The processing of cases in public administration is characterized by the legality of administrative action and the requirements of verifiability (Article 19, Paragraph 4 of the Basic Law) and - at least formally - transparency. In public administration, the job title is partly linked to belonging to a certain career group, for example at the lower administrative level ( civil servants in the middle service and employees of comparable pay groups ) and at the ministerial level ( upper service ). Clerks are subordinate to the head of the unit or a speaker . The office clerks are subordinate to them as civil servants of the middle service or higher service or similarly grouped collective bargaining employees.

A function can be assigned to up to three offices in a career group , and in the highest federal authorities to all offices in a career group. Clerks can be assigned to grades A 9 to A 13 according to their function and seniority .
