The Salvation Army uses job descriptions to aid in various human resource functions. A job description normally is shared with the employee at the time of hire and a copy signed by the employee should be kept in the personnel file. It will help you and your supervisor to communicate about job responsibilities. However, these descriptions are not fixed organizational policy. They are guidelines and are subject to change. From time to time, you may be requested to perform duties and handle responsibilities that are not a part of your normal job description.
