The overall aim of job evaluation is to assess and evaluate the nature of the work to be done in a particular job, the key tasks to be carried out. Jobs are then placed in a ranking order matching them up against grades, job titles, salary scale. The establishment of proper wage differentials for company jobs is necessary to bring forth the required calibre of labour and to encourage men to train for skilled jobs. Moreover its necessary for the establishment of logical and practical company wage rate and salary schedules. In firms where such logical wage and salary differentials have not been established, compensation patterns are often irregular and chaotic since they will have evolved from traditional attitudes, arbi¬trary decisions, expediency, and favouritism. In such cases, jobs that call for greater effort, skill, and responsibility may pay less than jobs requiring fewer of these attributes; and individuals in the same or similar occupations may receive widely varying compensation.
