The purpose of The Outlook at Windhaven job descriptions is to describe the

basic function, major responsibilities / tasks and essential functions of each job so that

employees can better know what is expected of them. The descriptions also provide

information useful for recruiting, training and performance appraisal. The document does not

create an employment contract, nor does it modify the at-will employment status of all

employees.

A job description is not meant to inhibit employee creativity or innovation. The description

will be revised as job responsibilities change materially.
