* It is the process of analysing and assessing the various jobs
systematically to ascertain their relative worth in an organization:
_+ Job evaluation is a process of finding out the relative worth of a
| job as compared to other jobs.
* Job is evaluated on the basis of their content and is placed in the
order of their importance.
¢ Jobs are evaluated and ranked and not the job holders.
_ Means to evaluate the job holder. Jobholders are rated through —
_ performance appraisal.Scope of Job
Principles Of Job evaluation are relevant to all jobs and in all
organizations.
However, practice of job evaluation is followed in only few
companies and that too for hourly rated jobs.
Where job evaluation is not followed, what is the system for
determining wage and salary differentials?
