The job evaluation process begins with a well written job description. It is a clear, precise, systematic and logical analysis of content, accountabilities and the objectives of a position. If there is no doubt in the mind of the reader about the nature of the job (i.e., what there is to do, how things are done and why the job exists), the job description is well written.

Each job is evaluated to determine the job's content or weight in terms of its contribution to the achievement of organizational goals. Based on this evaluation, the salary range for each job is determined.

Position descriptions explain to employees the role that their jobs play in the company's operation and the performance that is expected of them while they occupy those jobs. In addition, the description can be used as the basis for evaluating employee performance over a given period of time.

Position descriptions are also used for organizational analysis to determine how the unit is organized and whether accountabilities are grouped in the most effective manner.
