This document outlines the steps in developing a total compensation strategy and discusses internal alignment, which refers to pay relationships among jobs within an organization. It also covers job analysis, which involves defining jobs by their tasks and skills requirements. The results of job analysis are used to create job descriptions and for job evaluation. Job evaluation is the systematic process of determining the relative worth of jobs within an organization based on factors like skills, effort, and responsibilities. Several common job evaluation methods are discussed, including ranking, classification, factor comparison, and point methods. The point method breaks jobs into compensable factors that are scaled and weighted to determine total points for each job.
