Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeff's task is to determine the compensable factors for specific lower-level jobs. This involves rating the worth of the jobs based on their specific factors such as skills, experience, and complexity. Conducting job evaluations or creating a job hierarchy are not part of Jeff's specific task. Writing the job descriptions is done by Sean who gathers and organizes information concerning the tasks and duties of specific jobs. Therefore, the best choice is C- rate the worth of the jobs.
