Job Description:

Terms of Reference
15 June – 31 August 2015

Objective

Assist a team of professionals in the preparation of legal reports in English regarding national and international labour law in the Haitian context.
Review all reports produced by individual team members in order to ensure consistency and high quality.
Provide feedback to team members to help improve their reporting abilities and general understanding of how to report on legal enterprise level assessments.
Provide feedback to management on the performance of each team member in line with specified criteria, e.g., internal consistency, compliance with minimum content requirements, English, completeness (findings are sufficiently supported and explained), correctness of legal decisions, etc.

Tasks and Deliverables

1. Review and edit twelve legal reports developed by team members. This work will include 48 hours of work (approximately 4 hours per report). This work will entail completing a first review of the initial report draft, returning it to report authors with comments, and then following up on additional drafts until a final report is completed and ready for approval by the Program Manager. Feedback to team members can be by email but also should be via phone (Skype) and in person whenever possible to ensure development of personal relationships and trust that make interactive work easier over time.

Key considerations in conducting this work include:
• Ensure accuracy of findings and correct application of applicable standards, requesting additional information from report authors when necessary
• Ensure consistency in approach across team members
• Ensure quality of English language, as the reports are written by non-native speakers, but the general point of each finding must be clear to the reader
• Ensure the right tone of reports, with a focus on identifying all legal issues while also taking a partnership based approach

2. Provide input to the Program Managers as to key issues and successes in the reporting. Suggest ideas for how to improve reporting approach, style and other when needed.
