         • Use this data to write recruiting ads.
         • Work sequencing
       • Job hazards
       • Primary reason for job existence

3. Write job descriptions

   • Identify what is essential vs. non-essential
     • Info from the ADA (https://www.eeoc.gov/facts/ada17.html) Whether the reason the position exists is to perform that function,the number of other employees available to perform the function or among whom the performance of the function can be distributed, andthe degree of expertise or skill required to perform the function. The actual work experience of present or past employees in the job,the time spent performing a function,the consequences of not requiring that an employee perform a function, andthe terms of a collective bargaining agreement.

4. Identify job competencies

   • Knowledge, skills abilities to do the job (KSA's)
     • The KSA's and TDR's should be used to determine job fit.
