Answer 1

Job description
A company secretary manages the processes that ensure their organisation complies with company legislation and regulation and keeps board members informed of their legal responsibilities. By law, every company must have a company secretary.

They are responsible for calling annual general meetings and board meetings and ensuring the implementation of their decisions. It is also their responsibility to register and communicate with shareholders, and to pay dividends. Ensuring that their company complies with legal and regulatory requirements, company secretaries provide a firm foundation on which companies can successfully operate.

Company secretaries work in all sectors. Some act as freelance consultants.

Typical work activities
A company secretary's work covers a wide variety of functions and is partly dependent on the company for which they work. Typical work activities include:

organising, preparing agendas for, and taking minutes of meetings;
dealing with correspondence, collating information, writing reports, ensuring decisions made are communicated to the relevant people;
contributing to meeting discussions, as and when required, and advising members of the legal, governance, accounting and tax implications of proposed policies;
monitoring changes in relevant legislation and the regulatory environment, and taking appropriate action;
liaising with external regulators and advisers, such as lawyers and auditors;
taking responsibility for the health and safety of employees and managing insurance and property issues;
developing and overseeing the systems that ensure the company complies with all applicable codes, as well as its legal and statutory requirements.
The work of a company secretary in a registered company may be more specialised than in a smaller private company. For example, the liaison role between management and shareholders, and compliance, may make up a major part of their work. This could include:

maintaining the register of shareholders and monitoring changes in share ownership of the company;
paying dividends;
administering share option schemes;
arranging the annual general meeting and co-ordinating the production of the annual report.
The company secretary would also be fully involved in share issues, mergers and takeovers.

In small businesses, other duties commonly undertaken by company secretaries include:

monitoring the administration of the company's pension scheme;
overseeing and renewing insurance cover for employees, equipment and premises;
engaging in contractual agreements with suppliers and customers;
managing office space and property and dealing with personnel administration;
overseeing public relations and aspects of financial management.

Answer 2

Not. 1. She must answer the phone which gives you more time on Y!A. 2. At least she makes an effort to look presentable (in her view)--the next secretary might not. 3. The jealousy could make for interesting and free drama, thus diverting you from "real work" you are paid to do, which could mix it up when Y!A gets boring. 4. She has rent or a mortgage to pay like everyone else. Besides, no one else may hire her in this market. And, you are big-hearted enough to not want to cause someone else to be homeless. 5. If she really adds nothing of value to the company then perhaps you two are tied, since you like to be with us all day! lol ;0)

-----------------------------------

From my own words, today secretaries like to be called Administrative Assistants. There are different types of Administrative Assistants/Secretaries. There are "Executive Assistants", "Personal Assistants" and also "Legal Administrative Assistants." Executive Assistants work for hierarchy of a corporation such as President/CEO's, CFO's and Senior Vice Presidents there is a lot of calendaring and travel arrangements in these positions and greeting other outside executives or dealing with board of director members. "Personal Assistants" work out of the home of CEO or high level management person taking care of supervising hired staff in the home, running errands, planning social functions and they may also work from the executive's office too going between the home and office. "Legal Administrative Assistant" is a specialized area of a secretary. They have experience and knowledge of certain areas of law whether it be litigation, corporate law, real estate, or trust estates and if trained by an attorney or taking an educational program at a university, can move into a higher position called a Paralegal or Legal Assistant.
