This simulation assignment provides you for an opportunity to integrate key concepts from the course found in the text and exercises found in the course content section from each of the week(s) material to a practical setting. It is best to start this assignment early.

The job simulation exercise is an individual exercise. A heavy emphasis is placed on the quality of the response that integrates course content to each of the steps below. Be sure to provide a full rationale for each of the steps that follow. Integration of course material should be evident. References should be made to course material.

Step 1

Identification and Explanation of Compensable Factors (20 marks)

Discusses 8 or more compensable factors. The factors are supported by integrating core

knowledge from the course

Factors are relevant to the facts in the question

Step 2

Provide a measure (degrees) for each of the compensable factors (20 marks)

Identifies up to 4 measures (degrees) for each of the compensable factors

Each measure is relevant to the compensable factor discussed in step 1 and

Establishes a clear differentiation of each of the measures for all of the compensable factors discussed in step 1

Step 3

Weigh the subfactors

Subfactors are weighted with clear support (your rationale is explained fully) from the course material to align with key the importance of the roles in the question

Step 4

Evaluate the jobs, Assign a rating to each of the jobs

In one table to show each job title measured against all of the compensable factors. The final column should show a total of each job ranked from highest to lowest

Each of the jobs is assigned a rating using the measures discussed in step 2

An explanation is provided to a maximum of 75 words that supports your rationale for each of the 8 jobs

Jobs are correctly ranked from highest to lowest

Step 5

Assign pay grades to each of the jobs.

Pay grades are assigned to each job with a link to an industry source

A benchmark is research and referenced; evidence of market analysis was done
