Job Description Considerations
Job descriptions are important tools for communicating duties to employees, but that is not their only purpose. A well-written job description can be used to help defend your company against charges of discrimination in hiring, promotion and termination decisions. However, one that is poorly written or inaccurate can make your company look very bad in such situations.
Before distributing this - or any - job description to employees, it's a good idea to have it reviewed by legal counsel.
