Job Description Update

Why update a job description

• It is important that an employee’s job description remains current and is updated as needed.

• The job description should reflect the duties and responsibilities that have been assigned to the position.

• The job description update request should include a brief explanation of what specific duties and responsibilities have been added to the position or how the position has otherwise changed.

• When updating a job description, refer to the Career Tracks job standards or collective bargaining agreement and TCS
  
  • Career Tracks is a classification framework that aligns non-represented jobs to their respective labor market and supports career paths designed to enhance career mobility.
