The value of a job role, and the pay that’s offered, should reflect the responsibilities that come with the job, and not the person doing the job. Sadly, that premise isn’t always upheld.
Job evaluation is one of the key tools in ensuring equal pay for all, and in closing the gender pay gap - Kathie Dickson leads on equal pay and job evaluation in UNISON.
Kathie joins us on the UNISON Local Government Podcast to share how we’re fighting for our public sector workers to receive fair pay, regardless of their identity.
This episode of The UNISON Podcast covers:
What job evaluation is, and how the various schemes were devised
How job evaluation schemes are applied to ensure the right pay grades are assigned to each role
Key differences between equal pay and the gender pay gap
