The Manager I classification is the entry-level classification in this series, while the Manager II classification is the advanced, experienced, journey-level classification in this series.

The Manager II class differs from the Manager I in that the incumbent works under general direction and is assigned responsibilities of a more critical nature, which require a higher degree of independent judgment.

Except for the complexity and level of independence, tasks assigned to incumbents in this class are essentially the same as those assigned incumbents in the lower class of Manager I.
