Joint Job Evaluation

Job evaluation is a province-wide, health care initiative that involves a joint effort between health-sector unions and the employers represented by SAHO.

Job evaluation objectively and fairly determines the relative (internal equity) value of jobs within an organization by a consistent and systematic study and analysis of the jobs using the four gender-neutral criteria of skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions. The principle of equal pay for work of equal value (pay equity) is achieved by ending gender-based wage discrimination resulting in the undervaluation of female-dominated jobs. The joint job evaluation process adheres to the goals of the province’s Framework for Pay Equity and Equal Pay for Work of Equal Value.

Job evaluation is not wage parity; it does not compare jobs with professions outside health care or with jobs outside the province.

Job evaluation is not a performance appraisal; it measures the tasks assigned to the position, not the performance of the individual doing the job.
