EEOC Federal Sector Occupation Cross-Classification Table

The following EEOC FEDERAL SECTOR OCCUPATION CROSS-CLASSIFICATION TABLE is intended as general guidance in cross-classifying OPM occupation codes to the nine Federal Sector (FedSec) Occupation Groups. Agencies are encouraged to contact EEOC with specific questions about what category might be appropriate for their particular occupations.

When an employee is classified as a supervisor or manager, that employee should be placed in the Officials and Managers category rather than in the category in the crosswalk that they would otherwise be placed in based on their OPM occupation codes. Those employees classified as supervisors or managers who are at the GS-12 level or below should be placed in the First-Level sub-category of Officials and Managers, those at the GS-13 or 14 should be in the Mid-Level sub-category, and those at the GS-15 or in the SES should be placed in the Executive/Senior-Level sub-category. An agency may also choose to place employees who have significant policy-making responsibilities, but do not supervise other employees, in these three sub-categories.

The fourth sub-category, called "Other," contains employees in a number of different occupations which are primarily business, financial and administrative in nature, and do not have supervisory or significant policy responsibility. For example, Administrative Officers (OPM Code 0341) are appropriately placed in the "Other" sub-category.
