Specifics of drawing up a job description

Domestic legislation still lacks standards mandatory for drawing up job descriptions. Therefore, employers have considerable freedom in writing it, provided that it does not contradict the employment contract and the provisions of labor legislation. However, when creating it, employers are guided by certain standards, especially regarding the structure of the document. The standard instructions include 4 parts:

• A common part.
• Responsibilities of the employee.
• His possible liability.
• Rights granted to him by his employer.

In addition to the above, other sections may be added that specify certain aspects of the employee’s activities. Typically, these sections describe working conditions, parameters of job relationships and criteria for assessing the quality of work.

Attention! A possible change in job description requires the written consent of the employee. Therefore, the employer needs to take its preparation seriously from the very beginning.

The aspects of replacement in the event of his temporary absence are described, to whom he is obliged to obey, what provisions he should be guided by in his work, and other points. The main points are more or less standards for specialists of the same class, and significant differences are present only when describing the skills required of the employee, which must be correlated with the responsibilities given in the next part. Thus, the required skills of electrical installers can vary greatly in the electricity sector, industry, construction work or in the housing and public utilities sector.

Functions

This part is reserved to describe the duties required of the specialist. Depending on the profile of the company, its size, organizational structure and other parameters, some of the labor functions may vary, especially those that are not core.

Attention! If a company provides equipment, tools, and workwear to a specialist, then it is necessary to state in a separate paragraph the employee’s obligation to store and ensure they are in proper condition.

Responsibility

This part contains a list of offenses for which an employee may be held accountable. Usually 3-4 violations are listed, without specifying penalties. Reason: the employee's punishment can be determined only after the relevant proceedings have been completed.

Rights

The final standard section, which provides a list of rights given to the specialist by his employer. This list is typical for technical specialists, but for professions associated with production risks, it can be supplemented with a clause on possible refusal of work in the event of an inadequate state of technological safety at work sites.

After the job description has been drawn up, it is agreed upon with the responsible employees of the company: lawyer, HR manager, and the specialist’s immediate supervisor. After taking into account their adjustments, the document is sent to the head of the company for approval. In this case, the instructions must be printed with all the features of an official document: decoding of signatures, listing of company details, etc.
