Non-analytical matching

This approach is based on a definition of the number and characteristics of the levels or grades in a grade and pay structure into which jobs will be placed. The grade definitions may refer to such job characteristics as skill, decision making and responsibility but these are not analysed separately. Evaluation takes place through a process of non-analytical matching or ‘job slotting’. This involves comparing a ‘whole’ job description, ie one not analysed into factors, with the grade definitions to establish the grade with which the job most closely corresponds. The difference between non-analytical matching and job-to-grade analytical matching as described above is that in the latter case, the grade profiles are defined in terms of job evaluation factors, and analytically defined role profiles are matched with them factor by factor. However, the distinction between analytical and non-analytical matching can be blurred when the comparison is made between formal job descriptions and role profiles which have been prepared in a standard format that includes common headings for such aspects of jobs as levels of responsibility or knowledge and skill requirements. These ‘factors’ may not be compared specifically but will be taken into account when forming a judgement. But this may not satisfy the UK legal requirement that a scheme must be analytical to provide a defence in an equal pay claim.
