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. They are also essential to an effective appraisal system and related
promotion, transfer, layoff, and termination decisions. Well-constructed job descriptions are an integral part of any effective compensation system.
All descriptions have been reviewed to ensure that only essential functions and basic duties have been
included. Peripheral tasks, only incidentally related to each position, have been excluded. Requirements,
skills, and abilities included have been determined to be the minimal standards required to successfully
perform the positions. In no instance, however, should the duties, responsibilities, and requirements
delineated be interpreted as all-inclusive. Additional functions and requirements may be assigned by
supervisors as deemed appropriate.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is possible that requirements may be modified to
reasonably accommodate disabled individuals. However, no accommodations will be made which may
pose serious health or safety risks to the employee or others or which impose undue hardships on the
organization.
Job descriptions are not intended as and do not create employment contracts. The organization maintains
its status as an at-will employer. Employees can be terminated for any reason not prohibited by law.
