(1) Each department of Government has a large staff of professional civil servants who do most of the day -to -day work of running the government affairs. Government workforce is quite diverse, each employee with his portion of responsibility and scope of activities. Civil service consists of three main grades – the administrative grade, the executive grade and the clerical one. All the grades except the clerical one fall into three classes from the first to the third. The difference in salary of officials holding the first and the third class in some countries is twenty fold.

(2) The administrative grade is the highest in the hierarchy of civil service and is assisted by the expert advice of members of specialist classes, for example legal or scientific. It is composed of the chief officials in charge of departments or ministries as well as the members of administrative bodies and the councillors who generally act as advisers to ministers. Administrative executives are involved in direct public policy decision-making and evaluation of public programmes on the national level.They have the power to set out policies, outline future plans and select procedures and activities.

(3)The duties of government employees in the executive grade are to execute laws, rules and regulations in order to carry outwhat has been planned or decided by government for public good. Actually, the major task of executives in government organizations or agencies is to put into life public policies in conformity with the central government directives and then to report to their seniors. To deal effectively with some economic, social or technological problem a public executive delegates authority to the professionals who are experts in a large number of specialized occupational fields ranging from public education and civil engineering to medicine and finance.

(4) People entering the lowest, the clerical class of the civil service, are normally clerks and typists who deal with keeping records, paper filing and correspondence. They prepare information and papers for their superiors and for the general public. Their functions are entirely supportive.

(5)According to the Table of Ranks of the civil service of Russian Federation there are (from top downwards) full state councillors, higher state councillors, state councillors, senior reviewers and reviewers. Higher public administrators as well as the councillors are the professional advisers and perform advisory and supervisory functions. Their job is to be ready to serve the ministers in power and advise them on social and economic priorities. They are expected to warn and assist those who formulate state policy. Administrative executives of this levelare supposed to have vision and concepts on public policy approaches. The field of activities of a reviewer is a comprehensive research analysis making available new information for the seniors to take a decision.
