01532 TRAVEL CLERK II
Travel usually involves the use of two or more modes of transportation.
Information on carriers, modes and facilities is readily available since
most carriers servicing the area maintain local facilities or publish
information regularly. Single carriers or connecting carriers have
schedules that are easily coordinated through the use of readily
obtainable timetables or guides.
Travel is frequently recurrent. A substantial number of problems arise
as a result of rerouting, and there are often side trips requiring changes
of transportation. Travel is usually to areas accessible by direct line or
established connecting points and normal modes of transportation. Travel
is not always planned well in advance, so there may be major problems of
scheduling or accommodations.
Travel involves special transportation privileges or special allowances
and requires authorization or planning for supplemental or special
transportation facilities, and when such services are required, they
usually do not occur in such variety or with such frequency as to create
major problems of timing or coordination.
Within general guidelines, employees select and apply appropriate
travel guides, methods, techniques and work sequences to effectively
accomplish the work. The majority of assignments are performed without
technical assistance, but unusually difficult travel situations or problem
cases encountered during the course of the work are referred to the
supervisor before decision or commitment. Review of work is for compliance
with regulatory guides and program policies and for soundness of decisions
and conclusions.
