Some clerical supervisors in the private sector may receive additional compensation in the form of bonuses and stock options. Almost all employers offer medical insurance, vacation, and sick leave.
Most employers also offer dental insurance, retirement plans and life insurance.
Most work a standard 40-hour week. Because some organizations operate around the clock, however, clerical supervisors may have to work nights, weekends, and holidays. In some cases, supervisors rotate among the three shifts. In others, shifts are assigned on the basis of seniority. While office automation will cause employment in some clerical occupations to slow or even decline, supervisors will be more likely to retain their jobs because of their relatively higher skills and longer tenure.
