Important Notes

Essential Duties:
Job descriptions are designed and intended only to summarize the essential duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and requirements for the purpose of clarifying the general nature and scope of a position's role as part of the overall organization. Job descriptions do not list all tasks an employee might be expected to perform and they do not limit the right of the employer/supervisor to assign additional tasks or otherwise to modify duties to be performed - even if seemingly unrelated to the basic job. Every employee has a duty to perform all assigned tasks (An employee who is assigned a duty or task believed to be unlawful should report the assignment to their direct supervisor). It should also be noted the order of duties/responsibilities as listed in the job description is not designed or intended to rank the duties in any order of importance relative to each other.


Minimum Requirements:
In filling a vacant position, preferred or required credentials regarding education, training experience, and other bona fide occupational qualifications may be established. The credentials shown in the job description may be interpreted only as the minimum criteria existing at the time the description was developed. Other bona fide occupational qualifications and criteria may be used as needed in the selection process.
