Job evaluation - tell us about your job

The council is committed to resolving the issue of equal pay, making sure that everyone who works for the council is paid equally for equal work. Implementing a new pay and grading scheme and settling outstanding equal pay claims will end the equal pay litigation against the council. You can read more about this in the latest message from the Chief Executive here.

To design a new pay and grading scheme, we firstly need to evaluate a representative sample of job holders employed in benchmark jobs, to develop a rank order of jobs. Working out the rank order of jobs in the council family and designing our pay and grading to reflect this, will make sure that everyone is paid equally for equal work.

We need you to volunteer to make sure that a representative sample of job holders participate in the process.  All we're asking you to do, is talk about your job during an interview and complete a questionnaire beforehand.

As interviews continue, the job analyst team are also meeting with line managers and job holders to verify the information gathered at the job evaluation interviews.

How to take part

If your job is included in the list of benchmark jobs below, and you've not already been asked to volunteer by your line manager, this is your opportunity to tell us about your job in your own words. To take part, you should have been in the job for at least two years.

Supporting you

Everyone who volunteers to be interviewed is asked to attend a briefing session with their line manager to understand more about job evaluation. This could be on MS Teams or face to face in one of the job evaluation hubs in the city.

At the briefing staff will hear from the job analysts about the interview process and can ask questions and discuss any worries or concerns. When staff attend the interview, they can be supported by another person, like a trade union representative or a colleague.
