The main building obstruct in building up a market competitive pay  framework is to dissect the ramifications of the framework to the  business (Martocchio, 2010).

The destinations of  building up the pay framework ought to be in line and viably connected  to the association’s general targets.

The third step in building up a successful market competitive  framework is distinguishing the whole (Martocchio, 2010). This includes  breaking down the overarching circumstance as to the association pay  framework and how it differs from the perfect circumstance that you  might want to make. The forward advance is to recognize activity plan  for spanning the distinguished holes. Once the purposes of change  between the predominant framework and the perfect framework have been  distinguished one must create activity plan for tending to the current  whole (Martocchio, 2010).

The activity plan should center on the acknowledgment of the  objectives for building up the framework. The last advance is checking  and assessment. This involves making follow up on the procedure keeping  in mind the end goal to survey the proficiency and the viability of the  procedure.

Job evaluation process:

Single vs Multiple job evaluation techniques- can multiple jobs be  evaluated using the same technique? Can a single technique be used?

Choosing a job evaluation committee- this committee should know the  evaluation process with understanding each job in the company comprised  of supervisors, managers, seniority employees.

The training for employees to conduct evaluations- employees that are  conducting the evaluations need to know company objectives. They also  need to practice evaluating before applying.

Documentation of job evaluation plan- this will clearly state what  type of job that is being evaluated and can be in conjunction for  training and legal matters.

Communication with employees- the conductor of the evaluation will  communicate every step of the way to ensure that employees understand  and see the results.;

The compensable factors are; education, difficulty of duties,  responsibility, experience, consequences of error, supervision  exercised, supervision received, mental and physical. These factors can  “use benchmark jobs to develop factors and their definitions to select  jobs to represent the entire range of jobs in the company. Benchmark  jobs, found outside the company, provide reference points against which  jobs within the company are judged”(Martocchio, J.J. (2017).

The pitfalls that exist for organizations that do not follow this  process are; Budgeting, Job Descriptions, Personnel Utilizations and  Morale.
