What is meant by the Hay Classification System?
The University’s represented employees in the Staff Association and Professional & Administrative unions are covered by a Hay Classification system, which uses a point factor method of job evaluation to determine the relative value of a job. The Hay method measures three factors common to all jobs – know-how, problem solving and accountability – and focuses on internal job relationships and maintaining internal equity. After applying the job evaluation instrument, the resulting points determine where a job is placed in the hierarchy of job classifications, with each job classification assigned to a salary grade within the overall compensation structure.
