Generally, work is observed and reviewed both during its performance and upon completion, and changes in procedure or exceptions to rules are explained in detail as they arise.

Assignments are performed with the expectation that incumbents have the ability to choose among alternatives in solving job problems and work productively in the occasional absence of a supervisor. Positions at this level receive instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.
