15 CREATING A POSITION APPROVAL REQUEST FORM Field Name Position Function (required field) Appropriate Information Required The position function is a brief narrative picture of the job that explains why the job exists. It gives the reader an immediate impression of the position s overall role at the University. The position function should provide enough information to differentiate the job from other jobs. This section should never exceed three or four lines. Since brevity, accuracy and objectivity are primary goals in writing the position function, it is wise to follow these three basic rules: Essential Duties/Responsibilities (required field) Start with an action word (verb) Briefly explain what is done. Explain why the action is performed; in other words, what the position's primary purpose is for existing at MSU. Include the overall end result the job exists to produce. For example, the job purpose for a Director of Alumni Programs may be: Develops and executes MSU alumni activities and services so that alumni maintain close ties with the University through continued involvement and support. It would break down as follows: Action Word(s) Develops and executes. What s Done Execution of MSU alumni activities and services. Why or End Result - So that alumni maintain close ties with the University through continued involvement and support. Essential duties/responsibilities describe the major end results for which an incumbent is answerable or responsible. Because they represent the component parts of why the position exists, they support the position function and are vital to its achievement. The sum of a position s essential duties/responsibilities makes the position function statement happen. These are the specific results expected from the position on an ongoing basis. Here you describe the activities the employee performs and the results of those activities. Essential duties/responsibilities are accomplishments that must be achieved to call the position complete. Because of the emphasis on essential, there should only be four to eight essential duties/responsibilities for any position. 13

16 CREATING A POSITION APPROVAL REQUEST FORM Field Name Minimum Qualifications (required field) Appropriate Information Required Minimum qualifications should describe position requirements, not human characteristics. They are typically described in terms of experience or education. They define the minimum level of skills needed by an employee to perform the job and meet the job s standards. Experience. How long must the incumbent have worked in this type of position at other organizations or in closely related positions to perform this position? What is the mix between experience with any employer and experience at MSU or another University? Will ABD s (all but dissertation) be considered? Preferred Qualifications Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. Education. What does the job require in terms of formal schooling, training or knowledge of a specialized field? (Education includes any special licenses or certifications.) You should make the minimum qualifications conform with the essential duties/responsibilities. For example, if the position holder is not required to perform any duty requiring more than a college education, job specifications concerning a graduate degree can (and certainly should) be eliminated. Invalid job qualifications are of no use to anyone, and may actually end up harming the individual and MSU. Please select from drop down: yes, no, or not applicable. Preferred qualifications may be stated in this field. List the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to satisfactorily perform the job. List only non-discriminatory, job-related items. 14

17 CREATING A POSITION APPROVAL REQUEST FORM Field Name Working Conditions and Physical Effort Instructions for Applying Employer Pass Message. Employer Fail Message Restricted Clause App Types Accepted Additional VP, Dean, and Dept Head Approvals Documents which can be associated with this Posting Appropriate Information Required For each essential duty/responsibility, there are physical and mental abilities needed to successfully achieve the expected results. Physical abilities include things like: Lifting, pushing, pulling, and/or carrying a certain amount of weight. Standing, walking, climbing, stooping, crawling, and so on. Talking, hearing, and seeing (seeing may include color, depth and field of vision). Repetitive motions. Mental abilities look at: Reading, writing, and verbal communication. Problem solving regarding using math or logic. Example Working Conditions and Physical Effort statements are: Lifts 50 pounds frequently. Stands for periods of time up to two hours in length. Concentrates on documents for periods of time up to three hours in length. Types documents for periods of time up to three hours in length without a break. The importance of examining and describing physical and mental requirements has increased because of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This act requires most employers to modify those requirements, if such accommodations are reasonable, so that potential and current employees with disabilities can successfully perform a job. Documents that must be submitted should be included in this field as well as a statement for faculty and above outlining whether documents will be submitted online or to the Search Chair, along with the address where the documents must be submitted. Whether candidates submit their documents online or not for faculty and above positions, candidates SHOULD indicate their interest by applying for this position on online by completing a Personal Data Information Form. Maintained by HRM. Maintained by HRM Position is contingent upon the continued availability of funding should be selected from the drop-down if the position is funded from soft money. The appropriate application type should be selected according to the position being filled. For Faculty and above positions, Personal Data Information Form should be selected. These should be selected when more than one department head, dean, or VP are approving the PARF. For more information contact HRM at Select which documents can be associated with the posting. 15

19 CREATING A POSITION APPROVAL REQUEST FORM Waiver/Admin Transfer Request This section should be completed only if you are requesting a Waiver of Advertising (see link to Exceptions to Recruitment and Selection procedures) or an Administrative Transfer (see link to Administrative Transfer procedures). For Waivers, you must select the reason for the waiver or type of exception you are requesting. Business or Instructional Necessity - Conducting a full recruitment effort would have a seriously negative impact on the operational effectiveness of a department/unit or would violate a formal contractual obligation of the University. The waiver request must specify the business necessity reasons and the qualifications of the recommended candidate. Internal Recruitment Only - Under certain circumstances, a department/unit may desire to limit a recruitment effort to qualified applicants within the University and/or hiring unit. Internal recruitment efforts will be open to all permanent MSU employees and layoff applicants exercising preferential re-hire rights. Positions restricted to internal recruitment shall follow the same recruitment, referral and selection process as an external recruitment effort. Qualified, Diverse Applicant Pool (from a previous posting) A department/unit has recently conducted a full search that yielded a diverse applicant pool. A second opening in the same job title within a 120-day period would allow the department to make a selection from the original applicant pool. The Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion will review the demographic profile of the interview pool from the prior search and the qualifications of the recommended candidate. Diversity Opportunities - A waiver to achieve diversity may be granted to a department /unit based upon its capacity to recruit qualified people of color and/or women candidates, where there is under-representation of people of color and/or women in the department/unit workforce profile. Whether you are requesting an administrative transfer or waiver, you must provide a justification for your request (for waivers this should justify the reason for the waiver). All other information, as appropriate, should be completed. Then, you should click on Continue to Next Page. 17
