  9. Calculating Points • Maximum for each factor is the factor weight X the total points • Example: for Know-how .50 X 1000 = 500 • Minimum for each factor is factor weight X 100 • Example: for Know-how .50 X 100 = 50 • Interval points = Maximum - Minimum • # of degrees - 1 • Example = 500 - 50 = 450/3 = 150 • 3

  10. Skilled Based & Market Based Methods • Skill based: Compensates on the basis of job-related skills • Market based: Compensates on the basis of surveys determining going rate in area and profession
