Job Descriptions
A job description is a summary of the essential functions of a job and must include the duties, responsibilities, and level of the work performed. A job description should describe and focus on the job itself as well as on the qualifications and skills required, not on a specific individual who might fill the job. Managers are responsible for reviewing job descriptions periodically to ensure that the job functions are current.
A new job description template is replacing Position Description Questionnaire documents (PDQs) and should be used for both exempt and non-exempt positions. To assist you with writing or revising a job description, we put together a “Job Description Writing Tips” document as well as a list of action words.
Compensation will review and evaluate the job description based on the duties, responsibilities, and requirements of the position and will assign a salary grade. Compensation will notify you of the results of this review.
