Classification overview<\/h4>\n<p>According to this method, a predetermined number of job groups or job classes are established and jobs are assigned to these classifications.<\/p>\n<p>This method places groups of jobs into job classes or job grades.  Each level in the grade\/category structure has a description and  associated job titles. Each job is assigned to the grade\/category  providing the closest match to the job. Separate classes may include  office, clerical, managerial, personnel, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The classification of a position is decided by comparing the whole  job with the appropriate job grading standard. To ensure equity in job  grading and wage rates, a common set of job grading standards and instructions are used.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Advantages of classification<\/h4>\n<p>\u2022\tSimple.<br \/>\n\u2022\tThe grade\/category structure exists independent of the jobs.  Therefore, new jobs can be classified more easily than the Ranking  Method.<br \/>\n\u2022\tUses job families\/groups instead of individual jobs<br \/>\n\u2022\tMay produce same results as Point Method, but is less costly<\/p>\n<h4>3. Disadvantages of classification<\/h4>\n<p>\u2022\tClassification judgments are subjective.<br \/>\n\u2022\tThe standard used for comparison (the grade\/category structure) may have built in biases that would affect certain groups of employees (females or minorities).<br \/>\n\u2022\tNot useful when jobs are very different from each other<br \/>\n\u2022\tMay be confusing to employees about why jobs are included in a class<br \/>\n\u2022\tSome jobs may appear to fit within more than one grade\/category.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Process of classification<\/h4>\n<p>The following steps should be followed to introduce a job classification scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tSelect a representative sample of benchmark jobs covering all the occupations to be included in the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tAnalyze the jobs and prepare job descriptions.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tDecide on the number of grades required.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tDefine each grade in terms of discernible difference in skill and  responsibility.The lowest grade may cover simple work done under close,  supervision, and each succeeding grade will recognize a higher level of  difficulty, complexity or the amount of discretion allowed to make independent decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tSlot each benchmark job into a grade with reference to job and grade description.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tGrade the other jobs with reference to the benchmarks jobs and grade descriptions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourhrworld.com\/formats\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Job-Evaluation-by-Classification.doc\">Click Here To Download Job Evaluation by Classification<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Job evaluation by classification 1.
