Can LPs request changes to a generic job description?
The AJC encourages all LPs to review, acknowledge and provide comments to their supervisors or managers regarding there generic job descriptions.
Where you are of the view that the generic job description provided to you does not correspond to the work you do, you may ask your supervisor to consult the generic job description rated above or below your description level.
If you feel that another generic description better captures the work that your position requires including the work you are actually performing and you are unable to resolve your differences of opinion with your supervisor in short order, you have a right to grieve the content of your job description within 25 working days following receipt of the job description.
If you feel that none of the current generic descriptions captures the requirements of your position, then we recommend that you file a grievance to preserve your remedial rights and request that a new description be created. In such a case, the manager should write a unique job description in the new format for the position. The job description should then undergo a vetting and classification process.
For more information on how to get support to file a grievance, consult the AJC Representation Services Policy and complete and send an intake form to admin@ajc-ajj.ca .
