Job Description Development
The job description is one of the primary tools for coordinating the employer’s HR program and communicating job requirements to employees.

HR Allen Consulting Services will prepare job descriptions that facilitate accurate comparisons of job duties and wage rates, while complying with applicable legislation, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act and the American with Disabilities Act.
 
An employee handbook communicates policies, benefits, and work standards to all employees in a single document. It provides valuable guidance through which the employer can disseminate legally required policies. It also provides valuable guidance for supervisors regarding the implementation and enforcement of company policies. This promotes uniform and consistent treatment of employees, thus reducing the risk of discriminatory treatment.

In close collaboration with your company’s decision-maker(s), HR Allen Consulting Services will recommend policies to reduce liabilities and encourage excellent performance.

From creating and implementing a single policy to creating and implementing a full Company Handbook HR Allen Consulting Services will work closely with you to assure your policies are clear and your liabilities limited.

In addition, because consistent application of policies is fundamental to good employee relations and critical to favorable resolution of allegations of unlawful discrimination, HR Allen Consulting Services will provide orientation and training to management prior to implementation of any new or revised policy. We even update you on a semi-annual basis if there are significant court decisions or legislative changes that affect the policies you have implemented in your organization.
 
 Job descriptions are important for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons are:

 

  • Job descriptions clarify who is responsible for what within the company. They also help define relationships between individuals, between departments, etc. When used to advantage, they can settle grievances, minimize conflicts, and improve communications.

 

  • Job descriptions help the jobholder understand the responsibilities of the position. This not only enables the employee to assess the relative importance of everything he or she is accountable for, but also provides a sense of where the job fits into the company as a whole.

 

  • Job descriptions are helpful to job applicants, employees, supervisors, and human resource professionals at every stage in the employment relationship, from recruitment to retirement. They provide information about the knowledge, training, education, and skills needed for each job. They prevent unnecessary misunderstanding by telling employees what they need to know about their jobs. Best of all, they provide this information in a completely objective and impersonal way.

 

  • Job descriptions help management analyze and improve the company’s structure. They reveal whether all company responsibilities are adequately covered and where these responsibilities should be reallocated to achieve a better balance.

 

  • Accurate job descriptions provide a basis for job evaluation, wage and salary surveys, and equitable wage and salary structure.
