Common use of Job Descriptions Generally Clause in Contracts

Job Descriptions Generally. (A) Persons may be asked to fill-in for other individuals, when there is an emergency, or when an individual is at lunch, or on leave of any other kind. It is understood, however, that when a person is filling-in, they are not expected to perform both their own job and the fill-in job concurrently. (B) It is also understood that the person filling-in is only expected to do so to the extent the duties are job-related and consistent with the person’s own job description. The only exception to this is the position of Switchboard Operator/Receptionist. When it becomes necessary to fill-in for the Switchboard Operator/Receptionist, and no suitable replacement can be found, any available employee may be requested to fill-in for the Switchboard Operator/Receptionist. No office shall be without a receptionist for more than three months, except for offices in which: (1) there are less than six staff members and (2) the office does not regularly see walk-ins, or all casehandlers work at least part-time in another office with a receptionist. (C) The same individual cannot be required, in every instance, to substitute for other staff members, and this responsibility shall be rotated wherever possible. The rotation of this responsibility shall not, however, be used to violate or circumvent the provision in §18.6 of this Collective Bargaining Agreement. (D) Wherever there is more than one person in an office in the same job title, the tasks encompassed within that job description shall be equally distributed. If only one person is able to perform one of the tasks, the work load of that person shall be adjusted accordingly, so as to achieve an equitable balance.
