27 Miss. Code. R. 110-5.1.2
Each job classification shall have a unique role summary, which includes the minimum qualifications an individual should possess to perform the duties of the particular position at entry. Statements of job duties and responsibilities do not limit the authority of the appointing official to assign, direct, and control the work of employees. The use of a particular illustration of duties does not exclude others that are similar in nature, nor do the specifications dictate that each position allocated to the class will be assigned all the duties outlined. In determining the proper classification of a position, each class is considered to have entry-level characteristics as well as characteristics exhibited at full performance.
No minimum qualification shall be established which excludes individuals based on age, sex, physical requirement, or disability unless such qualification constitutes a bona fide occupational qualification necessary for performance of essential functions.
