JOB DESCRIPTIONS
Discussion
Job descriptions are an excellent way to summarize the
job being filled and to focus the selection process as well as to limit
future liability from disgruntled employees. A job description may be
helpful in directing the employee on their work, work performance, who
they report to, etc. Generally, federal law does not require employers
to have job descriptions. However, there are exceptions such as jobs
where employees handle or dispose of hazardous waste materials (40 CFR
S264.16). NPCs may also want to consider the impact of the job
description with relation to the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA). Though the ADA does not require employers to have job
descriptions, a carefully considered job description may assist an
employer when presenting a case against an employee unable to perform an essential
function of their job.
