# Employment Screening and the Job Description Requirement

## When Employment is the reason

In the credit workflow, if Employment is selected as the reason for the search, the guide notes that the Job Description must also be uploaded.

## Why this matters

This is part of prescribed-purpose discipline. The reason selected for the search must match the actual business reason, and the related supporting requirements must be followed.

## Good practice

- Check that Employment is genuinely the correct reason
- Upload the Job Description when required
- Do not reuse employment-related outputs for a different purpose
- Keep your internal reference and Search ID for the case
