Establishing Pay Rates
Step 1. The salary survey– Aimed at determining prevailing wage rates.
• A good salary survey provides specific wage rates for specific jobs.
– Formal written questionnaire surveys are the most comprehensive, but telephone surveys and newspaper ads are also sources of information.
• Benchmark job: A job that is used to anchor the employer’s pay scale and around which other jobs are arranged in order of relative worth.

Consulting firms
Its difficult to set pay rates if you don’t know what others are paying, so salary surveys, surveys of what others are paying, play a big role in pricing jobs. virtually every employer conducts an informal telephone, newspaper or internet salary surveys.

Professional associations.
Many employers use surveys published by consulting firms, professional associations, or government agencies.
For example the U.S department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Static's conducts three annual surveys: (1)area wage surveys; (2) industry surveys and;(3)professional,administrative,technical,and clerical surveys.

Step 2. Job evaluation– A systematic comparison done in order to
determine the worth of one job relative to another.
Compensable factor– A fundamental, compensable element of a
job, such as skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions.

Preparing for the Job Evaluation
Identifying the need for the job evaluation
Getting the cooperation of employees
Choosing an evaluation committee.
Performing the actual evaluation.
11–13www.BZUpages.com
Preparing for job evaluation (count’d) Identifying the job evaluation is not difficult.
For example, dissatisfaction in high turnover, workstopages or arguments may result from paying employees different rates from similar jobs.
Employee may fear that a systematic evaluation of their jobs may actually reduce their pay rates, getting employee to cooperate in the evaluation is important.
11–14www.BZUpages.com
Job evaluation committee
Choose a job evaluation committee, there are two reasons for doing so.
First the committee should include several people who are familiar with the job in question, each of whom may have a different perspective regarding to the nature of job.
Second if the committee is composed at least partly of empolyees,the committee approach can help greater employee acceptance of the job evaluation results.

Job Evaluation Methods: Ranking
Ranking each job relative to all other jobs, usually based on some overall factor.
Steps in job ranking:– Obtain job information.
– Select and group jobs.
– Select compensable factors.
– Rank jobs.
– Combine ratings.
11–16www.BZUpages.com
Obtain job information.
Job analysis is first step: job descriptions for each job are prepared, and the information they contain about the job’s duties is usually the basis for ranking jobs.
11–17www.BZUpages.com
Select and group jobs.
It is often not practical to make a single ranking for all jobs in an aorganization.The usual procedure is to rank jobs by department or in clusters (such as factory workers or clerical workers).
11–18www.BZUpages.com
Select compensable factors.
In the ranking method it is common to use just one factor (such as job difficulty) and to rank jobs based on the whole job. Regardless of the number of factors you choose, it's advisable to explain factor's) to evaluators carefully so that they evaluate job consistency.
11–19www.BZUpages.com
Rank jobs.
For example, give each rater a set of index cards from lowest to highest. some managers use an “alteration method" for making procedure more accurately.

Job Evaluation Methods: Job Classification Raters categorize jobs into groups or classes
of jobs that are of roughly the same value for pay purposes.– Classes contain similar jobs.
– Grades are jobs that are similar in difficulty but otherwise different. such as secetaries,mechanics.
– Jobs are classed by the amount or level of compensable factors they contain.
11–22www.BZUpages.com
Grade definition.
Written descriptions of the level of say,resposibilty & knowledge required by jobs in each grade. similar jobs can then combined into grades or classes.

Job Evaluation Methods: Point Method A quantitative technique that involves:
– Identifying the degree to which each compensable factors are present in the job.
– Awarding points for each degree of each factor.
– Calculating a total point value for the job by adding up the corresponding points for each factor.

Job Evaluation Methods: Factor Comparison Each job is ranked several times—once for
each of several compensable factors. The rankings for each job are combined into
an overall numerical rating for the job.

Step 3. Group Similar Jobs into Pay Grades
– A pay grade is comprised of jobs of approximately equal difficulty or importance as established by job evaluation.
• Point method: the pay grade consists of jobs falling within a range of points.
• Ranking method: the grade consists of all jobs that fall within two or three ranks.
• Classification method: automatically categorizes jobs into classes or grades.

Establishing Pay Rates (cont’d)
Step 4. Price Each Pay Grade— Wage Curve
– Shows the pay rates currently paid for jobs in each pay grade, relative to the points or rankings assigned to each job or grade by the job evaluation.
– Shows the relationships between the value of the job as determined by one of the job evaluation methods and the current average pay rates for your grades.

Establishing Pay Rates (cont’d)
Step 5. Fine-tune pay rates– Developing pay ranges
• Flexibility in meeting external job market rates• Easier for employees to move into higher pay grades• Allows for rewarding performance differences and
seniority
– Correcting out-of-line rates• Raising underpaid jobs to the minimum of the rate range
for their pay grade.• Freezing rates or cutting pay rates for overpaid (“red
circle”) jobs to maximum in the pay range for their pay grade.

– Firms pay CEOs based on the complexity of the jobs they filled.
– Boards are reducing the relative importance of base salary while boosting the emphasis on performance-based pay.

Compensating Professional Employees Employers can use job evaluation for
professional jobs.
Compensable factors focus on problem solving, creativity, job scope, and technical knowledge and expertise.
Firms use the point method and factor comparison methods, although job classification seems most popular.
