Job Descriptions

GLC · February 2003

Do you normally create a job description for every person or create the job
description for the position? Ex. We may have 5 people in a Therapist position. The position is basically the same, but often times employees think the job desciption should fit their job exactly and not a general one for a
Family Therapist. Is anyone adding a HIPPA compliance statement to their job descriptions? If so, can you share the wording?

The federal government uses pretty specific job descriptions but if there is a "generic" one for certain positions, like clerk, they number them XXXX.1 XXXX.2 etc. so that each employee has a specific job description numbered to them.
No on your second question.

We use one job description for those that have multiple incumbents such as custodians. The specifics on the job are the same, they just might work in a different building. The same goes for project specialists in one of our units. However, we may have two Purchasing Assistants with very different duties. In those cases, I differentiate with Purchasing Assistant-Property Control and Purchasing Assistant-Accounts. It varies by the position and the duties involved. Although we have a generic administrative secretary job description available, just about all of our admin secs have different JDs.

We use a job description for each position (such as Teller or Loan Processing Clerk) but each JD includes "Additional duties" where specific tasks are listed, such as "Duties may include balancing travelers checks, handling branch cash items, ..." In some jobs it's just "additional duties as assigned".
