This report is based on research findings indicating that many British colleges of further education have widely disparate salaries for professional staff members. Often salaries bear no relation to complexity of work performed. In addition, equal employment opportunity laws requiring equal pay for similar work may not be followed. A job evaluation scheme using rating points for various job functions and a typical position description resulting from the classification system are proposed. Following a description of the research project, the document includes the following: a sample job description detailing major tasks, job activities, and performance requirements; list of benchmark jobs; factor analysis of benchmark jobs; and the manual for the job evaluation scheme and the 10 rating factors--preentry qualifications, training period required, job knowledge required, particular skills, contacts and relationships, confidential information, effect of decision making, budgets/expenditure/income, managing staff, and health and safety.
