Our automated job evaluation platform evaluates the job itself using a structured, consistent and objective methodology.

The result is faster job evaluation, lower costs, greater consistency and fewer grading disputes.

Job evaluation lays the foundation for a defensible, equitable, affordable, competitive and sustainable pay structure. Get job evaluation wrong and everything that follows in your pay structure is compromised.

You cannot afford to make mistakes at the foundation.

Why this band

The job interprets the plan set above it and decides how the work is done. It was held back from Band E because it does not set policy for the company.

Paterson decision bandsD4Band D, interpretive decisions
The wording behind it

“Approves spending up to a set limit without further reference.”

Independence of operation

“Supervises three accountants and one accounts clerk.”

The two methods

Two methods, one platform

Paterson or Castellion. You choose how the grade reads. Both systems in full. Each client picks one, and picks how much detail shows in the grade.

Paterson

Paterson decision bands

Six bands, A to F, set by the kind of decision the job makes. Factors are scored 1 to 9 and the points give the sub grade.

✓The band names describe the work, so staff follow it
✓Most salary surveys report pay by Paterson band
✓Band only, upper and lower, or three, four or five sub grades

The same job, 35 of 51 points in Band D, reads as D, D Upper, D2, D3 or D4 depending on the setting.

Castellion

Castellion points

Six weighted factors. The total runs from 4 to 1248 and gives a grade from 1 to 16.

✓Separates jobs that land in the same Paterson band
✓Labour, Standard, Senior, Executive, Top executive
✓Scores near a grade boundary are flagged

The same job, 446 points, reads as Grade 7, Grade 7, Senior or Grade 7, 446 points, whichever the client prefers.

Not sure which one fits?

Run the same job through both on the trial and compare.

Questions

What exactly does it grade?

The job, never the person. Performance, ability and who holds the job are not part of the scoring.

Which systems does it use?

Paterson decision bands and Castellion points. Both in full. Each client keeps one method for a whole structure.

Our job descriptions are poor. Is that a problem?

Every job description is rated and the report says what is missing from each one.

Can a manager question a grade?

Yes. They get a written answer with the factor scores and the sentences behind them.

What happens to our job descriptions?

They stay in your workspace. They are not shown to other clients and not visible to anyone you have not invited.

Can we switch from one system to the other?

Yes, but the whole structure has to be graded again. Grades from the two systems cannot be compared.

Still deciding?

The trial answers more than any call will.

Grade the job, never the person

Both systems, your own jobs, and a report at the end.
