Job evaluation is a procedure of comparing the content of jobs in relation to one another, in terms of their skills and responsibility. There is no standardised procedure for planning, installing and operating a system of job evaluation. Each scheme is tailored to meet the needs of the business concerned. An outline of the procedure involved in job evaluation is given below:
(1) Job Analysis—All necessary informations for job evaluation are collected through job analysis. Job analysis defines the activities involved. Job requirement, machines, tools and materials to be used etc.
(2) Job Description—The next step is an analysis and preparation of job description. Job description is very helpful in job evaluation because it defines the title of the job; analysis the job; states the responsibilities involved.
(3) Selection and Preparation of Job Evaluation Plan—Now a job is broken down into its component parts i.e. it should involve the selection of factors, elements needed for the performance of all jobs for which money is paid, determining their value and preparing written instructions for evaluation.
(4) Job Grading or Classification—This requires grouping or arranging jobs in a correct sequence in terms of value to the firm and relating them to the money terms in order to ascertain their relative value.
(5) Installation of Programme—Now the job evaluation is explained to employees and put it into operation. Programme is amended according to changing conditions and situations.
