We use job evaluation to assess the relative value of roles based on educational standards, responsibility, accountability, complexity, and autonomy. This evaluation determines the role’s position within our pay structure. Starting pay for new starters is set within the evaluated salary range for the role and is determined by objective criteria including relevant experience, skills and market data. Job evaluation ensures that pay decisions are consistent and defensible.
