What is Job Evaluation?
Job evaluation is a systematic review and
analysis of job responsibilities, relationships
and requirements in order to determine the
relative position of one job to another within
an organization.

Job Evaluation
Why Evaluate Jobs?
• Job Evaluation is a building block for other human resource functions such as:
– Attraction and Retention
– Training and Development
– Organizational Design
– Performance Management
– Human Resource Planning

Job Evaluation
Job Evaluation Principles
• Every job in an organization has value and purpose otherwise it would not exist
• A position in the context of an organizational structure is evaluated not a person performing a role
5
Job Evaluation
Objectives of Job Evaluation
• To establish a hierarchy of jobs or groups of jobs in the organization
• To provide a consistent approach to the way jobs are evaluated
• To recognize that similarities and differences among jobs is an important aspect

Job Evaluation
What is Management?
• Management jobs are roles that encompass the
management of an organizational unit or one or
more specialist functions in support of a government
program or ministry support service. They have a
role in making the decisions that establish the goals
of an organization and the method by which these
goals are pursued.

Job Evaluation
What Makes a Job Management?
To determine whether a job meets the scope of management, the
job is assessed against the following criteria:
Section 12(1)(a) of the Public Service Employee Relations Act:
“A person employed by an employer
(a) who has or exercises managerial duties and responsibilities in
relation to one or more persons or in relation to the formulation,
development or administration of policies or programs…
…shall not be included in a bargaining unit or any other unit for
collective bargaining.”

Problem Solving
• Measure of original thinking.
• Use of knowledge in an environment ranging from highly controlled to unstructured.
• Describes the thinking required in the job by measuring two dimensions:
1. Thinking Environment The environment in which thinking takes place. The freedom the position has to think.
2. Thinking Challenge The challenge presented by the thinking to be done. Are the thinking challenges well known and defined or are they new and non-recurring.

Factors
Accountability
• The degree to which a job is responsible for achieving results, and the importance of those results to the organization. There are three dimensions:
1. Freedom to Act: Freedom to take action or implement decisions. The nature and extent of the controls, or the lack of them.
2. Magnitude: The extent to which stakeholders are affected by the outputs.
3. Impact: How a job directly affects results.

Job Evaluation Plan
Evaluation Process
Job descriptions are an essential piece of information in the job evaluation process
A well written job description:
• Provides accurate and clear information about what the job does, how often and why
• Focuses on outcomes not a detailed list of individual tasks
• Includes an organizational chart that illustrates where the job exists within the organization
21
Job Evaluation Plan
Evaluation Process
Job information is documented on the Management Job Description form
Job information is reviewed and clarified, as required
22
Job Evaluation Plan
Evaluation Process
Jobs are evaluated using the Guide Charts
– each factor is rated and scored
– total points calculated
The job is compared to benchmark jobs with similar points to verify the rating
The job is allocated within the plan
Classification Appeals
• A Classification Appeal is a formal process by which
employees can appeal a classification decision of their
position by requesting another class in the plan.
• Step 1: Within 5 working days of receiving written notice of
the classification decision, an employee can request the
Human Resource Director undertake a review of their job.
– A department review is undertaken at the Ministry level.
– If the employee is satisfied at Step 1, no further action is
required.
23
Classification Appeals
• Step 2: An employee may appeal the departmental review
decision to the Management Job Evaluation Board (MJEB)
– Formal quasi-judicial process
– Independent third party review
Composition of the Board:
• Management – Peer Review, Chair and Two Members
24
Classification Appeals
The Management Job Evaluation Board (MJEB) will NOT:
• Consider comparisons to positions that are not benchmarks
• Alter the assignment of points on benchmarks
• Revise or establish new classifications
• Make a decision regarding jobs not under appeal
• Alter the MJEP guide chart
• Consider new responsibilities assigned to the job since the initial
classification decision was rendered
• Consider the qualifications of the incumbent
• Make any recommendations on pay
• Consider the assignment to an occupational family
