Compensable Factors • Compensable factors- are the factors such as skills, responsibility, effort and working conditions that establish how the jobs compare to one another, and that set the pay for each job Skill Know-how Effort Problem solving Responsibility Accountability Work conditions
Preparing for the Job Evaluation • Its mostly a judgmental process which requires cooperation among managers • Choose an evaluation committee who will do the evaluation • Selects some compensable factors • Evaluate the worth of each job via one of the methods on the following slides
Job Evaluation Method 1:Ranking The simplest method of job evaluation that involves ranking each job relative to all other jobs usually based on some overall factor like “job difficulty”. • Obtain job information (Job analysis) • Select jobs (rank jobs by departments) • Select compensable factor (usually select one factors) • Rank jobs
Method 2: Job Classification Job classification is widely used method in which the raters categorize the jobs into groups. The groups are called as classes if they contain similar jobs or grades ,if they contain jobs that are similar in difficulty Way to categorize • draw up class description • Draw up set of rules for each class
Method 3: Point Method The job evaluation method in which a number of compensable factors are identified and then the degree to which each of these factors is present on the job is determined Assume there are five degrees of “responsibility” (compensable factors) a job could contain Calculate a total points
Method 4: Factor Comparison Definition • Factor comparison is a widely used method to rank jobs by a variety of skills and difficulties, then adding these to obtain a numerical rating for each job • With this method you rank each job several times—once for each of several compensable factors
Computerized Job Evaluations • Other methods can be time consuming • CAJE or computer automated job evaluation streamlines things • Simplifies job analysis • Increases objectivity • Manages data
