The College evaluates administrative staff positions using the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT) Job Evaluation System.
Job evaluation is a method of systematically determining the level of a position within an organization according to the relative importance so that monetary values can be assigned. The evaluation process is structured so that it applies the principals of gender neutrality and equability. Job evaluation is not a measure of an employee’s character or job performance. The focus of job evaluation is on the position, not on the incumbent in that position.
A committee comprised of Human Resources leaders and other members of college administration meets monthly to review and evaluate new or revised job fact sheets.
Process for Job Evaluation:
- Managers should work with their HR Consultant when writing or revising a Job Fact Sheet (JFS)
- The HR Consultant will submit the JFS to the committee for evaluation
- The manager, with a copy to the HR Consultant, will be advised of the outcome of the classification review
