Title:         JOB DESCRIPTIONS

Policy:   Job Descriptions will be prepared for all positions in
          the company to serve as an organizational aid for
          identifying experience or education requirements,
          delegating responsibilities, coordination and division
          of work and prevention of duplication of efforts.
          These descriptions are only guides and are not all-
          inclusive of a person's abilities or the requirements
          for fulfilling their position.

          Further, Job Descriptions are not intended to be used
          as work limitations or restrictions on employee roles.
          All employees are expected to be team players and to
          help each other and the company whenever necessary
          within reason and workplace safety guidelines.

Purpose:  To provide the methods for preparation and format of
          Job Descriptions.

Scope:    Applies to supervisors and the personnel department.


Procedures:

1.0  Preparation

1.1  Supervisors will be responsible for initiating drafts or
     changes to existing Job Descriptions.  Whenever practical,
     supervisors should interact with employees in developing or
     reviewing descriptions for accuracy and clarity.

     Job Descriptions should be current and appropriately
     represent the position and the needs of the company at all
     times.  Job Descriptions should be updated whenever
     positions, reassignment of duties, organizational changes,
     etc., are required.  Job Descriptions should mirror the
     growth and changes of the company.  Supervisors should not
     fall into a routine of allowing individuals or their
     operations to be governed by preexisting descriptions.

1.2  Supervisors should then work in conjunction with the
     Personnel Coordinator to finalize the Job Descriptions.  The
     Personnel Coordinator will be responsible for typing,
     printing and distributing completed descriptions.  Job
     Descriptions will be filed behind the respective
     department's organization chart in the Organization
     Structure section of the Company's Policy & Procedures
     Manual.

2.0  Format and Content

2.1  Job Descriptions should be prepared on the Job Description
     Format form (Exhibit 1).  Any unusual needs or requirements
     for the position should be added in a separate section.  The
     format outline should be completed as follows:

     Effective Date: - This is the latest revision date to the
     description or the implementation date.

     Title and Department: - The title should be short and simple
     yet as descriptive as possible.  The applicable department
     should be listed.

     Reports To: - The title of the immediate supervisor of the
                                                       position.

     Summary of Functions: - This should be a one or two sentence
     statement encompassing the basic function and objectives of
     this position and should enable anyone reasonably familiar
     with the organization to understand the primary purpose of
     the position.

     Major Duties and Responsibilities: - This section should
     describe with specific but with brevity, details of the
     major duties and/or responsibilities for performing the job.
     Whenever possible descriptive terms used should be related
     to the objectives or action of a particular function rather
     than to indicate merely what is done.

     For example, the statement "supervises personnel processing
     customer orders for shipment and billing" would be better
     stated as follows:  "supervises telemarketers in taking
     phone orders from customers and processes all orders within
     24 hours to ensure prompt shipment and billing."

     Organizational Relationships: - This section should outline
     the reporting relationships between this position and other
     key positions including supervisors and positions
     supervised.  This statement should also include the
     requirements for coordination with other positions or
     departments.

     Experience or Education - If applicable, indicate the
     minimum requirements necessary to be able to fill the
     position.  For example, this can include a description of
     the minimum years of experience or accomplishments in
     specific job categories or completion of degrees from
     colleges, technical or trade schools necessary to perform
     this job.
