Job Evaluation – The Point Method

You are to complete a job evaluation for a hypothetical organization using the point

method. Your organization must have a minimum of four jobs.

Follow these steps (and ask if you are unsure):

1. Choose an organization (e.g., restaurant, book store).

2. Choose a minimum of four compensable factors (factors we pay for – general such as
knowledge, experience, physical/manual demands, effort, skill, responsibility,
working conditions).

3. Determine the weight you will assign each factor (the weights must total to 1.00).

4. Define all four factors (e.g., mental requirements w “The level of general reasoning
required to understand and resolve situations that are encountered in the job”.

5. Assign the degrees (e.g., three to five) and assign point values to each of the degrees
(e.g., 10, 35, 100) for each of the four factors. The level of difficulty of the
compensable factor should be greater as you move up degrees.

6. Write the descriptions to match the degrees. For example, if “responsibility” is a
compensable factor, use “Must meet set standards of performance on tasks which are
of limited scope. Mistakes will result in limited financial expense” for a lower degree
and “Responsible for a major function of the organization” for a higher degree.
Ideally, any job in your organization can be compared to the descriptions to determine
the points on that compensable factor.

7. Create a spreadsheet following the “Sweets” example with the job titles listed on the
left column. Have two columns for each of the compensable factors. In the first of
these columns, place the points associated with the degree you believe that particular
job fits. In the second column, place the weighted value of those points. For example,
if you weighted a compensable factor .30, you would take the points associated with
that degree (prior column) times 1.3. This ensures more weight to those factors you
feel should be “worth” more.

8. Add the weighted factors for the compensable factors to get the total points assigned
to that job title (the worth of the job).

9. Assign a dollar value to each point (e.g., $50).

10. Take the dollar value assigned times the total points for the job to get the salary for
the job.

11. Rank the jobs according to “worth” (most to least). (You’ll find you may end up
changing points/levels/weights to meet your intuitive sense of what a job is worth.)
