Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau s wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content the Bureau s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes In applying these job descriptions the Bureau s field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors apprentices learners beginners trainees and handicapped part time temporary and probationary workers OFFICE BILLER MACHINE BILLER MACHINE Continued Prepares statements bills and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or
