This document summarizes a seminar on job evaluation. It discusses the introduction, features, objectives, process, guidelines, and methods of conducting a job evaluation. A job evaluation systematically determines the relative worth of jobs by comparing job factors like skills, responsibilities, and working conditions. The main methods covered are ranking, grading, point, and factor comparison. Conducting valid job evaluations can help set fair wages and benefit both employees and management.
3. A job evaluation is a systematic way of determining the
value/worth of a job in relation to other jobs in an organization.
It tries to make a systematic comparison between jobs to assess
their relative worth for the purpose of establishing a rational pay
structure.

9. Finding the jobs
to be evaluated
Every job need not be evaluated. This
may be too taxing and costly. Certain
key jobs in each department may be
identified. While picking up the jobs,
care must be taken to ensure that they
represent the type of work performed
in that department, at various levels.
12. Evaluating jobs
The relative worth of various jobs in an
organisation may be determined by
applying the job evaluation method.
The method may consider the "whole
job" by ranking a set of jobs, or by
comparing each job to a general level
description.
13. Rate the job not the person or employee on the job.
Strive to collect all the facts accurately.
Look especially for distinguishing features of jobs and relationship to
other jobs.
Job evaluation must be conducting systemetically. based on factual and
accurate information.
The result must be fair ,rational and unbased to the individuals being
affected.
GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCTING

15. Ranking method
In the ranking method of job
evaluation, a whole job is compared
with others and rank is provided on
the basis of this comparison.
16. Grading Method
Job grading method also known as
job classification method
establishes various grades for
different categories of jobs. For
example, jobs of an operative may be
classified as unskilled, semi-skilled,
skilled and highly-skilled
17. Point Method
Point method of job evaluation is
widely used in business
organisations. It is an analytical and
quantitative method which determines
the relative worth of a job on the basis
of points alloted to each specific factor
of a job. The sum total to these points
allotted to various job factors is the
worth of the job. This total is compared
with that of other jobs and relative
worth of various jobs is determined
18. Factor
Comparison
Method
Each factor of a job is compared with
the same factor of the other jobs or the
key job either defined or existing one.
When all factors are compared, the
final rating is arrived at by adding the
value received at each comparison. For
this purpose, Benge identified five
factors – mental effort, skill, physical
effort, responsibility and working
conditions.
