COMPLEXITY This factor covers the nature, number, variely, and intricacy of tasks, steps, processes or methods in the work performed; the difficulty in identifying what needs 0 be done; and the difficulty and originality involved in performing the work. FACTOR 6. SCOPE AND EFFECT Scope and effect covers the relationship between the nature of the work, i.e. the purpose, breadth and the depth of the assignments and the effect of the work products or services both within and outside the organization.

PERSONAL CONTACTS This factor includes face-to-face contacts and telephone and radio dialogue with persons not in the supervisory chain. Levels described under this factor are based on what is required to make the initial contact, the difficulty of the communicating with those contacted, and the setting in which the contact takes place. Above the lowest level, points should be credited under this factor only for contacts which are essential for successful performance of the work and which have a demonstrable impact on the difficulty and responsibility of the work perfonned. The relationship of Factors 7 and 8 presumes that the same contacts will be evaluated for both factors. Therefore, use the personal contact which serves as the basis for the level selected for Factor 8 as the basis for selecting a level for Factor 7. FACTOR 8. PURPOSE OF CONTACTS Purpose of personal contact range from factual exchanges of information to situations involving significant or controversial issues and differing view points, goals or objectives. The personal contacts which as the basis for the level selected for this factor must be the same as the contact which are the basis for the level selected in Factor 7, FACTOR 9. PHYSICAL DEMANDS The "Physical Demands" factor includes physical characteristics and abilities (e.g. agility and dexterity requirements) and the physical exertion involved in the work (e.g. stooping, bending, climbing, walking, or running).
