Job Evaluation System Factors, Ratings, and Framework

Nine compensable factors are rated as part of the Job Evaluation System classification analysis process using the Position Description Questionnaire.  The factors are:

  1. Knowledge
  2. Interpersonal Skills
  3. Physical Effort
  4. Concentration
  5. Complexity
  6. Accountability/Decision Making
  7. Impact
  8. Development and Leadership of Others
  9. Environmental Working Conditions

The links below provide additional information on the range of ratings that can be assigned to each compensable factor as well as the weighting associated with each factor.

The Compensable Factor Point Matrix below is a summary of the nine factors, including assigned weighting, rating scale, and associated point values.

Points awarded for each of the nine factors are added together and the total points fall within a range on the Job Evaluation System Pay Grid. A position is then awarded a classification and pay level that falls within the point range on the Pay Grid.

Job Evaluation System Pay Grids for all pay levels are available by viewing the following links):
