Why Job Descriptions Lag Behind
•
•
People think of them as documents/paper
No one person can complete them
◦
◦
•
People don’t know where to start
◦
◦
•
Different formats/focus
Everything else is more important
◦
•
Especially for new Jobs
Lack of content
No Structured way to go about it
◦
•
HR knows how to write them
Managers/Stakeholders know the
details of the job
Recruiting, Performance Reviews,
Compensation, Market Pricing
Despite the fact that none of these can be done well without an effective Job
Description
No Urgency (until you need to hire someone)

 Controls who can see what
◦ Provide information to those that need it
 Folks in other roles, hiring managers, recruiters, Compensation, OD

Compliance
• Protect against FLSA wage and hour lawsuit
In an article, Beware 'Misclassification Creep' in Employee Exemption, Littler Mendelson
shareholder and co-chair of the firm’s wage-and-hour practice group, Lee Schreter
states, “It’s easy enough
for companies to ask their
employees to sign off on
their job descriptions during
their periodic performance
reviews, so there is both
mutual understanding and,
for the employer, welldocumented proof that the
employee knows where they
stand. That kind of evidence,
I believe even the courts will
be hard-pressed to dismiss.”
