HRM.3:4.4 - Test comparisons and provide challenge

Apply the proposed arrangement to materially different jobs and cases, including a changed job, a new entrant, an established contributor, a person with an applicable adjustment and a relevant boundary case. Trace a difference to its stated basis. The purpose is not to force every amount to be equal; it is to identify unexplained, unsupported or impermissible differences and inconsistent treatment under the chosen rule.

Where a difference raises an equality or other institutional question, obtain the applicable qualified judgement and remedy. A statistical gap, a market story and a job-evaluation result have different evidential roles. Do not use one as a universal exoneration or verdict. Use HRM.4 for required participation, negotiation or contest. Allow correction of the work description and evidence, not merely appeals against an opaque final score.
