Why is completing a Job Analysis Questionnaire (JAQ) necessary?
The JAQ is an essential tool when classifying a position. The supervisor has the opportunity to outline the responsibilities and requirements of the position. The information on the JAQ is utilized to compose the job description and tasks are used. Position classification is the formal assignment of a job title, salary grade, and job description that is developed based on the requirements of the position. The components of a position classification include scope of duties and responsibilities, skills and abilities, educational criteria, length of experience, and market pay information.
