WHAT IS JOB
EVALUATION?
• Job evaluation is a process of analysing and assessing the various jobs systematically to ascertain
their relative worth in an organization.
• Jobs are evaluated on the basis of their content and are placed in order of their importance.
• According to Edwin B. Flippo, “job evaluation is a systematic and orderly process of determining the
worth of the job in a relation to other job”
• Kimball & Kimball define job evaluation as “an effort to determine the relative value of every job in a
plant to determine what the fair basic wage for such a job should be”
• It should be noted that in a job evaluation program, the jobs are ranked and not the job holders.
Jobholders are rated through performance appraisal.
OBJECTIVES

JOB EVALUATION PROCESS
4
• The job evaluation process starts with
defining objectives of evaluation & ends
with establishing wages and salary
differentials.
QUESTIONS INVOLVED IN JOB EVALUATION PROGRAM.
Several Questions are as follows:-
1. Which jobs are to be evaluated ?
2. Who should evaluate the job ?
3. What trainings to the evaluated needs ?
4. How much time is involved ?
5. What should be the criteria for evaluation ?
6. What methods evaluations are to be employed ?
5
METHOD OF JOB EVALUATION
Job Evaluation methods are of two types:-
Analytical method
• Point ranking method
• Factor Comparison method
Non-Analytical method
• Ranking method
• Job- Grading method
6
1. NON-ANALYTICAL METHOD
Ranking and job-classifications methods come under this category because they make no use of detailed
job factors. Each job is treated as a whole in determining its relative ranking.
1.A. Ranking Method.
This is the simplest, the most inexpensive and the most expedient method of evaluation. The evaluation
committee assesses the worth of each job on the basis of its title or on its content, if the letter are
available. But the job is not broken down into elements or factors. Each job is compared with others and
its place is determined.
Merits.
1. This method is simple and easy to understand and easy to explain to employees.
2. Less time consuming.
3. It involve little paper work.
Demerits.
1. It does not indicates the degree of difference between different jobs.
2. It involves subjective judgement, because a job is not analyzed and key factors are not considered.
THE FOLLOWING TABLE IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF RANKING METHODS OF JOBS
8
Rank Monthly Salaries
1. Accountant Rs 3000
2. Accounts clerk Rs 1800
3. Purchase assistant Rs 1700
4. Machine-operator Rs 1400
5. Typist Rs 900
6. Office boy Rs 600
Array of Jobs according to the Ranking Method
The variation in payment of salaries depends on the variation of the nature of the job performed by the
employees. The ranking method is simple to understand and practice and it is best suited for a small
organisation. Its simplicity however works to its disadvantage in big organisations because rankings are difficult
to develop in a large, complex organisation. Moreover, this kind of ranking is highly subjective in nature and may
offend many employees. Therefore, a more scientific and fruitful way of job evaluation is called for.
1.B. JOB-GRADING METHOD.
9
As the ranking method, the Job-grading method(job-classification method) does not call for a detailed or
quantitative analysis of job factors. It is based on the job as a whole.
The difference between the two is that in the job ranking method there is no yardstick for evaluation, while in the
classification method , there is such an yardstick in the form of job classes or grades. Under the classification
method, the number of grades is first decided upon, and the factors corresponding to these grades are then
determined. Facts about jobs are collected and are matched with the grades which have been established.
Merits:
1. This method is easy to understand and simple to operate.
2. It is more accurate and more systematic than ranking method.
3. This method is used in government offices.
Demerits:
1. It is very difficult to write accurate and precise description of job grades.
2. Some jobs may involved tasks which overlap more than one grades.
FOLLOWING IS BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUCH CLASSIFICATION IN AN OFFICE
10
a). Class I - Executives: Further classification under this category may be Office Manager, Deputy office
manager, Office superintendent, Departmental supervisor, etc.
b). Class II - Skilled workers: Under this category may come the Purchasing assistant, Cashier, Receipts
clerk, etc.
c). Class III - Semiskilled workers: Under this category may come Stenotypists, Machine-operators,
Switchboard operator etc.
d). Class IV - Semiskilled workers: This category comprises Daftaris, File clerks, Office boys, etc.
The job classification method is less subjective when compared to the earlier ranking method. The system
is very easy to understand and acceptable to almost all employees without hesitation. One strong point in
favour of the method is that it takes into account all the factors that a job comprises. This system can be
effectively used for a variety of jobs.
2. ANALYTICAL METHODS:
11
This includes the point-ranking methods and the factor-comparison method.
2.A. Point- Ranking Methods:
This method is widely used currently. Here, jobs are expressed in terms of key factors. Points are assigned
to each factor after prioritising each factor in order of importance. The points are summed up to determine
the wage rate for the job. Jobs with similar point totals are placed in similar pay grades. The National Electrical
Manufacturer Associations(NEMA), USA, has given the factors, degree and the point for hourly rated and
salaries jobs.
MERITS:
1. Point method is most comprehensive and accurate.
2. Assignment of point scores and money value is consistent.
3. Being the systematic methods, workers of the organization favor this method.
DEMERITS:
1. It is both time consuming and expensive methods.
2. It is difficult to understand for an average worker.
3. A lot of clerical work is involved in recording rating scales.

Point values for Degrees
Total
Maximum total points of all factors depending on their importance job = 540
1. Select Key Jobs:
• Identify key jobs.
• Determine common factors such as skill, effort, and responsibility.
2. Define Major and Sub Factors:
• Break down each major factor into sub-factors.
• Clearly define each sub-factor and rank them by importance.
Example factors:
• Skill: Education, experience, social skills, problem-solving, discretion, creative thinking.
• Responsibility/Accountability: Breadth, specialized responsibility, work complexity, freedom to act,
subordinate staff, accountability for equipment/products.
• Effort: Mental demands, physical demands, potential stress.
3. Assign Points to Jobs:
• Determine maximum points for each job by adding points for all sub-factors.
• Compare jobs based on total points (e.g., Officer: 550 points, Manager I Scale: 775 points).
4. Convert Points to Money Values:
• Translate points into monetary values considering wage rates.
• Conduct a wage survey to gather wage rates for key jobs.
Point Range Daily Wage Rate (Rs) Job grades of key bank officials
500-600 300-400 1 Officer
600-700 400-500 2 Accountant

800-900 600-700 4 Manager II Scale
900-1000 700-800 5 Manager III Scale

2.B. FACTOR-COMPARISON METHOD:
The Factor-Comparison methods is yet another approach for job evaluation in the analytical group.
Under this method, one begins with the selections of factors, usually five of them- mental health, skill requirements,
physical exertion, responsibility, and job condition.
These factors are assumed to be constant for all jobs. Each factors is ranked individually with other jobs.
For example, all the jobs may be compared first by the factors “ mental requirements”. Then the skill factors , physical
requirements responsibility, and working conditions are ranked . Thus a job may rank near the top skills but low in
physical requirements. Then total point values are then assigned to each factors. The worth of a job is then obtained
by adding together all together point values.
MERITS:
1. It is more objective method of job evaluation.
2. It is fairly easy method is flexible as there is no upper limit on the rating.
3. It uses limited factors (usually five).
DEMERITS:
1. It is expensive and time consuming.
2. Using the same five factors for evaluating jobs may not always be appropriate because jobs differ across and
within organization.
3. It is difficult to understand and operate.
THE STEPS INVOLVED IN FACTOR COMPARISION METHOD
1. Select Key Jobs: Choose 15-20 jobs across departments representing different wage/salary levels.
2. Identify Evaluation Factors: Determine evaluation factors such as skill, mental effort, responsibility,
physical effort, and working conditions.
3. Rank Jobs by Factor: Each committee member independently ranks the selected jobs under each
factor.
4. Assign Monetary Value: Assign money values to each factor and calculate wage rates for each key
job.
5. Apportion Wage Rate: Distribute the wage rate of each job across the identified factors.
6. Compare and Determine Rates: Compare all other jobs to the key jobs and establish wage
rates accordingly.

An Example of Factor Comparision Method
WAGE SURVEY:
Now that the job hierarchy has been established with the help of evaluation methods, next step is to fix the wages
and the salaries.
Some basic steps are being taken to set the wages for different jobs are as follow.
Step 1st:
Select key job, the duties of which are clearly defined, reasonably stable and representative of all levels of jobs.
Step 2nd:
A sample of firm in the labour market are must be chosen. The labour market for different job can vary from local to
regional to national in scope.
Step 3rd:
With both sample being selected, the final task is to obtain appropriate wage information, taking care to ensure that
the job comparisons being made are valid.
16
EMPLOYEES CLASSIFICATION:
The last phase in the job-evaluation process is to establish employee classification.
Employee classification is the process of assigning a job title to every employee in the
organization. For clearly definable jobs, employee classification is easy.
For example, the cashier in a bank. The cashier’s job is to handle cash and not to maintain
ledgers.
Employee classifications typically refer to categories or types of employees within an
organization, often based on factors such as job duties, employment status, or compensation
structure. Here are some common classifications

CONCLUSION
• Job Evaluation:
Job evaluation is a process of analysing and assessing the various jobs systematically to ascertain
their relative worth in an organization
• Job Evaluation Process:
It starts with objectives of evaluation & ends at Employees classification.
• Job Evaluation Methods:
• Wage Survey:
A wage survey of job evaluation gathers data on compensation for different positions, informing
fair pay and competitiveness.
• Employees Classification:
Employee classification is the process of assigning a job title to every employee in the
organization. For clearly definable jobs, employee classification is easy.
