Salary Reviews
We can design and implement a planned salary review, removing the gut feel and replacing it with a fair and consistent approach: guidelines and processes are put in place, jobs are benchmarked against market rates and recommended salaries are produced within budget.
N.B. Companies are legally obliged to review salaries regularly and with more companies being hit with an Equal Pay Claim it is extremely important to use a fair and consistent approach to the salary review.

Job Evaluation
Most successful Equal Pay claims occur as a result of the company not using an analytical job evaluation scheme to measure job size, and therefore jobs have been assigned to salaries or pay grades wrongly. Ashworth Black Ltd can work with you to design a bespoke analytical Job Evaluation Scheme to suit the needs of your company.
