Reviewing Job Comparisons by Factor

Access the Work With Job Comparison by Factor form.

Job Evaluation Method

Enter a defined code (08/EM) that specifies the method or grouping that you use to evaluate the jobs within the organization. Suggested values are:

Blank: Simple subjective point system

E: Evalucomp method

F: Factor comparison method

P: Point factor method

H: Hay method

Job Evaluation Type

Enter a numeric code that determines whether job information is recorded using degrees or points. Values are:

1: Simple, subjective assignment of job points by each of the ten defined evaluation factors.

2: Detailed specifications of degree of difficulty or value to each of ten evaluation factors.

Factor Number

Enter a sequential number that identifies each job evaluation factor. Job evaluation factors should meet these criteria:

• Each factor must distinguish differences between jobs.

• Each factor must be common to most of the jobs being rated. A factor should exist in greater to lesser amounts so it is easier to measure factors within a job.

• Each factor should be assigned the maximum number of points in each of the 10 levels of degree.

• No factor should overlap any other factor.

• The factors chosen must be accepted by employees and managers.

• The number of factors used should be the minimum needed to insure a balance between completeness and simplicity in rating.

• The factor definitions should clearly and objectively define what is being rated so that all raters interpret the factor in the same way.
