NOTE:

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 modify duties to be performed - even if seemingly unrelated to the basic job. 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 Human Resources Office. It should also be noted that the order of duties/ responsibilities listed in the job description is not designed or intended to rank the duties in any order of importance relative to each other. In filling a vacant position, preferred or required credentials regarding education, training, experience, and other bona fide occupational qualifications may be established. The credentials in this job description may be interpreted only as the minimum criteria existing when the description was developed. Other bona fide occupational qualifications and criteria may be utilized as needed in the selection process.
