Job evaluation

I hope this email finds you well. I am currently leading a job evaluation project and am reaching out to gather insights into effective practices utilised by various organisations.

We are particularly interested in understanding the following;

1. The methods and frameworks your organisation uses for job evaluation.

2. The costs associated with implementing these processes.

3. The benefits you have observed as a result of your chosen evaluation methods.

4. Any challenges you have encountered and how you have addressed them. 

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

1. We use the Greater London Provincial Council Job Evaluation Scheme relating to the evaluation, grading and pay of jobs covered by the NJC for Local Government Services. This scheme does not apply to teachers, uniformed fire staff, or Soulbury.

2. The job evaluation scheme and pay structure was implemented by Collective Agreement in July 2008, effective from 1 April 2007 therefore we do not have access to information relating to costs.

3. Job evaluation provides a systematic and consistent approach to defining the relative worth of jobs within an organisation and enables a fair and equitable rank order to be developed according to the level of duties and responsibilities carried out by the jobholder.

4. We have had no equal pay claims since the introduction of this scheme
