Job Evaluation and Base Salary

The job evaluation processes used by HRP support the needs of today’s organization. HRP works with our clients to develop a job evaluation process that supports the business strategy of the organization. Broadly defined, a job evaluation process may consist of any of the following:

  • Market Pricing as the primary method of developing a salary administration program
  • Point Factor Job Evaluation – supported by the HRP Job Evaluation Kit™
  • Job Families that are differentiated by level of skill and provide a career progression
  • Role Based Career Progression supported by Competency Development and Broad Banding
