Job Descriptions,
An Article by Dinah Bailey, HR ByDESIGN

We’ve all heard someone say “It’s not my job.” Not that this portrays a very positive attitude from an employee, but have you ever asked yourself how that person knows it’s not their job?

We all perform a variety of tasks in a single position, are involved in different projects and interact with different teams and departments. But how do we know what it is we are responsible for on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? It’s called a Job Description.

Job Descriptions are a management tool used to:

  • Outline expectations and accountabilities of what an employee should be doing.
  • Are a communication tool between employee and manager as a basis for performance reviews.
  • Describe duties and responsibilities to a job applicant.
  • Identify work flow and procedures.
  • Assess training and development needs.
  • Monitor changes in responsibilities.
  • Determine compensation classification and pay levels.

    There are various methods of creating job descriptions. Completing a job analysis is the best method of determining an employee’s exact role and responsibilities. The ideal person to supply these details is the person performing in the role. This can be accomplished in several ways.

    Human Rights Code: Bill 107?
    An Article by Claire Hanlon - Budziak

    According to the Ministry of the Attorney General’s news release on December 6, 2006; “Bill 107; The Human Rights Code Amendment Act, 2006 will bring the greatest changes to the Human Rights System in Ontario since it was created 44 years ago. It will improve the promotion, advancement, and enforcement of Human Rights in Ontario.”

    Practitioners in the field have been looking for changes to the system which until now has allowed the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) to decide if a complaint should be heard or not. The Human Rights Code will still assess discrimination based on certain specific grounds, however, under Bill 107 individuals who launch Human Rights complaints will now have a better opportunity to be heard by having their needs directly addressed through a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. Essentially, the individual will have his or her day in court if their complaint falls under one of the specific grounds.

    As for employers and service providers, the amended law plans to put a system of checks and balances in place based on research, public education, and monitoring. The Ontario Human Rights Commission is to become responsible for monitoring the system through addressing concerns around systemic discrimination, and the Commission is looking to direct its energies into inquiring into any matter if it believes doing so is in the public’s interest.
