Clarifications
Common questions
What are essential functions under the ADA?
Essential functions are the fundamental job duties that the position exists to perform. Marginal functions are desirable but not critical. This tool starts from O*NET core tasks and importance rankings; you should still validate what is truly essential at your worksite.
Why separate essential and marginal functions?
Clear essential-function language helps hiring, performance, and reasonable-accommodation decisions. It reduces the risk of listing every duty as mandatory when some tasks can be reassigned or modified.
Is this a lawyer-reviewed ADA opinion?
No. It is an employer planning draft based on O*NET data and standard EEOC-style statements. Have counsel review before using it as the official description for accommodations, discipline, or litigation.
What should I do after generating the draft?
Edit company-specific duties, confirm FLSA status, walk the physical demands with a supervisor, then unlock and save the report. Pair it with the Job Risk Analyzer when you also need hazard and training context.
