Position Evaluation:
A. Title. Occupational Code and Grade:
Fabrication Supervisor, WS-3401-10
B. References:
1. USOPM JGS for Federal Wage Systems Supervisors, Dec 92.
2. USOPM JGS for Definitions of Trades and Labor Job Families and
Occupations, Mar 90.
C. Background: This description reflects the 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 a second shift for several subordinate shops with employees
in the following occupations: Machinist, WG-3414 1 Sheet Metal Mechanic,
WG-3806; Nondestructive Tester, WG-3705; and Fabric Worker, WG-3105. No
single occupation predominates for recruitment, selection, placement, and
other personnel purposes. Therefore the 01 code of the 3400 Machine Tool Work
Family was selected as the appropriate code.
2. Title: Since no one of job titles of the occupations supervised represents
the organizational segment supervised, a constructed title of Fabrication
Supervisor was assigned.
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 weekly basis; explains work
requirements; recommends individuals for vacancies, promotions or
reassignments; counsels employees and adjusts informal complaints and
grievances with workers and union representatives; and maintains production
reports and establishes performance standards. This meets Situation #2 of the
standard.
b. Level of Work Supervised: The occupation and highest level of
nonsupervisory work which best reflects the primary purpose of the
organization supervised is a constructed WG-3401-10.
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-2 in that
the supervisor has first or second level supervisory and decision authority
over an organizational segment which typically has been established on the
basis of being a distinct work function, maintains a balanced workload and
makes necessary adjustments, makes decisions involving work or assignments
and how they will be completed. This equates to 45 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-4, as the incumbent directs
the work of subordinates in two or more dissimilar or unrelated functions
within the organizational segment,with a base level of work at grades 8-13.
This equates to 60 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 105 points which falls within Level B.
d. Based on the Grading Table for Situation 2, 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-10.
E. Conclusion: Based on the above evaluation, this position is classified as
Fabrication Supervisor, WS-3401-10.
