Not all jobs are suitable for job sharing. Job sharers must assume the primary responsibility for necessary reporting between themselves and their supervisor. The employees' job performance evaluations will, in fact, take into consideration their ability to effectively coordinate with one another and the supervisor. Upon the absence of one employee, the other must commit to providing coverage whenever possible. Job share partners should be capable of performing all job functions within a position.
Partners are normally responsible for all elements of the job.
Job share employees may work half-days, every other day, every other week, or whatever division the employees and supervisors believe best suits the job and operating needs of the department. Each partner should work half of the full-time position. Job share partners do not necessarily receive the same rate of pay. If an employee transfers to a job share position at a higher rate of pay than the other employee, the higher rate may be retained. In most situations, the partners will be paid equivalent pay.
