Factors/Explanation of a Job Evaluation Scheme: A job evaluation scheme is “a method to determine the value of each job in relation to all jobs within the organization.” A job evaluation process is useful because sometimes job titles can be misleading- either unclear or unspecific- and in large organizations it’s impossible for those in HR to know each job in detail. The use of job evaluation techniques depends on individual circumstances. Job evaluation is often used when: establishing the relative value or size of jobs or roles, providing as objective as possible a basis for placing jobs or roles within a grade structure, making certain that consistent decisions will be made about grading jobs or roles, and certifying that
Classification Method

Job evaluation methods are methods used to help determine the relative worth of every job position in an organization. It is a tool that helps organizations to identify the responsibilities and functions of each job and how it compares to other jobs in the organization. By placing jobs into categories, organizations are able to construct pay scales that will help to reflect the worth of the job to the organization. This helps to create fairness to employees based on particular jobs and the jobs required skills, responsibilities, duties, and level of required knowledge. One particular job evaluation method used by organizations is the classification method. The classification method is a method that involves defining a number of types of jobs based on common factors such as: skills, knowledge, or responsibilities, and comparing the different job types with other jobs. Once the various types of jobs are defined, they are placed into different categories in which they are “best suited”. After jobs are defined and placed into categories, the categories are then placed in a hierarchy based on the level of importance to the organization. When an organization is using the classification method, it is important for organizations to consider the difficulty of work as well as the performance standards that are involved in a particular job before placing it into a category.
