Jobscore assesses the various levels of skill that differing jobs demand to enable the duties of the job to be performed competently. Jobscore assesses further that jobs of equivalent overall skill requirement are of the same value to an organisation. This leads to the conclusion, incumbent performance aside, that jobs of equal value to an organisation, irrespective of their nature, be paid equal amounts. This is a view of absolute equity that Jobscore takes.
Differing jobs require differing ranges of skills and at differing levels. Jobscore makes an assessment of these possibly widely differing skills performed at differing levels to arrive at a single measure that can be used as a basis for comparison between the relative worth of jobs to an organisation. This measure is called job points. Imputed into this points assessment is a measure of the complexity of the organisation containing the job.
Importantly, this measurement must be of the job's requirements, independent of any consideration of any job incumbent, their qualifications or performance or salary level. These latter aspects are separate issues, usually addressed by the organisation's performance appraisal system and its salary structure and policy, and are considered in other NRC on-line systems.
