Create a Job Evaluation.

Why do I do this?

A Jobscore job evaluation measures the skills required to perform a job competently. The job evaluation points resulting from this measure indicate the relative worth of jobs to the organisation. It can also be used to compare jobs with similarly evaluated positions outside the organisation, and thereby make salary level comparisons.

Jobs require a range of skills to a lesser or greater degree and it is neccessary to identify these skills and determine the level to which they are applied in the job. The job skills examined by Jobscore cover the formal or equivalent education requirements, communication skills, job-specific technical skills, skills required to managing organisation resources, problem solving, and accountabilities of the position.

Steps to do this:

Access the Jobscore Main Menu.

From the Jobscore Main Menu, select the option 'Job Evaluation' to display the Job List screen.

On the Job List screen select the Company that contains the job to be evaluated.

Remaining at the Jobs List screen, click on the button 'Create a Job Evaluation', to display the Add New Evaluation screen.

The skill requirements of the job, and identifying information concerning the job for your own administration purposes, are initially recorded using the Add New Evaluation screen.

Notice that the upper left the screen shows the company number and name that contains the job to be evaluated.

This screen includes a column of buttons on its right-hand side which are explained below.

The screen provides for a unique identifying number within the organisation to be assigned to the job, as well as a job title.

Beneath the job identification information, eighteen skill types or factors that may be required by the job for competent performance are recorded.

Each skill type is graded into a number of levels. Select a level applicable to the job from the drop-down list attached to each factor. Record your selection by clicking the downward pointing arrow at the right-hand end of the box, then click on the required level.

To see a definition of each factor and its levels view the on-line manual by clicking on the Manual button located among the column of buttons on the right of the screen.

An example of a completed selection is as follows:

Once a selection has been made for each evaluation factor, click the Calculate button located at at the top of the column of buttons on the right hand side of the screen. The resulting evaluation is then displayed below the Calculate button - the calculated points are 635 in this example. The Calculate button will also check that a level has been chosen for each factor, and that the job has been assigned a valid number, and been given a title.

Save your evaluation by clicking on the 'Save' button. This will allow you to access the evaluation later should you wish to review or delete it. Clicking the Save button will carry check that a level has been chosen for each factor, and that the job has been assigned a valid number, and been given a title. The record will then be saved and a fresh screen will be presented should you need to enter details for another job.

Other buttons on the screen. In addition to the Manual, Calculate, and Save buttons, other buttons on the screen are:
