An Office Worker (Japanese: ビジネスマン Businessman and ＯＬ Office Lady) is a type of Trainer class introduced in Generation V as Clerks. They are based on Japanese salarymen and office ladies.

In Generation V, there are two versions of the male Clerk: one more prominent and common (aka the average employee), while the other is more rare, generally portrayed as the one in charge of the others. Female Clerks are denoted as Clerk ♀, while both male Clerks are Clerk ♂.

In Generation VII, female Office Workers share their appearance with Teachers, Actors, and Reporters.

A female Office Worker and a female Preschooler can team up to form a Dancing Family and challenge the player to a Double Battle. One male and one female Office Worker can also tag together to create a Double Battle Trainer class known as Colleagues.
