Here is the stated purpose of this website:

3. educating callers about self-employment options.

If you look down the left-hand side of this page, you will see “link buttons” entitled “Portals”. The first portal is entitled “Private Employers”. About one-third of the way down that page you will find a heading entitled “HR Information”. About two-thirds of the way under this heading is the information entitled “Job Descriptions”. I have taken the liberty of copying that section of the link page for you below because the information is so vital to the accommodation process. Also, please note the examples used.

JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND THE ACCOMMODATION PROCESS

Sometimes it can be overwhelming when trying to get a sense of the overall accommodation picture. A job description can be a constructive tool for exploring task-specific accommodation options. Often, it is beneficial to consider the specific tasks that comprise the job. This can help pinpoint what limitations are affecting an individual's job performance and what functions can be accommodated. Understanding an individual's functional limitations provides helpful clues when searching for accommodation solutions.
