file clerks

Office paper handlers

File clerks is the plural of file clerk, an office worker who organizes, stores, and retrieves documents and records.

The role involves maintaining filing systems—alphabetical, numerical, or categorical—so that papers can be located when needed.

The file clerks spent the morning sorting through last month's invoices.

The job has diminished as digital storage replaces physical files.
