Document Summary
Chapter 8: evaluating jobs: the point method of job evaluation. Using the point method to design a job evaluation system. * the point method of job evaluation has many advantages, including its high degree of precision in measuring jobs. As a result, when properly designed, it can be applied with a high degree of consistency, removing one possible source of employee-management conflict. This system also provides not only an ordering of jobs but also the relative value of each job. Compensable factors: characteristics of jobs that are valued by the organization and differentiate jobs from one another. Compensable factors are based on the work performed, support the strategy and values of the organization, distinguish between jobs, and are acknowledged as significant by employees. *after the compensable factors have been selected and defined, a number of degrees are established for each factor, resulting in a measurement scale for every factor.
