PayGrade Job Evaluation Software

What is the PayGrade job evaluation system?

Job evaluation forms the foundations of a robust and consistent reward framework, creating a better-informed, more flexible organisational model and reducing the workload for your HR team when it comes to making reward decisions.

PayGrade is a job evaluation software solution, designed by a dedicated team with decades of job analysis and grading experience. Leveraging their knowledge in a range of different organisations, the PayGrade job grading system utilises five key factors to rank jobs in relation to one another. This method identifies comparable roles and develops robust and informed pay and reward systems that improve key performance metrics like employee retention, satisfaction and engagement.

PayGrade job evaluation software is simple and easy to use. Honing in on a small number of key ranking factors and utilising an intuitive design, users can be up and running after only a half-day training session, in comparison to the week-long training regimes required for other software on the market. In addition, the simple and easy to absorb methodology creates an adaptable and consistent framework, making new job comparisons easy to include, regardless of whether they are internal or apply to the wider market.

PayGrade is delivered directly through the web, meaning that you can access it from anywhere – all you need is a browser and an internet connection.

Through flexible layouts and simple but effective system design, PayGrade is firmly positioned as an expert-level piece of job evaluation software whilst simultaneously remaining easily accessible and quick to learn.

Why use a job evaluation system?

Job evaluation offers your business a number of advantages:

• Forms the basis of a fair pay system that can underpin the existing or pending grading structure that you use to manage pay and benefits.
• Makes market benchmarking more precise and reduces the possibility of overpaying or underpaying your staff.
• Promotes pay transparency, allowing rational, consistent and transparent decisions to be made about roles.
• Helps you review your organisation's structure by highlighting the relationship between roles and their reporting lines.
• Allows you to identify overlaps and gaps in responsibilities between your business functions.
• Helps you to identify career, talent management and succession planning opportunities by mapping out the relative size of your roles and their responsibilities throughout the organisation.
