Yes, it is correct if you are speaking about the boss of more than one secretary (the plural possessive form.) If you were speaking of the boss of one secretary the proper spelling would be secretary's.
The plural of secretary is secretaries.
The possessive of secretary is secretary's.
The plural possessive of secretary is secretaries' (I have heard that secretaries's is technically correct, but I find it cumbersome myself.)
In general the possessive form of words ending in S is that word with an apostrophe on the end.
