NOTES

ESSENTIAL DUTIES

Job descriptions are designed and intended only to summarize the essential duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and

requirements for the purpose of clarifying the general nature and scope of a position’s role as part of the overall organization.

Job descriptions do not list all tasks an employee might be expected to perform, and they do not limit the right of the

employer/supervisor to assign additional tasks or otherwise to modify duties to be performed – even if seemingly unrelated to

the basic job. Every employee shall follow federal and state laws, as well as Board policies. Every employee has a duty to

perform all assigned tasks. (An employee who is assigned a duty or task believed to be unlawful should report the assignment

to the Personnel Director.) It should also be noted the order of duties/responsibilities as listed in the job description is not

designed or intended to rank the duties in any order of importance relative to each other.
