Job Evaluation, Salary Grading and Benchmarking
A structured, transparent remuneration framework plays a critical role in supporting business strategy, driving Employee engagement, and ensuring legal compliance. FvT Consulting partners with organisations to design, review, and align pay structures through job evaluation, grading, and benchmarking processes.
These services help businesses make informed, defensible decisions about pay, career progression, and workforce planning, reducing risk and building trust in reward practices.
Job Evaluation
We assist organisations in determining the intrinsic value of each role by conducting structured job evaluations. This process focuses on the requirements of the job itself, not the individual performing it, and takes into account factors such as decision-making responsibility, complexity, scope, accountability, and the qualifications or experience required.
By objectively evaluating roles across departments, businesses are able to establish internal equity, support workforce planning, and ensure compliance with legislation such as the Employment Equity Act.
Job Grading
We apply recognised grading methodologies, including the Paterson Job Grading System, to classify roles according to their relative complexity and value. The outcome is a clear job grading structure that supports consistent pay decisions, career pathing, and internal alignment across different business units.
Grading also assists organisations in clarifying organisational hierarchy and improving communication around roles and responsibilities.
Pay Structure Design
We support businesses in designing or reviewing pay structures that are fit for purpose and aligned with organisational goals. This includes developing salary bands linked to job grades, integrating pay progression models, and ensuring alignment with remuneration budgets.
Our approach balances internal equity with market competitiveness and provides a defensible basis for remuneration decisions, while supporting compliance with the ‘Equal Pay for Work of Equal Value’ principle.
Salary Benchmarking
Using reliable market data, we benchmark salaries to provide insight into competitive pay practices within relevant sectors. This helps organisations attract and retain talent, evaluate current remuneration levels, and address unjustified income differentials.
Benchmarking is particularly valuable during recruitment, restructuring, or when revising remuneration strategies to meet evolving business needs.
