The jobholder must complete the `review request form' (see downloads) to record why they feel the job overview does not reflect the skills, knowledge and responsibilities necessary to carry out the requirements of the job.

Where more than one jobholder exists for the job covered by the overview then the names of the other employees can be added with their consent to the review request form so that a collective approach is taken rather than numerous duplicates of the same issue.

This process should also be used where the job has changed since the original evaluation.

The jobholder should discuss the completed form with their line manager and both parties must sign the form. In addition the manager must indicate whether he/she supports the issues raised or not and provide any additional information to support their position.

The completed form should be sent to the Pay & Reward Team, Room 75, County Hall (emailed copies are acceptable where it can be seen that the relevant parties have seen the form i.e. email trail [email address] ). A moderation panel will consider all review requests.

A moderation panel will consider review requests based on the evidence/information supplied.  If no examples or evidence are supplied to support the jobholder's claim or where the evidence supplied is insignificant and would not affect the score, then this will also be fed back to both the jobholder and line manager. Where the manager and jobholder believe the feedback still does not accurately reflect the jobholder's role, then they may have an opportunity to re-submit the form, providing supporting evidence.

Where a jobholder is not satisfied with the outcome, they will have the opportunity to lodge a formal appeal, when the grade for the job has been announced.

The jobholder(s) and line manager will receive written notification of the outcome.
