4.2 Short Paper: Job Evaluation at Smith Upholstery 2 What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the simple ranking, alternate ranking, and point method job evaluation techniques? The internal values of a company are emphasized by compensation specialists using job- content evaluation frameworks to create a hierarchy of internal job roles based on their strategic importance to the business (Martocchio, 2019). With this strategy, they may keep pay levels consistent with market rates and align pay scales with organizational objectives. The point method, a strategy for evaluating the job's content, takes a quantitative approach to job evaluation. It entails giving aspects that pertain to the job numerical values, which are then added up to obtain the entire job value (Martocchio, 2019). However, this strategy has some disadvantages. As managers are in charge of determining the "compensable factors" that accurately reflect the range of occupations being evaluated, subjectivity is introduced from the start, making it subject to prejudice (Martocchio, 2019). The point approach also takes a long time to finish, frequently requiring months. All occupations are ranked in ascending order using the simple ranking strategy, a method for evaluating jobs (Martocchio, 2019). The quickness and ease of this method are two significant benefits. It thoroughly assesses every project and is especially appropriate for smaller businesses. The job ranking method classifies jobs according to their titles and importance (Rogers, 2022). It is a way for evaluating jobs. The volume of labor and total responsibility decide the ranking. This approach is appropriate for smaller businesses with fewer open positions (Rogers, 2022). As it evaluates occupations based on a single criterion by ordering jobs according to their extremes, the alternative ranking method for job evaluation closely parallels the simple ranking approach (Martocchio, 2019). The alternate ranking approach offers a quick and simple

The approach lacks neutral criteria, rules, and principles that could help settle disagreements among committee members (Martocchio, 2019). This restriction leads to an incomplete evaluation of job tasks. For instance, a company may base job rankings only on educational requirements. An associate's degree in communications, which might qualify a candidate for an administrative post, would not be equivalent to an associate's degree in nursing, which might qualify a candidate for a registered nurse's role in such a system. Additional aspects should be taken into account to produce a more thorough evaluation of work difficulty and pay. What problems may occur by following Robert’s approach? When using Robert's method, the simple ranking methodology could produce inaccurate results. This is particularly troubling because Robert gave Marco complete authority over this procedure, which may have introduced a large amount of prejudice. It is essential to take into account suggestions from managers and workers at Smith Upholstery in order to produce the most accurate rankings using the simple procedure. The method's simplicity makes it difficult to distinguish between different jobs with clarity. What do you recommend Marco do first? Why? Marco starts working on the affirmative action plan after implementing the straightforward ranking evaluation approach. According to Kenton (2023), Increasing employment and educational opportunities for people who are underrepresented in different facets of our society is the goal of a policy known as affirmative action (Kenton, 2023). It can be

The straightforward ranking system might not be the best evaluation instrument to assist the affirmative action plan. The point technique could give Marco a more thorough understanding of his duties and prospective organizational needs, which could be helpful in creating the affirmative action plan.
