Pathway for micro-organisations

In this pathway, you will be guided on using the Graduated factor comparison method for your gender-neutral job evaluation and classification. You will understand what information to gather and how to use the Factor and subfactor plan to evaluate and rank jobs. The pathway will also help you build a fair pay structure based on your results.

Best for

Very small organisations (fewer than 10 workers), with a limited number of jobs or similar job roles, often without formal HR systems.

Method

The graduated factor comparison, a light-touch approach using the four gender-neutral job evaluation factors (skills, responsibility, effort, working conditions). Jobs are evaluated and compared in a gender-neutral neutral way with minimal paperwork, but still with transparency.
