1. JOB EVALUATION
Meaning:
• Job evaluation is a systematic technique which aims at determining
the worth of a job. It is a objective evaluation for ascertaining the value
of each job for fixing their remuneration. It rates the job not the man.
• It considers the demands of the job in terms of efforts and abilities
but does not take into account individual abilities and efforts.
• Once the worth of the job is determined, it becomes easier to fix the
wage structure that will be fair and remunerative.
