Skill, effort, responsibility , and working conditions. Compensable factors are characteristics of jobs that are valued by the organization and differentiate jobs from one another. After compensable factors have been selected and defined, a number of degrees (or. Degrees represent gradations in the extent to which a certain factor is present in a particular job being rated. For example, five possible degrees or levels for the factor of consequences of error . Each degree needs to be defined and arranged so that degree 2 always contains more of that factor than degree 1. Job evaluation system is then applied to all the jobs covered: a hierarchy of jobs is generated, summarize the results of the job evaluation and hierarchy of jobs in a table. Job evaluation system is tested with validity(extent to which measuring instrument is measuring what it was intended to) and reliability.
