# JobQueuePopHandler interface · @imqueue/job

Package: @imqueue/job 3.0.3 — generated reference, not hand-written

What a worker does with each job, and how it asks for the job to come back.

The handler's return value is the re-scheduling instruction, so the retry policy is written in the handler rather than configured on the queue. Pass one to [JobQueueWorker.onPop()](https://imqueue.org/api/job/latest/job.jobqueueworker.onpop/) or [JobQueue.onPop()](https://imqueue.org/api/job/latest/job.jobqueue.onpop/).

**Signature:**

```typescript
export interface JobQueuePopHandler<T> 
```
