Salary increases for women in professional jobs do not reflect their above-average performance. In white-collar jobs, men change jobs more frequently, enabling them to be promoted to higher-level jobs over women with more seniority. In blue-collar jobs, women tend to be placed in departments with lower-paying jobs.

  40. Compensating Professional Employees Employers can use job evaluation for professional jobs. Compensable factors focus on problem solving, creativity, job scope, and technical knowledge and expertise. Firms use the point method and factor comparison methods, although job classification is most popular. Professional jobs are market-priced to establish the values for benchmark jobs.
