How to Use This
Site
Introduction
The job descriptions on this site are provided
as examples of job descriptions that have worked
to meet requirements for the management
responsibility aspect of the ISO 9000 standard,
ISO 13485 Medical Device Standard or the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. They are not intended to
meet all aspects relating to Equal Opportunity
Employment Laws or other specialized purposes.
Job Descriptions
Job descriptions are one of those items that
people who have not been initiated via a Lead
Auditor Course or more painfully, by an audit,
do not do because they don't see the term job
descriptions in the ISO 9000 Standard. There are
a number of inter-related reasons a Registrar's
Auditors expect them. This is one of those items
where you either create job descriptions or put
a number of employee's job responsibilities as
they relate to quality into your procedures.
Job descriptions are about the most un-fun
task a manager or human resources person ever
has to do. While job descriptions are very
useful for determining compensation levels,
identifying quality responsibilities and being
used as specifications for finding new
employees, writing them can be dull, dull, dull.
From a quality system implementation stand
point, I have found it easier to put the job
descriptions in the Human Resources Department
as stand alone documents and keep them out of
the procedures. Resumes on file also help show
prior experience to auditors, where current
training is not available, however, the
appropriate job skills exist.
Job Descriptions are as
follows:
How to Use
This Site
The most direct way I know of to
get the task completed is to get the person or
persons responsible for supervising the
employees to write the descriptions. They know
what the job, educational and quality
requirements are for those who work for them.
What I have done, and others I
have went through this with, is to use the
format in the job descriptions I have on this
web site and address each section. I typically
provide "Sample" descriptions, such as the ones
I have posted to them and have the managers
"correct" the descriptions. It is helpful to
provide job descriptions that are similar to
those of the people they are trying to write
them for. It makes it easier for them to write
job descriptions if they can see what is wanted.
As I have stated, in the ISO 9000
standard, there is nothing requiring a job
description. It is implied and expected. I have
them kept in Human Resources and have Human
Resources update them annually, as a minimum, to
ensure I have one for everyone, company
president included. Be sure to address the
quality requirements. ISO auditors look for that
as well.
A second method is to is to
go to the Dictionary
of Occupational Titles printed by
the US Government Printing Office. This is
sometimes hard to find in some libraries,
however, is not the easiest book to use. It is
also only updated every decade or so.
Another method I recommended is
to do a job search on the Internet for the type
of jobs you have to write descriptions for.
Professional and Human Resources recruiters
write nice ones to identify qualified
candidates.
Legal-ese
I do retain my copyright of these
descriptions, which means you can use them for
your business's job descriptions or modify them
to work for your needs, just don't publish them
on another web site or in any publications
without my permission. For additional
information, refer to the Legal Page.
