Job Analysis:
Job analysis is the process of gathering and
analysing information about the content and the human requirements of
jobs, as well as, the context in which jobs are performed. This
process is used to determine placement of jobs. Under NU Values the
decision-making in this area is shared by units and Human Resources.
Specific internal approval processes will be determined by the unit's
organisational leadership.Job analysis defines the organisation of jobs within a job family. It allows units to identify paths of job progression for employees interested in improving their opportunities for career advancement and increasing compensation.
Job Description:
The job description is a
written statement that describes the work that is to be done and the
skills, knowledge and abilities needed to perform the work. Each job
has a description identifying the duties, qualifications,
decision-making, interactions, supervision received/exercised and
impact of the position. Where necessary, the description also
includes special physical or patient care requirements.
Job Evaluation:
A job evaluation is a systematic way of determining
the value/worth of a job in relation to other jobs in an
organisation. It tries to make a systematic comparison between jobs
to assess their relative worth for the purpose of establishing a
rational pay structure.Job evaluation needs to be differentiated from job analysis. Job analysis is a systematic way of gathering information about a job. Every job evaluation method requires at least some basic job analysis in order to provide factual information about the jobs concerned. Thus, job evaluation begins with job analysis and ends at that point where the worth of a job is ascertained for achieving pay equity between jobs.
