Framework

A method for comparing roles on the same basis.

blueprnt builds your job architecture in four steps. The result is an objective and consistent basis for pay mapping, in line with the principles of the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

The method

Four steps from criteria to levels

01

The base plate: dimensions

The framework starts from four fixed dimensions: competence, effort and complexity, responsibility and impact, and working conditions. They give every evaluation the same objective, gender-neutral basis.

02

The criteria library

From the library you choose 6 to 8 of 22 criteria, with suggestions for your industry. That way you bring out what your organisation actually values, whatever the sector or structure.

The evaluation model in blueprnt: the chosen criteria in four dimensions.
03

Weighting inside a fixed budget

Each criterion gets 1 to 5 weight points inside a budget of three points per criterion, so the criteria are weighed against each other rather than against a generic template. The model is approved against ten checks before it is used.

The weighting in blueprnt: each criterion's weight points and its share of the weighting.
04

Role evaluation and levels

Each role is rated one criterion at a time, and its level is shown only once the role is fully evaluated. The model computes the level from the weighting, and it cannot be changed by hand.

The evaluation of a role in blueprnt: level 6, and each criterion's contribution to the weighting.

Job architecture

The levels become your job architecture

blueprnt builds the job architecture and the level structure for you. Roles on the same level can be compared whatever their title or department, which is the basis for the analysis of work of equal value.

The job architecture in blueprnt: every level from 1 down, grouped into zones, with the roles on each level.
  • A shared basis for understanding pay differences

    When roles are evaluated consistently, it becomes clearer which jobs are equal or of equal value. That gives a more accurate basis for analysing pay differences and deciding which questions need further investigation.

  • Guided at every step

    The whole process guides the user step by step. The evaluations become transparent and explainable, and easy to follow for HR, managers and employee representatives alike.

From comparable roles to a pay mapping that holds.
