Flight employees apply their understanding of interrelated systems and processes across multiple functional areas and their interoperability to ensure the validity and accuracy of all disbursements, collections, and adjustments related to financial records.

Comptroller Flight services directly impact on ANG activities, supported organizations, and airmen/civilians abilities to satisfy substantial and significant military pay, travel, accounting, entitlement and vendor pay requirements in support of the ANG mission. This fully meets FL 1-2.

Factor 2 - Organizational Setting:

Work is performed under the general supervision of the Comptroller whose position is one level below the ANG Wing Commander. This meets FL 2-1.

Factor 3 - Supervisory and Managerial Authority Exercised:

This position directs and supervises the Financial Management Section and plans, schedules and directs assignments of on-going ‘production-oriented’ work on quarterly and annual basis. The position exercises nearly all of the first level supervisory authorities (at least 8 of 10) described under Level 3-2c.

Factor 4 - Personal Contacts:

Sub-factor 4A - Nature of Contacts:

Contacts for this position include subordinate personnel, peers in other states, ANG Wing supported units, all levels of management within the ANG Wing, counterparts in other states, business owners, higher ranking managers, supervisors, DFAS, etc. This fully meets FL 4A-2.

Sub-factor 4B - Purpose of Contacts:

Purpose of the contacts is to ensure information provided to outside parties is accurate and consistent; to plan and coordinate the work directed with that of others outside the subordinate organizations; and/or to resolve differences of opinion among managers, supervisors, employees, or others. This fully meets FL 4B-2.

Factor 5 - Difficulty of Typical Work Directed:

The position is responsible for direction and supervision of GS technical and clerical work. The constructed base level creditable to this position that best characterizes the nature of the basic, mission oriented, non-supervisory work performed and which constitutes 25% or more of the workload (not positions or employees) of the organization, is GS-08. This fully meets FL 5-4.

Factor 6 - Other Conditions:

Work supervised involves technician and support work comparable in difficulty to GS-08. Coordination is required to ensure consistency of service, interpretation or advice, and conformance with regulations, formal standards or agency policy. It requires coordination with supervisors of other units to deal with requirements and problems affecting others outside the organization. This fully meets FL 6-2a.
