12 Elements of a Job Description…

13 What Are Essential Functions?
Essential functions are the fundamental job duties performed in a position, with or without reasonable accommodation. The term "essential functions" does not include the marginal functions of the position. Two basic considerations: Are employees in the position actually required to perform the function? Would removing that function fundamentally change the job?

14 A Function May Be Essential Because…
The position exists to perform the function. There are a limited number of other employees available to perform the function, or among whom the function can be distributed. A function is highly specialized, and the person in the position is hired for special expertise or ability to perform it.

15 Questions to Consider…
Does the job exist to do this function? How much time per week is spent doing this function? What are the minimum qualifications and job standards? What critical skills, experience, training, education, and/or license are needed? What equipment is used to do this function?  How frequently is the equipment used? What are the physical elements of this function? What are the mental elements of this function?

16 More Questions to Consider…
Can other current employees do this function if necessary? Would taking this function from the job significantly change the job? Would there be significant consequences if this function were not performed? Could this function be redesigned or performed in another way? Did the previous employee do this function? Do people in similar positions elsewhere do this function? Is this function essential, as opposed to marginal?
