job evaluation

job evaluation
HR
a technique that strives to provide a systematic, rational, and consistent approach to defining the relative worth of jobs within an organization. Job evaluation is a system for analyzing and comparing different jobs and placing them in a ranking order according to the overall demands of each one. It is not concerned with the volume of work, or with the person doing it, or with determining pay. It is used in order to provide the basis for an equitable and defensible pay structure, particularly in determining equal pay for equal value. Job evaluation programs can be divided into two main categories: nonanalytical and analytical. In nonanalytical programs a job is compared with others as a whole, but such programs have a limited use, because they are unlikely to succeed as a defense against an equal value claim. In an analytical program, a job is split up into a number of different aspects and each factor is measured separately. The main types of analytical programs are factor comparison, point-factor rating, competency-based programs, and the profile method.
