DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF THE CLASS Typists perform routine clerical work, involving the operation of equipment requiring the manipulation of a standard alphanumeric keyboard in accordance with standards of acceptable levels of production. The equipments used include Electronic Word Processing Equipment, Personal Computers, Data Terminals, Printers, etc. This position is also characterized by a broad responsibility for non‑typing clerical tasks. Work is routine in nature; however, as incumbents gain experience, additional and more complex duties are added. These additional duties do not reach the difficulty or complexity of work associated with the senior level of this series. Detailed instructions are given for new or difficult assignments with procedures that are definitely fixed; incumbents must exercise independent judgment in applying them to specific cases. Work is reviewed either by observation, periodic or spot checks, cross‑checking by others or by checking the completed work. (This class is equivalent to that of Clerk with the exception that incumbents must have the ability to type at a reasonable rate of speed.) No supervision is exercised over other employees.
