In thefirst article the links between job evaluation and wages were examined together with problems involved in work analysis and descrip tion. The more recently developed methods of job evaluation were also discussed.

The direct cost of such programmes, implementation and other problems together with an overview of the relationship of job evaluation to other personnel techniques is examined.
