(A) The town makes every effort to create and maintain accurate job descriptions for all positions within the municipality. Each job description includes a job information section, a job summary section (giving a general overview of the job’s purpose), an essential duties and responsibilities section, a supervisory responsibilities section, a qualifications section (including education and/or experience and any certification required), a physical demands section, and a work environment section.
(B) The town maintains job descriptions to aid in identifying the requirements of each position, establishing hiring criteria, orienting new employees to their jobs, setting standards for employee performance evaluations, and establishing a basis for making reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
(C) Department heads prepare job descriptions for their departments when new positions are created. Existing job descriptions are also reviewed and revised in order to ensure that they are up-to-date. Job descriptions may also be rewritten periodically to reflect any changes in the position's duties and responsibilities. All employees are expected to help ensure that their job descriptions are accurate and current, reflecting the work being done.
(D) Employees should remember that job descriptions do not necessarily cover every task or duty that might be assigned, and additional responsibilities may be assigned as necessary. Employees may contact their department head if they have any questions or concerns about their job description. Job descriptions will be kept in the Town Manager’s office once approved by the Town Council.
