Job Description
The job analysis is used to generate a job description, which defines the duties of each task, and other responsibilities of the position. The description covers the various task requirements, such as mental or physical activities; working conditions and job hazards. The approximate percentage of time the employee should spend on each activity is also specified. Job descriptions focus on the what, why, where and how of the job.
There are two excellent resources the small business owner can use to develop job descriptions. First, ask employees themselves to describe their jobs. A good employee may know more about the job than anyone else. Second, consult the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, published by the Government Printing Office, which contains over 20,000 job descriptions.
