Section 7 ) The band for jobs covered by this generic profile is band e.g.. The minimum total profile score falls below the band grade boundary. This is the result of using a single generic profile to cover a number of jobs of equivalent but not necessarily similar factor demand. It is not anticipated that any job will be assessed at the minimum level of every possible factor range. If this were the case it indicates that the job should instead be matched against a band profile. If this is not successful, the job must be locally evaluated. Page of
