What is the difference between a Position Description Worksheet and a Position Description Form?
The Position Description Worksheet is a classification assessment tool that helps break a position down into its component parts for the purpose of classification evaluation. Managers use this worksheet when developing a job description for a new or significantly changed position. The Compensation Manager relies on this worksheet to evaluate and grade the position. The Position Description Form is a signed document kept on file in the Human Resource office which outlines a general summary of the position, examples of duties, minimum qualifications, supervision received, and supervision exercised. The Position Description Form must be certified with the following three signatures: 1) employee/staff member, 2) department head, and 3) Manager of Total Compensation.
