For more information, please contact the Job Evaluation Reps. Jobs are evaluated against 14 elements, with different weightings. In all there are 50 questions or statements that are measured.

Information about the job can be gathered by a number of methods - by interview, from a job description or using a form developed for the purpose. The job is then scored by trained Role Analysts.

Final scores can be calculated by hand, but this does involve a lot of effort.
