INTENT AND FUNCTION OF JOB DESCRIPTIONS

Job descriptions assist organizations in ensuring that the hiring process is fairly administered and that qualified employees are selected.

Well-constructed job descriptions are an integral part of any effective compensation system.

However, no accommodation will be made which may pose serious health or safety risks to the employee or others or which impose undue hardships on the organization.
