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.
Job descriptions have so many purposes for an employer – they help in the recruitment and interviewing process so that you can get that ideal candidate to come to work for your company. It helps the employee know exactly what are your expectations. And, finally, it helps the employer defend itself in court – as long as they are written correctly. In this webinar, we will discuss how to write an effective job description how to use them to attract and retain quality employees, and how to use them if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being sued.
