Currently, e-sonic employs 100 people and will be hiring many more. However, for the purpose of this simulation, you are asked to work with the sample of four jobs offered (see Appendix 2 for sample jobs, located in the MyManagementLab project tab). Limiting the number of jobs removes one level of complexity from the simulation and allows you to focus on learning the functions of compensation system design. The framework you develop classifying sample jobs can easily be adapted in the future to include all e-sonic positions.

Section 1 Outline:

1. Create Job Descriptions

2. Create Job Structures

3. Build Point Evaluation Method

a) Select benchmark jobs.

b) Choose compensable factors based upon benchmark jobs.

c) Define factor degree statements.

d) Determine weights for each compensable factor.

4. Calculate Point Values for e-Sonic Jobs

a) Determine point value for each compensable factor.

b) Use the job evaluation worksheet to calculate point values for each position.

c) Distribute points for each compensable factor across degree statements.

d) Rate jobs using point method. e) Individually rate jobs to ensure reliability.

f) Resolve any discrepancies in point totals.

g) Rank jobs in each job structure according to results of your point evaluation
