Please provide a descriptive organizational chart below which tells:
1)	the position to which the incumbent reports,
2)	the position to which the incumbent's supervisor reports,
3)	other positions which report to the incumbent's supervisor, and
4)	any position(s) which reports to the incumbent
     

Please separate the duties assigned to this position into ESSENTIAL and MARGINAL duties.  All duties must fit into one of these categories.

A.	MARGINAL duties are those which are performed in addition to those which are essential.
B.	ESSENTIAL duties are those which MUST be performed; the REASON THE JOB EXISTS.**

**The definition of ESSENTIAL is critical because it serves as the basis for documenting duties inherent in the position.  This is used when considering the capabilities of individuals to perform the assigned work in job screening, referral, performance appraisal and classification studies, and in determining what, or if any, reasonable accommodations need to be made.

MARGINAL DUTIES:  
Describe each duty briefly but in enough detail to give a clear understanding of the work.  Please indicate how frequently the duty is to be performed (time per day, week, month, etc.) and the amount of time it will take to perform the duty.
