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.
