What Is Joint Job Evaluation (JJE) ?
Job evaluation (JE) is a process to create a fair and objective wage structure . The JJE process is created jointly by CUPE and management with consideration of changes in job descriptions and responsibilities over time.
Job evaluation is a method of making sure that each job is recognized and appropriately compensated for duties and requirements. JJE considers job factors such as physical effort, experience, education, judgement, and others.
Job evaluation is designed to assess the job, not an individual’s performance. Negotiating the JE criteria is an ongoing process that we hope results in better and more accurate job ratings over time.
How Our JJE Works
CUPE and management negotiate, implement, and maintain a job evaluation program and a Joint Job Evaluation Committee (JJEC). The JJEC is comprised of four CUPE members and four employer representatives, who work together to consider job duties and responsibilities and rank a position into a pay band.
- New jobs are evaluated to ensure the job posting is accurate for the actual work performed.
- Existing jobs are reviewed periodically to ensure the job description matches the duties and responsibilities of the position, which may have changed over time, and to ensure the position is compensated fairly.
CUPE members have a say in the process by completing your Job Evaluation Questionnaire with your supervisor, which will then be rated by the committee.
How Do I Get My Job Evaluated?
If the job duties have changed, CUPE members or supervisors can request a position be re-evaluated by contacting HR to access the appropriate form.
