    • 6. What is Job Evaluation?Job evaluation is a decision process of comparing one job with another job with the aim of establishing the relative importance of jobs within the organization. Job evaluation will provide an internally logical ranking of all jobs which will form the basis of the company’s salary structure
    • 7. Principles For Job EvaluationEvaluating the job, not the job-holder Evaluating the present job, not the future job Job is being carried out in a fully acceptable and competent manner Process of evaluation is based on given facts in the job descriptions. Evaluate the job based on the “primary responsibilities” and ignore the “special personal-to-holder responsibilities.”
    • 8. Job Evaluation : 3 Main MethodsQualitative Method (an example is the Job Classification Method and the Job Comparison Method) Quantifying the Qualitative Method (an example is the Point Method) Quantitative Method (an example is the Guide Chart Profile Method)
    • 9. Job Classification Method adopted by Academic Institutions such as UniversitiesJob Class A : Doctorate Degree with at least 10 years post doctoral experience plus relevant management experience (Faculty Head) Job Class B : Doctoral Degree with at least 5 to 10 years post doctoral experience (Full Professor) Job Class C : Doctoral Degree with less than 5 years post doctoral experience or Masters Degree with over 10 years post graduate experience (Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer) Job Class D : Masters Degree with 5 to 10 years post graduate experience (Lecturer) Job Class E : Masters Degree with 3 to 5 years experience (Assistant Lecturer) Job Class F : Masters Degree with less than 3 years experience (Teaching or Research Assistant)
    • 10. Job Evaluation: The Point MethodJob Evaluation Process 1. Form a Job Evaluation Steering Committee 2. Draw up a workplan for the exercise 3. Decide on the benchmark jobs 4. Decide on the job factors for the evaluation 5. Determine number of degrees for each factor 6. Prepare job descriptions based on job-factor format 7. Analyse each benchmark job in terms of factors and degrees 8. Decide on the weights of each factor 9. Determine the weighted score for each benchmark job 10. Slot in all other jobs into the job grades
    • 11. The Point MethodForm the Job Evaluation (JE) Steering Committee a. The Steering Committee should be chaired by the CEO with functional Managers/ Heads as members. The HR Manager should be the Secretary of the JE Steering Committee. b. If an external consultant is employed to assist in the exercise, then he should be designated as the advisor to the Steering Committee. The HR Manager should then double-up as the counterpart for internal skills transfer.

    • 14. The Guide-Chart Profile : Hay MethodThis method, first developed by Dr Edward N. Hay in the early 1950s, is essentially concerned with decision making and responsibility. Guide Charts were created in 1951 in client situations. Emphasis was placed on answerability for the consequences of decisions, the degree of freedom to take decisions and bring them to fruition, the degree to which there is prime accountability, as compared to shared or contributory accountability in a job.
    • 15. The Guide-Chart Profile : 4 Critical ObservationsThe most significant factor could be grouped as representing the knowledge required to do a job, the kind of thinking needed to solve the problems commonly faced, and the responsibilities assigned. Jobs could be ranked not only in the order of importance within the organization, but the distances between the ranks could be determined. The factors appeared in certain kinds of patterns that seemed to be inherent to certain kinds of jobs The focus of the process of job evaluation must be on the nature and requirements of the job itself, not on the skills or background or characteristics or pay of the job holder.
    • 16. The Guide-Chart Profile : Hay MethodThere are Three Factors with a total of eight elements which determine the value of different jobs. They are: 1. Know-How 2. Problem-Solving 3. Accountability

It is knowledge and experience in professional, managerial and human Relations activities necessary to fulfill the job. Know-How is measured in depth by eight degrees and in breadth by five degrees

Guide-Chart Profile Method : Problem SolvingWhat is Problem Solving The use of Know-How required by the job to identify, define, and resolve problems. “You think with what you know.” This is even true for the most creative work. The raw material of any thinking is knowledge of facts, principles and means. For that reason, Problem Solving is measured as a percentage of Know-How. Problem Solving has two dimensions: The environment in which the thinking takes place The challenge presented by the thinking to be done
    • 24. The Guide-Chart Profile Method – Problem-SolvingThinking Environment A. Detailed rules and/or rigid supervision B. Standard instructions and/or continuous close supervision C.

Adaptive – Situations requiring analytical interpretive and/or constructive thinking. Judgment is required V. Creative – Novel or non-recurring path-finding situations requiring the development of new concepts and imaginative approaches
    • 26. Guide-Chart Profile Method : AccountabilityWhat is Accountability? The answerability for action and for the consequences thereof. It is the measured effect of the job on end results of the organization.
