employee duties

Worker's assigned tasks

Employee duties are the tasks, responsibilities, and obligations a worker is expected to perform as part of their job.

These may be explicitly stated in a contract or job description, or implied by the nature of the position: Her employee duties include answering phones and scheduling appointments.

The phrase often appears in legal or HR contexts when clarifying what falls within someone's role: He was injured while performing his employee duties.
