Job Levels

Top  Previous  Next

The Job Level Table organizes the points assigned to a job into points ranges or bands called Job Levels. After your organization has evaluated a number of jobs and determined the job evaluation point band structure using the Automated (Job) Questionnaire, the Job Level Table can to be customized to suit your organization.  This Administrative Function allows you to maintain this Job Level Table.

 

Note: During the initial installation of Encompassing Visions, this table is established with one default entry called ZONE01 with points range 1 to 9999. You will have to determine if you want to keep this entry as it is and build from it or delete it and start from an empty table. You can name your points ranges according to the terminology of your organization. E.g. Job Level 1, Salary Grade A, Point Band 1 etc.

 

From the Main Menu move the mouse over Jobs.  

Click Job Settings and click Job Levels.

 

Note: If an Alternate term for Job Level is established it will be reflected on this screen.

Consistency Check

 

Consistencycheck     JobLevelgap2

 

The Consistency Check is determined by the value of the Jobs>Job Settings> Job Levels> Ignore gaps in the job level list. To turn the Consistency Check on or off you have to change this policy.

 

When adding or editing a Job Level, the Consistency Check will ensure that:

the upper and lower values of different point ranges do not overlap.

there are no point gaps between the Job Levels.

all points fields (from or to) are validated to be 1 through 9999.

 

If the Consistency Check fails, a message is displayed giving you the opportunity to change the point band:

Editing Job Levels

 

Tip: Although you can edit the Job Level Table "From Value"  and "To Value" fields, it can be somewhat complicated because of the constraints you may want on the levels, the need to keep the levels from overlapping and the consistency checks performed by the system. You may find it easier to delete some entries prior to making changes. If you would like more information, please contact the Encompassing Visions support staff for assistance (techsupport@encv.com).

Job Level Group(s)

ENCV enables organizations to manage multiple pay lines within the software.  In the Job Levels table, several different and distinct point band tables can now be created to accommodate unique stakeholder demands and market realities.  With one approach to job evaluation in ENCV, results get tracked into the point band table corresponding to the job being evaluated.  This new functionality will increase efficiency and understanding by having one common ‘measuring stick’ to evaluate all jobs across the organization.  It will enable organizations to maintain each of the separate pay structures they currently manage, but now more easily because they are all in one place.  There will be no change or impact on employee compensation based on the pay band group their job description is attached to, unless the job evaluation result suggests a change is appropriate. It will enable organizational management the option and flexibility to explore moving towards a common pay line for all job families over time.  NOTE: This multi-pay band feature is enabled by Policy.  

 

 

If required, the organization may insert a Job Level Group if more than the default Job Level Table is required.

Administrator Notes:

This functionality is driven by the policy Enable Multiple Pay Band Groups? Selecting YES will allow you to assign different pay bands to jobs. (Administration>Jobs).
