Job evaluation is a base pay method that focuses on evaluating a job's worth based on specific criteria such as complexity, skill, responsibility, and working conditions. It can lead to rigid job descriptions, where employees only perform tasks within their specific role, which can lead to the responses mentioned by employees.
