Job Description (and Daily Activity Work Log)
This week your completed Job Description (along with your Daily Activity Work Log) is due.
Job Descriptions help protect employers from potential lawsuits by explaining the skills the employee must have to be hired. If an employee fails to display the required skills, a job description can be used by the employer as a defense against discrimination complaints. They are statements that describe in detail the required tasks, responsibilities, knowledge, skills, abilities and reporting structure required for the position. The finished Job Description is used as the basis for the employee’s guidance on the duties of the job, for performance reviews, to determine compensation and job postings.
Instructions:
- Using the job description format that was attached in Unit 3 (also attached hereto) to prepare a comprehensive and complete Job Description based on the Daily Activity Work Log along with the other requirements of the job (education, experience, special skills, etc.)
- Prior to doing the Job Description make sure you have a good understanding of what needs to be included. Full instructions are included in the readings and resources under Unit 3. Instructions on “How to develop Job Descriptions) are also included in Unit 4 Readings and Resources.
