Introduction An essential functions job analysis (EFJA) describes the classification/position and not the work of an individual person. It is a critical tool to use when determining if or how a candidate’s or employee’s work restrictions may impact the traditional physical/mental/emotional demands of the position. The EFJA assists the parties to determine where discussions relating to reasonable accommodation need to begin. It is intended to be a straightforward document providing the reader with the following: 1) core purpose for the position, 2) essential functions which are critical or fundamental to the successful performance of the position, 3) work environment and conditions where the essential functions are performed, 4) listing of skills and abilities that an individual must possess to perform the essential functions, and 5) the mental and emotional demands required to successfully perform the essential functions. EFJAs are also key documents to provide to physicians to ensure that they understand the position and can identify specific work restrictions or activities that may not be safe for an individual to perform.
