Job Evaluation & Job Grading

Job Evaluation – Overview

March 30 2010

Job Evaluation is a term used to cover a number of separate and distinct methods of systematically measuring the relative worth of jobs in an objective fashion. The objective is to rank jobs for the purposes of pay structure development. The relative ‘worth’ of jobs are determined based on relevant and agreed criteria in a systematic and consistent fashion. Ranked jobs are allocated into bands or grades for the purposes of pay determination. One of the key benefits of using a formal job evaluation or job grading system is that a good system, properly applied, lends consistency and credibility to the process of grade determination on an ongoing basis.
