work assignment
Job to complete
A work assignment is a task or set of responsibilities given to someone as part of their job or duties.
The term emphasizes that the work has been delegated by an authority—a supervisor, teacher, or institution—rather than self-initiated: She received a new work assignment on Monday.
In military and institutional contexts, work assignments may involve placement at a particular location or unit.
