What Not to Put in Job Descriptions

If you're creating a written job description, it's generally not necessary to list any duty that does not take up more than 5 percent of the job holder's time.

However, if there is some aspect of a job's duties that occur periodically or even just once a year, but has a large impact on the business, it should be included.

Warning

Warning

Job descriptions should describe the job, not the person who fills it. Make sure that your job descriptions do not include anything that might be considered discriminatory. Your job descriptions should not, for example, say that the person doing the job must be of a certain race, religion, or gender, unless it is a bona fide occupational qualification. Job descriptions should not make any mention of age or marital status requirements, either.
