From your first assignment, you have a job description that details the important tasks and duties and KSAOs for the job you analyzed. You will use that job title and job description for this assignment.
For Assignment 2, you will demonstrate your understanding of job evaluation and pricing jobs in three parts.
PART 1
Steps to Completion
Review the job description and determine the occupational classification of the job. The best place to start is: O*Net
Find at least 4 other jobs in that occupational classification that are similar to your job description. Write down those job titles.
Identify at least 3 compensable factors if you were to do a point factor job evaluation. For each of those compensable factors, write out the levels for the factor and assign points for the different levels.
NOTE, DO NOT USE WORKING CONDITIONS FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. You can use the following suggested table format. First, make sure you provide a clear concise description of the compensable factor. For each level, make sure you provide a clear concise description of the level. With three factors, you will have 3 of these tables.
COMPENSABLE FACTOR 1:
LEVEL
DESCRIPTION
POINTS
For each of the five jobs, you are to assign points for EACH of the 3 factors.
Total across each of the 3 factors for each job.
You can use the following table for steps 4 and 5
Factor
JOB A
JOB B
JOB C
JOB D
JOB E
e.g. Working Conditions
FACTOR 2
FACTOR 3
TOTAL POINTS
Prepare a 2-3 page discussion of the purpose and methods of job evaluation, the method that was used in this exercise, your findings, and the rank order of these jobs in terms of the points Discuss and explain whether you find the results to be reasonable and what other factors you could have used in the job evaluation. Be sure to use proper citations and references
PART 2
Steps to Completion
For the job that you use in Assignment 1, determine the market rate and explain how you arrived at that market rate.
For the job that you used in Assignment 1, set up a compensation structure with the following elements:
How many steps will you have for the job.
What is the rate range for the job
What is the rate for each step.
Discuss and explain, in 1-2 pages how you determined the market rate, the number of steps you would use, the rate range, and the rate for each step.
PART 3
Below is the GS Salary Table for the federal government. Answer the following:
What is the rate range for Grade 4?
What is the rate range for Grade 5?
What is the percentage grade overlap between Grade 4 and Grade 5?
What is the rate range for Grade 14?
What is the rate range for Grade 15?
What is the percentage grade overlap between Grade 14 and Grade 15?
Are the percentage overlaps between grades 4 and 5 the same as between grades14 and 15? What are the implications if the percentage overlap are not the same – what does it say for grades 4 and 5 and what does it say for grades 14 and 15?
