There are certain broad principles which should be kept in mind before putting to job evaluation programme into practice. According to Kress these principles are following:
(1) Rate the job and not the man. Each element should be rated on the basis of what the job itself requires.
(2) The elements selected for rating purposes should be easily explainable in terms and as few in number as will cover the necessary requisites for every job without any overlapping.
(3) The elements should be clearly defined and properly selected.
(4) Any job rating plan must be sold to foremen and employees. The success in selling it will depend on a clear cut explanation and illustration of the plan.
(5) Foremen should participate in the rating of the jobs in their own departments.
(6) Maximum cooperation can be obtained from employees when they themselves have an opportunity to discuss job ratings.
(7) In talking to foremen and employees, any discussion of money value should be avoided. Only point values and degrees of each element should be discussed.
(8) Too many occupational wages should not be established. It would be unwise to adopt an occupational wage for each total of point values.
