Hay Job Evaluation

[Defcon5]

I’ve been given the task of updating my teams role profile and presenting it to a Hay panel for review

Obviously I want to give us all a bumper pay rise

I’ve no experience of this process, I assume there is some kind of formula on which various factors are put into which gives a rating of some kind?

It’s been a while since I had dealings with Hay evaluations, but when I was it was all about points.

Points were given for things like budgetary responsibility, number of reports, authority levels etc.

The assessment is usually based upon:

- The knowledge required to do the job.
- The analytical ability needed to solve common problems.
- The responsibilities assigned.
- The working conditions associated with the job.

Assume you’ll be given a Job Evaluation Questionnaire to complete for each role to allow the assessment to take place. Or it may be that you’re just required to update a previous submission if one has taken place.

I used to work for an organisation that went through Job Evaluation which resulted in a significant number of people getting pay rises (IIRC 95% got an increase of some kind, 5% got a decrease but were on protected pay for 3 years with first dibs on redeployment). A few years later the organisation ended up being outsourced to the private sector, simply because the salaries were not viable. A few were kept on via TUPE but most ended up being forced to take redundancy.

Pay reviews cause nothing but grief in my opinion.
