Reward Logic

Job evaluation you can explain, evidence you can rely on.

Reward Logic is a job evaluation platform for organisations that need to explain and evidence their pay decisions. Consultancies can run it for their own clients. Organisations can also have their own version designed and prototyped.

Three ways to work with Reward Logic

All three are built on the Reward Logic platform.

For organisations evaluating their own roles

Job evaluation platform

Evaluate roles with RDCI or a method designed for you, approve the results and receive reports automatically. Model your grade structure on the results and re-evaluate roles when they change.

For consultancies and reward advisers

Partner Edition

Run the platform for your own clients under your brand. Use RDCI or design your own method, set each client up and work with them in one place.

For organisations that want their own software

Prototyping project

Test your own job evaluation software before it is built. Your users help design a working prototype. The build price is fixed once you accept it.

Methodology design and grade structure modelling

Choose the method your roles are evaluated with, then build the grade structure your scores map into. Methods are tested on sample roles before they are published. Grade structures are checked against your evaluated roles before one is made active.

Dimension scores averaged then summed
No weights: every dimension counts equally
Checks
  • Run on every change. All passed
  • Edited descriptors reviewed for gender neutrality
Before publishing
  • Equality and methodology review recorded
  • 3 sample roles tested
  • Locked once published. Evaluations record the version used

Choose RDCI or have a method designed

Use RDCI, Reward Logic’s set method. You can also have a method designed for your organisation from three structures: Demand Focused, Demand and Contribution or EU Pay Transparency Aligned.

  • Choose the dimensions, their names and the number of questions.
  • No weights are set: every dimension counts equally.
  • An equality and methodology review is recorded before a method is published.
  • Every evaluation records the method version it used.

Score map
25 evaluated roles
Departments across the grades
Structure check
  • No grade holds 40% or more of the roles
  • No empty grades between the lowest and highest roles
  • Payroll Officer is 1 point from the G4 boundary
  • G8 has no roles yet: room for roles evaluated later
Test the boundaries

Moving the G4 boundary down by one point changes the grade of 1 role.

Boundary handling

Flag and review before the grade is confirmed, within 1 point.

Model your grade structure on evaluated roles

Build up to ten grade structures on the roles you have evaluated, compare them and make one active.

  • Set two to twenty grades with equal or your own score ranges.
  • Checks flag crowded grades, empty grades and roles near a boundary.
  • See how many roles would change grade if a boundary moved by one point.
  • Compare two structures on the same roles.

A method that separates what a role demands from what it contributes

RDCI evaluates nine dimensions. Five measure what a role takes from the person doing it. Four measure what the role gives back to the organisation. Each is scored on its own defined scale.

Demand

  • Thinking & Problem Solving
  • Pace & Time Pressure
  • People & Relationships
  • Impact & Responsibility
  • Working Under Ambiguity & Uncertainty

Contribution

  • Value & Purpose
  • Output Complexity
  • Organisational Reach
  • Accountability & Ownership
“A conceptually robust and innovative approach to advancing job evaluation methodology. Its potential to enhance fairness and address gender pay gaps in organisational pay practices is particularly compelling.”
Professor Stephen J. Perkins
Co-author of Reward Management

From role information to report

Every role follows the same steps. Each one is recorded.

  1. 1

    Submit role information

    Add the role details and any supporting documents, then assign an evaluator.

  2. 2

    Complete the survey

    The evaluator answers structured questions about what the role demands and what it contributes.

  3. 3

    Review and approve

    A Super User reviews the outcome, returns it with comments if needed, then approves it.

  4. 4

    Receive the reports

    Summary and full reports are produced automatically and kept with the role.

See it working on your own roles

A demo account includes two free evaluations, with or without someone guiding you through them. There is no obligation to proceed.
