Business Service Officers differ from the general Staff Services Analyst and Associate Business Management Analyst classes in that incumbents perform technical business services duties for the majority of time. The incumbents of the Staff Services Analyst and Associate Business Management Analyst classes perform analytical duties for the majority of time.

This classification is eligible for the following pay:
