Use the FES job evaluation information below. There are nine factors used in this factor evaluation system. Starting on Appendix 3 page 42 of the FES job evaluation information are details for each of the factors. Using the FES Job Evaluation Statement Formevaluate thePilot jobdescription below.

As an example, let us say you think the factor level which most fits the job description of a pilot for our first factor (knowledge required by the position) is level 2. If this were the case, you would give the pilot job 200 points for this factor. Once you had evaluated the pilot job for the factor of knowledge required by the position you would then move to Factor 2 (Supervisory) and evaluate the job on this factor. Let us assume you examined the different level descriptions of this second factor and decided it most fit the fourth level description and thus assigned the job 450 points for this level. In this manner you will go through the nine factors of the factor evaluation system and assign points to the pilot job for each of the levels. Once you are done you will total all the points from each level to arrive at a job evaluation score for the pilot position using the factor evaluation system.

APPENDIX 3 PRIMARY STANDARD

The Primary Standard serves as a standard-for-standards for the Factor Evaluation System (FES). Factor level descriptions for position classification standards are point rated against the Primary Standard. Thus, it serves as a basic tool for maintaining alignment across occupations.

The Primary Standard has descriptions of each of the nine FES factors and the levels within each factor as well as the point values appropriate for each level. The nine factors are:

Factor 1, Knowledge Required by the Position

Factor 2, Supervisory Controls

Factor 3, Guidelines

Factor 4, Complexity

Factor 5, Scope and Effect

Factor 6, Personal Contacts

Factor 7, Purpose of Contacts

Factor 8, Physical Demands

Factor 9, Work Environment

Also included in the Primary Standard is a master grade conversion table showing the total point ranges (based on sets of complete factors).
