What Defines an Effective Job Evaluation Plan?
The essential characteristics of a job evaluation plan are: • It will be gender-neutral in its design, and will survive a test of its neutrality and freedom from associated biases; • It will be balanced, having an equal effect on women’s and men’s work; • It will be comprehensive, having a structure which will embrace as many aspects of the work done in the organization as possible; • It will be workable and comprehensible to those within the organization who will be in charge of making the job evaluation program work – management and union representatives; • It will be flexible enough to be tailored to the actual conditions of the workplaces concerned. The CUPE Gender-Neutral Job Evaluation Plan meets these criteria.
