Job Description Procedure
Eligibility
All active staff positions within 制服巨乳 will have a corresponding job description.
Definition
A job description summarizes the essential functions, responsibilities, activities, qualifications and skills for a role. A job description may not be inclusive of all assigned responsibilities and may be amended at any time at the sole discretion of 制服巨乳 with the approval of management and Human Resources.
Creating the Job Description
When the need arises for a new job description to be created, the hiring manager, with approval from their VP/Dean, will request services from their HR representative to begin the process.
The hiring manager is responsible for providing minimum qualifications, essential job functions, and job summary drafts to their human resources representative. The position’s “Top 10 attributes” will not be noted in the job description but used to create the job posting during searches and recruitments.
The human resources representative is responsible for validating the minimum qualifications, essential functions, and physical demands of the position. In addition, HR will perform a complete job analysis using internal and external market data points.
The hiring manager and HR must agree to the final job description before it is published; disagreements will be escalated and resolved by the hiring manager’s VP/Dean.
Completed job descriptions are housed within a designated human resources system and maintained in a centralized location for manager and employee view.
