Job Classification

Job classification is the process of grouping jobs into predefined categories based on factors such as skill level, responsibilities, and pay scale. It is used to create a structured hierarchy within an organization and ensure fair and competitive compensation.

HR professionals use job classification to maintain consistency in salary structures and career progression paths. A well-defined classification system helps in performance evaluation, workforce planning, and internal mobility.
