More JE News
Readers from Clackmannanshire have been in touch - about the council's new job evaluation (JE) scheme.
Many people are disappointed with their new grades - and have asked their trade unions for advice.
Apparently, the unions say the JE results are data protected - and that members are not entitled to know how other council jobs are scored and graded.
But this is complete baloney.
Job evaluation is not about the individual person - it has nothing to do with personal data - it's about the duties and responsibilities of a specific job.
If someone applies for a vacant post - they are entitled to know what the job pays - and how the job is graded - and what skills, qualifications or experience the job requires.
So, don't be fobbed off - people are entitled to know how the job evaluation scheme works - if this information is not released on request, why not submit a Freedom of Information (FOI) request?
