1. HR management skills—Technical, conceptual and design, and business skills
2. SHRM 2018 Curriculum Guidebook—B: Compensation and Benefits

Assignment

Step 1. You decided to open a restaurant and pub, and you have five job categories:

• Owner/manager: You are the owner, performing all the management functions and also greeting and seating people as you oversee all activities.
• Wait staff: They take food orders and bring food to customers.
• Cook: They prepare the food.
• Helpers: They bus tables, wash dishes, help in food preparation, and bring food to some customers.
• Bartenders: They make the drinks for both the dining and bar areas.

Rank the jobs from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest-ranking job and 1 being the lowest.

Job	Mental Requirements (education, intelligence, and specialized knowledge)	Physical Requirements (effort such as standing, walking, and lifting)	Skill Requirements (specific job knowledge/training to do work)	Responsibilities (for equipment, money, public contact, and supervision)	Working Conditions (safety, heat, ventilation, and coworkers)
Manager
Wait Staff
Cook
Helper
Bartender
Factor Rank (1–5) Weight (100%)

• Step 2. Using the table, rank each job for each of the five factors commonly used in job evaluations.
• Step 3. The five factors are commonly weighted since some are more important than others.
  1. In the table in the row with the heading “Factor Rank,” rank the five factors from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most important and 1 being the least important.
  2. The five factors can also be weighted as percentages. For example, based on a total of 100%, the highest-rated factor could be weighted at 40%, then the next-highest could be rated at 30%, followed by 20%, and the other two at 5% each. Also include your percentage-based weights for each factor, as in the example.

People generally will not agree on all the rankings, and that is a major reason why there is virtually always a committee that conducts job evaluations.

Step 4 (optional due to difficulty). Assign pay values to each of the five factors and weight them to determine pay levels for each job.
