POSITION DESCRIPTIONS
Section 1. The Parties recognize that expanding the
knowledge and experience of bargaining unit employees is essential to meeting
the changing demands on the system.
Section 2. The Parties at the national level shall discuss and review
all bargaining unit position descriptions annually.
Section 3. Each employee covered by this Agreement shall be provided a
position description which accurately reflects the duties of his/her position.
Position descriptions shall be consistent throughout the Agency for facilities
of equal classification and similar function. If an employee believes that
his/her position description is not accurate, he/she may request a review by
the appropriate supervisor and be assisted by a Union representative. A
dispute regarding the accuracy of an employee's position description may be
handled under Article 86, Grievance Procedure, of this Agreement.
Section 4. The Employer retains the right to assign work; however,
other duties assigned by the Employer shall normally have a reasonable
relationship to the employee�s official position description. A reasonable
relationship does exist for such things as the technical functions associated
with training, briefings, quality assurance, and the technical functions of
staff support specialists. When it becomes necessary to assign duties that are
not reasonably related to the employee's official position description and are
of a recurring nature, the position description shall be amended to reflect
such duties.
Section 5. All proposed changes to the position description of
bargaining unit members shall be forwarded to the Union, in advance, for
comment and/or negotiations as required by law and pursuant to
Article 91,
Mid-Term Negotiations, of this Agreement.
