What Job Evaluation Is and Is Not

¢ Job evaluation is a complete review of a position. It looks only at the work done by the position. It does not consider the individual in the position as it isn™t about performance of the individual, but the work necessary for the position.

¢ Job evaluation considers the contribution of the position to the overall organization, not a measure of the performance of the person in the position.

¢ Job evaluation is used as a measure to ensure internal equity of positions - that positions of relative contribution are compensated consistently, not a measure of salary competitiveness outside of the organization.

¢ Job evaluation considers the contribution of the position internal to the organization, not how others measure the contribution of similar positions to their organization.

¢ Job evaluation is a process that involves several components and related factors, not a manual with check boxes to finalize a rating.

¢ Job evaluation involves ongoing consultation and participation between the employee, supervisors and representatives from the Department of Human Resources. It is not one person in human resources making a final decision on the position without consultation.
