The job will be assigned to a salary range within the band based on market data.

7 Job Descriptions A position description serves as a formal document that summarizes the important functions and responsibilities of a specific job in which the university uses as a tool for:  Recruiting  Determining salary levels  Conducting performance reviews  Establishing titles and pay grades  Creating reasonable accommodation controls  Career planning  Training exercises  Legal requirements for compliance purposes

8 Job Descriptions Cont. Job descriptions should accurately represent actual duties and responsibilities as well as job specifications. Job descriptions are not based on personal achievements or individual qualifications. A job description gives an employee a very clear and concise resource to be used as a guide for job performance. Likewise, a supervisor can use a job description as a measuring tool to ensure that the employee is meeting job expectations.

Essential functions are the “fundamental job duties of the employment position.” Whether a particular job function is essential also depends on the following:  The amount of time spent performing the function.  The consequences if the function is not required to be performed.  The experience of current incumbents in similar jobs. EEOC regulations also provide that several other factors should be considered when distinguishing between essential and marginal job functions, including whether:  The performance of the function is the reason the position exists.  There are a limited number of employees available to perform the particular job functions.  The function is so highly specialized that the incumbent must have certain expertise to perform the function.
