How does HERA work?
HERA is an analytical factor based job evaluation scheme. It aims to assess the relative value of roles in a consistent and equitable manner. HERA focuses on wider aspects of a role rather than on individual tasks and analyses roles based on fourteen discrete elements covering a range of duties and responsibilities. Comprehensive information is gathered on roles, using a variety of means which are currently being developed. Roles are then evaluated against each of the elements. Each element is scored, the scores for each element weighted appropriately, and then added together to give a total point score for each role.
