Job Evaluation: A Guide to Achieving Equal Pay [Hardcover]

"This is the first book on job evaluation which focuses on equal value issues, dealing not only with job evaluation techniques but also with the practical implications of using job evaluation to achieve equal pay and provide essential data for use in equal pay reviews. In the light of increasing awareness of the need to take action to remove gender pay inequalities and the considerable work recently carried out by the Equal Opportunities Commission on developing equal pay guidelines and procedures for conducting equal pay reviews this is a timely book. I commend it to practitioners and trade unionists, indeed anyone who wants to do something positive about unequal pay." Julie Mellor, Chair, Equal Opportunities Commission
