What is the code on the job description and what is it used for?
The code is simply a unique identifier that distinguishes one job from another by using a code rather than a title. Our current job descriptions which can be found on the Human Resources website use a six digit job classification code. The code that is on the new job description serves the same purpose but uses an alpha-numeric system rather than just a numeric system. The codes are used to help separate jobs into similar groupings but the code does not, in any manner, signify a salary grade or salary range. 28. There seems to be a lot of job duties that have been left out of the job description that I received. Why doesnt the job description describe the specific work that I do. Job descriptions are written in broad terms to describe the general nature and level of work performed; it does not necessarily describe the specific work performed by one individual. Its purpose is to describe, in general terms, the work performed by employees doing work similar in nature.
