    A legal definition stating that special training/experience/certifications is required for that job, vs “routine” job functions.

    For the guy at Amazon this could be fork lift certs, equipment certs, etc For the McDobalds worker this could be hazardous job training for chemicals, hot work, food prep/food handling training/culinary training, and maintaining the equipment.

    Note, both could have job responsibilities “beyond the normal range”.

    That is what is intended by the “skilled” description.

      I have provided labor to employers using specialized and advanced skills, though I had no formal credentials or training.

      Was I an “unskilled worker”?

        In a similar position, I’d consider myself a skilled worker in an unskilled role. I do work with hazardous stuff though, so maybe it is defined as skilled even though I didn’t have to go through hours of training.

          In my case the role was considered formally as skilled, but demonstration of aptitude on the site and from past engagements was accepted at evidence of my having acquired the skill.
