Job Descriptions: Critical Role in HR, Workers Comp, and Safety Management

• OVERVIEW

Job descriptions are critical for both practical and legal reasons. They are an essential tool in developing hiring criteria and navigating the candidate selection process. Job descriptions can also be very useful for ascertaining return to work/light duty assignments in workers’ compensation cases.

• WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

On the other hand, improperly prepared descriptions, or ones that are used in a disparate manner can land an employer (and its supervisors) in legal hot water with both the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

• The designation of “safety sensitive” positions
