Foreword Note Applicable to Payroll Accounts

Separate objective accounts are provided in the manual for recording renumeration of those personnel engaged in opera- tional activities (23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30 and 33), those engaged in administrative activities (21, 31, 32 and 34), and those engaged in miscellaneous unclassified operational or administrative activities (35).

In principle, all personnel whose duties are directly identified with the performance of a single operational or administrative objective for which separate classifications are provided, are to be so recorded regardless of job title or class. Personnel not so directly identified are to be included in the unclassified category. Thus, secretaries, typists and clerks directly identified with traffic handling activities are to be included in the appropriate subdivision of Account 26; those directly identified with paperwork management, accounting or general economic research, not incident to traffic handling or other operational activities, are to be included in Account 31; and those directly identified with activities not otherwise separately provided for, such as industrial relations, internal security, or centralized services available equally to two or more named objectives, are to be included in Account 35.

Examples of the objective classifications to be accorded representative personnel are listed on the following pages.
