    Product Description

    Job descriptions are a critical tool for employers. If well drafted, job descriptions objectively define the expectations for the position, while ensuring that the employee understands the lens via which performance will be evaluated. This transparency enables the employer and the employee to have a mutual understanding of their employment relationship.

    Ensuring that job descriptions describe the position’s essential functions is key as job descriptions should be at the front and center of reasonable accommodation discussions. Defining the essential functions for the position in the job description allows for a productive interactive dialogue and maximizes the opportunity to preserve the employment relationship. Conversely, not having well-drafted job descriptions can be detrimental to the employer and foster disagreements about what is essential. Those disagreements may be avoided if the employer has well-drafted job descriptions. Join us for an engaging discussion on best practices when drafting job descriptions, key considerations, and certain pitfalls that employers can avoid by having well-defined job descriptions.
