JOB EVALUATION

New guide to introducing job evaluation

Organisations are recognizing that job evaluation is an essential tool for the development and management of a logical, systematic and defensible approach to creating equitable pay structures and, importantly, dealing with equal pay issues, particularly those surrounding gender. That is the main message to emerge from a major new handbook on job evaluation, co-authored by e-reward.co.uk's Michael Armstrong.

This 220-page volume is a timely and practical book, which provides a guide to designing, introducing and managing job evaluation processes and the pay structures associated with them.

The guide covers:

  • the basic features of job evaluation
  • equal value considerations
  • equal pay reviews
  • planning and designing job evaluation schemes
  • guidelines on the introduction and management of job evaluation.

Written by four leading experts in the field, the book makes extensive use of the practical experience of its authors, who collaborated for over two years on a major job evaluation scheme for the further education sector. Without doubt, this is the most authoritative and up-to-date text on the subject.
