Wage Systems Supervisors, Dec 92.
2. USOPM JGS for Aircraft Mechanic, WG-8852, Feb 69.
C. Background: This position description reflects implementation of the
revised JGS for FWS Supervisors, Dec 92.
D. Occupational Code, Title and Grade Determination:
1. Occupational Code: The primary purpose of this position is to serve as a
supervisor over work classified to the WG-8852 code. The occupational code of
a supervisory job is the same as the code for the kind of work supervised.
2. Title: FWS supervisory jobs are identified by the job title of the
occupation supervised followed by the title of “Supervisor.” Therefore, the
correct title for this position is Aircraft Mechanic Supervisor.
3. Grade: There are three factors used in determining the grade of FWS
supervisory positions:
a. Nature of Supervisory Responsibility: The incumbent of this position
plans and distributes work to subordinates on a daily or project-by-project
basis; explains work requirements; makes
recommendations concerning training plans, new or revised performance
standards, performance
evaluations, and disciplinary actions. Receives grievances and/or
complaints, and, after seeking to
resolve them informally, brings those of sufficient importance or
seriousness to the attention of their superiors. Maintains production
reports and establishes performance standards. This meets Situation #1 of
the standard.
b. Level of Work Supervised: The occupation and highest level of
nonsupervisory work which best
reflects the overall purpose of the organization supervised is WG-8852-10.
c. Scope of Work Operations Supervised: This factor is divided into three
subfactors, which are
subdivided into levels with points assigned to each level. The total points
are given a letter code
(e.g., A, B, C) which is then used on the Grading Table (Factor III) along
with the level of work
supervised (Factor II) to determine the grade of the supervisor.
(1) Subfactor A - Scope of Assigned Work Function and Organizational
Authority: This measures
the scope of the assigned work function or mission, i.e., the purpose for
establishing the job in
the organization, extent and nature of the job’s authority in relation to
the organizational
assignment, and importance of the job’s decisions. This position meets
level A-1 in that the
supervisor has first level supervisory and decision authority over a single
organizational
segment. Decisions made by the incumbent are clearly defined or virtually
automatic since
higher level management has already established a course of action and a
methodology for
implementation. This equates to 30 points.
(2) Subfactor B - Variety of Functions: This measures the difficulties of
supervising work functions which may vary from being essentially similar to
markedly different. This position meets level B-3, as the incumbent directs
the work of subordinates in one or more similar or related
functions within the organizational segment, with a base level of work at
grades 8-13. This
equates to 50 points.
(3) Subfactor C - Geographic Dispersion: This measures the difficulties
associated with supervising
personnel who vary from collocated to widely dispersed. In the normal
National Guard work
situation subordinates are located in the same contiguous work area with
the supervisor,
therefore, no points are given for this factor.
(4) The total point conversion equals 80 points which falls within Level B.
d. Based on the Grading Table for Situation #1, with the scope of work
operations supervised (Factor III) at level B and the level of work
supervised (Factor II) at WG-10, the supervisory grade is WS-09.
E. Conclusion: Based on the above evaluation, this position is classified
as Aircraft Mechanic Supervisor, WS-8852-09.
