Job Evaluation - update 8 June 2023

Job evaluation: take part with your colleagues

Job evaluation supports the council's commitment, to make sure everyone in the council is paid equally for equal work. Evaluating all jobs will produce a rank order which will lay the foundation for a new pay and grading scheme.

We need many of you to take part in job evaluation by telling us about your job, in your own words, following questions set out by the job evaluation scheme the council is using. If your job is listed below as a benchmark job (the most common jobs in the council), come along and talk about your job with your colleagues in a group interview.

Group interviews will involve small groups of up to five colleagues who do the same job, working together to answer questions about the role, facilitated by trained job analysts to capture the information.

How will you be supported?

You'll be supported by your line manager to take time off work (or be given time back) to attend the interview and the pre-interview briefing and completing a questionnaire.

The pre-interview briefing will provide you with more information about the job evaluation process and show you some sample questions, as well as time to look at the questionnaire.

Interviews take about a day to complete and should be scheduled during normal working hours.

Every effort will be made to schedule interviews in the city hub closest to your normal workplace.

Line managers and trade union representatives can attend the briefings.

You can ask a trade union representative to attend and support the group at the interview.

Any travel expenses will also be reimbursed, in the normal way.

How to volunteer

To take part, you must have been in the same job for at least two years, this is to make sure that you have experience of the full range of demands of your role.

Volunteer by talking to your line manager or emailing the job evaluation team at JE-SUPPORT@glasgow.gov.uk

Every job holder doesn't have to be interviewed, we need a representative sample of the workforce, therefore it is possible that if we receive too many volunteers you may not be needed.
