| MAJOR GROUP 1: LEGISLATORS, SENIOR OFFICIALS AND MANAGERS |
| |
Legislators, senior officials and managers determine, formulate, direct or advise on government policies, as well as those of special-interest organisations, formulate laws, public
rules and regulations, represent governments and act on their
behalf, oversee the interpretation and implementation of
government policies and legislation, or plan, direct, and
coordinate the policies and activities of enterprises or
organisations, or their internal departments or sections.
Tasks performed by legislators, senior officials and
managers usually include: determining, formulating or advising
on policies of national, state, regional or local governments;
formulating laws, public rules and regulations; representing
governments and acting on their behalf; overseeing the
interpretation and implementation of government policies and
legislation; performing similar tasks on behalf of political
parties, trade unions, and other special-interest organisations;
planning, directing and coordinating the policies and
activities of enterprises or organisations, or their internal
departments or sections. Supervision of other workers may be
included.
Occupations in this major group are classified into the
following sub-major groups:
11 Legislators and senior officials
12 Corporate managers (This group is intended to include
persons who as directors, chief executives or
department managers - manage enterprises or
organisations, or their internal departments,
requiring a total of three or more managers.)
13 General managers (This group is intended to include
persons who manage enterprises, or in some cases
organisations, on their own behalf, or on behalf of
the proprietor, with some non-managerial help and the
assistance of no more than one other manager who
should also be classified in this sub-major group as,
in most cases, the tasks will be broader than those
of a specialised manager in a larger enterprise or
organisation. Non managerial staff should be
classified according to their specific tasks.)
Note
In some case where specific professional, technical or
operational skills and knowledge may be required of workers at
legislative, administrative or managerial level, it may be
difficult to decide whether a particular job belongs in this or
another major group. In such cases, additional information on
the main tasks of the job in question is essential. If the main
tasks require the operational application of specific
professional knowledge or a particular technical skill, then the
job belongs in a different major group. If, however,
professional knowledge or technical skill serve only as a basis
for legislative, administrative or managerial tasks, then the job
belongs in this major group. For example, if the main tasks of
a job consist of diagnosing and treating illnesses, the job
belongs in Major group 2, Professionals. However, if one of the
main tasks is to allocate research and development funds on the
basis of medical knowledge, then the job belongs in this major
group.
