The
table to the right shows the steps involved in designing any
job based salary program. Simply put, the process involves
agreeing on what is to be valued, internally determining the
relative value of the job (of skills), obtaining the external
value if possible, and then resolving any differences in an
intelligent manner. The results may then be used to develop a
grade hierarchy and to determine pay ranges that can be used
to help determine salary levels in an equitable manner. All of
this must be done within a philosophical framework that is
consistent with the organization's managerial style.
