Writing Effective Job Descriptions
Duration: 60 Minutes
Job descriptions have become extremely important for employers. Courts are required to give deference to an employer’s description of essential functions of the job as long as they are listed in a job description that was in place before the employer sought applicants. Yet, some employers have discovered that job descriptions have hurt them in court – in large part because the employer failed to consider the job description as a constant work in progress and failed to keep them up to date.
