Job evaluation is the process of analyzing and assessing jobs to determine their relative worth. It involves job analysis, establishing job descriptions and specifications, and then systematically evaluating jobs based on factors like skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions. The main methods of job evaluation are ranking, classification, point, and factor comparison. Each method has its own process for evaluating jobs and grouping them into grades or pay scales based on their relative value to ensure fair wages. Choosing the right method depends on factors like the organization's size and needs.

3. What is job evaluation?
Job evaluation is the process of
analyzing and assessing the various
jobs systematically to ascertain their
relative worth in an organization. Job is
evaluated on the basis of their content
and is placed in the order of their
importance.

4. Job analysis is a systematic method for
establishing the duties and skill requirements of
a job in this field, as well as the type of person
who should be employed for it. This detailed
understanding allows HR professionals to craft
job descriptions, aid recruitment, and tailor
training programs.
Importance-

5. THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES -
 To gather data and information relating to job description,
job specification and employee specifications for various
jobs in an organization
 To compare the duties, responsibilities and demands of
a job with that of other jobs
 To determine the hierarchy and place of various jobs
in an organization.
 To determine the ranks or grades of various jobs
 To ensure fair and equitable wages on the basis of
relative worth or value of jobs.
 To minimize wage discrimination based on sex, age,
caste, region, religion etc.

7. METHODS

8. RANKING METHOD
This is the simplest, the most inexpensive and the most
expedient method of evaluation. Each job is considered as a
whole and is then given a ranking in relation to all other jobs. A
ranking table is then drawn up and the ranked jobs grouped into
grades.
The main disadvantage of this method is that it lacks
substantiating data for later use in justifying the relative position
given certain jobs. So this method is not suitable for large
organization.
Job title Grade Salary
Engineer 9 25000
Accountant 8 20000
Purchase assistant 7 18000
Machine Operator 6 15000
Office Boy 5 10000

9. CLASSIFICATION METHOD-
Classification systems define the value of jobs, people,
or teams with written standards for a hierarchy of classification
level. It involves only matching a specific job with a list of tasks
in a predetermined labor grade. Each grade has asset money
rate.
PROCESS:
1.Develop descriptions for a category of jobs—
job classes/grade
2.Develop standards for each category by describing the
key characteristics of those jobs in the category.
3.Match jobs to the categoriesbased on the similarity of
tasks.
RESULTS:
Job classes are classified like managerial , office clerical and
then jobs are assigned to these classifications.

10. ADVANTAGES:
 Jobs, people, and teams can be quickly slotted
into the structure
 Classification levels have face validity for employees
 Standards to establish value are made explicit
Disadvantages
 Many jobs, people, or teams do not fit neatly
into a classification level
 Extensive judgment is required
Differences between classification levels may not be
equal
 Creates status hierarchies within organizations
Extensive administration required .

11. POINT METHOD
The system starts with the selection of job factors,
construction of degrees for each factor, and assignment of
points to each degree. Different factors are selected for
different jobs, with accompanying differences in degrees
and points. The most popular number of factors is between
ten and fifteen .
Skill
 Education
 Experience
 Initiative & ingenuity
Effort
 Physical demand
 Mental and / or visual
demand
Responsibility
 Responsibility for equipment or
process
 Responsibility for materials or
product
 Responsibility for safety of others
Job Conditions
 Working conditions
 Hazards

12. PROCESS:
 A set of compensable factors are identified
 Assign points to a these compensable factors based
on the perceived importance to the job
 Once this is dine for all compensable factors, evaluate
the level to which each of these factors are present in
the job and assign points(weights) accordingly.
 The points for each factor are totaled to form a score
for
the job.
RESULT:
 Jobs are then grouped by total score and assigned to
salary grades so that jobs with the highest points
would have the highest pay.

• Unavoidable hazards 5 10 15 20 25

14. THE FACTOR COMPARISON METHOD -
This method is based on the assumption that all jobs
contain certain common factors to determine the worth of jobs.
These factors may differ in the degree to which they are present
in different jobs. Typically the number of compensable factors is
small (4 or 5).
PROCESS:
1. Select the set of Benchmark Jobs
2. Rank the Benchmark jobs on the basis of each
compensable factor.
3. For each Benchmark job, allocate market pay
across the compensable factor
4. Determine the pay for each job by adding up the pay
from each compensable factor.
RESULTS: Pay Range= Pay from skill + Pay from effort + Pay
from responsibility + Pay from working conditions

15. Advantages:
Analytical and objective
Reliable and valid as each job is compared with
other job
Disadvantages
It is difficult to understand and explain
Using the same criteria to access all job is not accurate
as jobs
differ within organization as with point method.
Time consuming and costly.

16. CONCLUSION
A job evaluation scheme should be
chosen cautiously. It should be devised
and administered on the basis of
employment market, demand for labor,
bargaining power of the parties & job
conditions.
