Liberty Enterprises is a small government contractor of specialized engineering products. Company facilities are located in Mobile and Dothan, AL Listed below are 10 benchmark jobs and their point values derived from an internal job evaluation of positions at Liberty Enterprises using the point method.

(a) Using a total point range of 0-1400, establish 7 pay grades of 200 points each. Label the pay grades W1, W2, etc., up to W7. This data (job points) will be the X-axis of your wage line graph

(c) Using Excel, SPSS, or another statistical program, determine the equation to
construct a wage line representing the relationship between job points and annual median market wage
for the AL data. Let “W” represent the median market wage and “P” represent the job points. The wage line will be of the form W = aP + b where “a” is the slope of the wage line and “b” is the constant (intercept of Y-axis).

W= 135.29 P=22569

(d) Based on the Excel trend lines in (c), which job(s) may be misclassified? Explain why you think misclassification exists, and identify what action the company should take?

(e) For each of the 5 jobs identified below (1) identify the wage grade and (2) calculate the estimated median market wage using the wage line equation for AL data.

(b) What concern(s), if any, do you have about the market “median”
wages displayed on O*NET?

(c) Which two jobs show the most significant difference in the market
wage between the U.S. and AL data? What factors account for
these differences?

(d) What is the Wage Line Equation for AL data? [W = aP + b]

(e) Based on the Excel trend line for the AL data, which job(s) may be
misclassified? Why? What action should the company take?

(f) For this exercise, should Liberty Enterprises’ wage line be based on
U.S. or AL data? Why?

(g) Using the AL wage line equation, calculate the estimated median
wage for each of the following jobs. [This approach is used to slot
jobs for which reliable market data may not be available.]

NOTE: Include with your response a copy of your original EXCEL or SPSS analysis showing the wage line graph for the Alabama data. Responses to other questions will not be accepted without the wage line graph.

[NOTE: O*NET annual median wages tend to be lower than those encountered in actual business organizations. For actual market pricing, salary data provided by a reputable consulting firm would be preferred. Such a survey will also reflect differences in industry, organizational size, location, etc.]
