CITY OF SANTA MONICA 1685 MAIN STREET, SANTA MONICA, CA ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS JOB ANALYSIS

Transcription

1 Introduction An essential functions job analysis (EFJA) describes the classification/position and not the work of an individual person. It is a critical tool to use when determining if or how a candidate s or employee s work restrictions may impact the traditional physical/mental/emotional demands of the position. The EFJA assists the parties to determine where discussions relating to reasonable accommodation need to begin. It is intended to be a straightforward document providing the reader with the following: 1) core purpose for the position, 2) essential functions which are critical or fundamental to the successful performance of the position, 3) work environment and conditions where the essential functions are performed, 4) listing of skills and abilities that an individual must possess to perform the essential functions, and 5) the mental and emotional demands required to successfully perform the essential functions. EFJAs are also key documents to provide to physicians to ensure that they understand the position and can identify specific work restrictions or activities that may not be safe for an individual to perform.

2 II. Essential Functions of Classification/Positions: Essential functions are the basic job duties that an employee must be able to perform, with or without reasonable accommodation. The following functions have been determined to be essential only after carefully evaluating them and determining: the function is the primary reason for which the position was established; removing the function would fundamentally change the position, or eliminate the need for the position; there is a lack of qualified employees available to perform such a function; and for some functions, there are severe consequences if the position is not required to perform the function and the function requires specialized expertise. Essential Functions will be reviewed for each incumbent and the above criteria will be evaluated to ensure that a particular function remains essential for a particular candidate or employee in need of accommodation.
