There are generally three methods used for evaluating jobs: 1.Ranking. 2. Classification. 3. Point method.

Prepare a short description of each method, including your responses to the following:

•What are the main features of each evaluation method? (In other words, what is a general description of each method?)

•Examine each method by looking at its potential downside. What are the essential weaknesses in each of these evaluation methods?

•Describe a situation in which each method would not be effective for a business. For example, when would ranking be either impractical or unfair?

When would the point method be too complicated to be effective in evaluating work for creating a salary structure?
