MAKE SURE YOUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS ARE CURRENT

Unfortunately, our current economic times have required employers to do more work with less employees.  As a result, at least some positions have been consolidated or modified so your employees’ current job descriptions are probably outdated.  Keep in mind that several employment laws rely on accurate job descriptions – such as whether the employer can request a credit report, whether an employee can be reemployed in modified/light duty for a period of time, or whether a person is qualified for a position based on the essential functions of the job.  It is a good idea to review job descriptions on a regular basis to ensure that they are accurate and current.
