5300-00 State government - Administrative field
				personnel
Applies to state employees whose duties may require them to
				travel to an alternative work location but their work assignment is
				administrative in nature. Travel is an expectation for these workers in order
				to perform their job duties which involves travel to meetings or appointments
				with clients, customers, or businesses. Travel to perform work at an alternate
				location may be required on a regular, sporadic or as needed basis. Typical
				work includes, but is not limited to, field auditor, collector, social worker,
				attorney, public relations or consulting staff with no hazardous exposures.
				Supervisors who occasionally travel to accompany field staff for purposes such
				as observation or information gathering, but who do not typically perform any
				work other than administrative, are also included in this classification.
				Employees in this classification may also have follow-up work that is completed
				in the office such as writing reports, correspondence, etc.
This classification excludes employees with duties outside of
				the office which are more than administrative in nature such as, but not
				limited to, engineers, inspectors, and biologists who may have some field
				exposure, and are to be reported in 5307. For purposes of this classification,
				field exposure is defined as any work period, other than the normal travel to
				or from a work environment, which involves "hands on" work.
This classification excludes: Employees whose duties include
				field or hazardous exposure, employees who provide interaction to direct,
				control or manage activities of inmates, residents, patients or potentially
				violent persons in state hospitals, schools, homes, detention or correctional
				facilities which may involve security, recreation, or staff whose duties
				include restraining individuals, who are to be reported separately in the
				appropriate classification (5307, 7103, 7201); clerical and administrative
				office personnel who are to be reported separately in classification 4902; law
				enforcement officers in any capacity who are to be reported separately in
				classification 7103; employees who provide patient or health care at
				state-operated mental health or acute care hospitals with a fully implemented
				safe patient handling program who are to be reported in classification 7200;
				employees who provide patient or health care at state-operated mental health or
				acute care hospitals that do not have a fully implemented safe patient handling
				program who are to be reported in classification 7400; and employees who
				provide care and treatment for patients or residents and work in state
				hospitals, homes, schools, detention or correctional facilities who are not
				otherwise classified who are to be reported separately in classification 7201.
				Volunteers are to be reported in classification 6901, and law enforcement
				volunteers in classification 6906.
This classification may be assigned to all departments,
				agencies, boards, commissions and committees of either the executive,
				legislative or judicial branches of state government.
Special notes
:
A division of
				hours is not permitted between classification 5300 and any other
				classification.
For purposes of this classification, the term "administrative
				field personnel" shall have the same meaning as "sales personnel" defined in
				the standard exception provision of the general reporting
				rule.
