Employment Job Descriptions

[parkfallsautomotive]

I have been working on job descriptions for my employees for quite some time now and am looking for anyone out there who may be using these in their business already. I am preferably looking for job descriptions for Apprentice, Journeyman and Master Technicians. If anyone has job descriptions they would be willing to share I would greatly appreciate the help. I am willing to share what I have so far also if anyone is looking for some ideas. You can email me directly at [email protected]

 

Thank you in advance for help, ideas or suggestions you may have.

I have a list on my computer that I'll send you tomorrow. I based it off my days in the union.

 

One piece of advise I would give. We had a problem employee. He was hired as a smog tech. We do about 60 sniffs a day and have 3 dedicated smog techs and 1 office personal.

 

There was a lot of downtime where the techs would be on their computer or on the phone. I never minded because the shop was clean and there wasn't anything to do. Well, the repair side was slammed like always and we asked the tech to help us move cars. He response was"that's not my job". Classy response.

 

Long story short,I cut back his hours, loaded him with work and made it so he wanted to leave. He ended up quieting about 2 weeks later.

 

Morale if the story. Now in all job descriptions in the employer hand book it is written that everyone is to do anything and everything for the betterment of the company when asked by management.

 

I don't abuse it at all but it has prevented that from happening. I have a full time janitor to clean up after the techs,a parts guy that gets the techs the parts, and a shuttle driver so no one ever has to do what they weren't signed up for. I don't believe techs should be asked to mop up the shop if they aren't getting paid for it. However, if I'm paying you then you better move a car or help out if I ask.

 

We've never had a problem except for the one guy but I learned my lesson.
