How does an Employer make sure the job requirements are in line with the Department of Labor (DOL) guidelines?
The job requirements should not exceed those as described in DOL’s Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. If they exceed the SOC standards, then the employer must justify a “business necessity” for the excessive requirements by showing how the requirements are related and necessary for the position.
