Job Grading
Job grading is the classification of jobs according to a job grading system such as Paterson, Peromnes, Hay, Castellion or simply a semantic scale describing occupational levels (e.g. top management, senior management, mid management, junior management etc).
Job grading systems are used by many organisations to measure jobs according to their content and to establish comparative worth between jobs.
How job grading will benefit your organisation:
- It shows seniority in an organisation and avoid misunderstanding in this regard;
- Helps to determine fair remuneration structures;
- Assists with Employment Equity and Skills Development by classifying employees correctly according to occupational levels as required by the Employment Equity Act (EEA) and Skills Development Act (SDA); and
- Facilitates the career development/succession planning process in the organisation by mapping out the different levels in the organisation as per the job grading system) and clearly shows progression through these levels.
