What is the difference between a class specification and a job description?
A class specification is a broad description of functions that may be performed by employees in the same class. A job description is a detailed description of what an individual does in course of their work. For example, a class specification may state “maintains spreadsheets and databases” while a job description may state “enters and maintains student attendance data in the STARS database”. Job descriptions include the purpose for each function performed by the position. 5.
