In Nigeria and all over the globe, wage classification forms an essential part of the general condition of service that employers of labor make available to their employees. Employers sometimes fix wage artificially or negotiate with prospective emp0loyees individually and then strive hand to convince employees to accept that their salary are both fair and equitable.
Job evaluation seeks to determine the value of a job relative to other job within the same organization. The importance of that job to the organization as a whole can whereby be established so as to be placed in the appropriate position within an overall job grade structure. Job evaluation is not done in isolation.
Employee’s salaries should primarily be determined by the grade of job, followed by the worth of each job, and also considering the individuals worth. It is recognized that the three most important factors used in determining rates of job payments are
- What the firm can afford
- Existing market rates payable for similar work and
- The worth of the job in relation to corporate objectives.
In some business organization in Nigeria, relative worth of jobs are usually determined by the application of objective criteria or systematic principles, They are more often than not, determined by a host of extraneous and sometimes subjective factors such as kinship relationship, the impressions of top manager or the appearance or personalities of their prospect employees, the organizing power of trade unions, the bargaining skill of prospect employees, the impressions of management about the prevailing wage structure in the economy and so on. These approaches to the determination of wage rate may generate intense dissatisfaction among employees and invariably a fall in morale.
Job evaluation is an attempt to ascertain the worth of a job in order to attach monetary value to it.

- Are the fringe benefits relative to the employees output?
- Is there any equity between the salaries the workers of Nigerian bottling company receive and their work output?
