Position Descriptions
The Position Description (PD) describes the key or major duties and responsibilities of a position. The primary use of PDs is for classification and pay purposes. However, a PD also serves as the basis for preparing an employee's performance plan/objectives, preparing a formal training plan, or reviewing and evaluating employees' current or prior work experience.
