The Jobs settings control two things: whether job families are turned on, and how many value bands your job categories are grouped into. Go to Settings → Configuration → Jobs.
Only Owners and Co-Owners can change these settings. Administrators can see each job category’s score and band, but can’t change the number of bands.

Turn job families on or off

Job families are off by default. Turn them on here when you want to group positions by discipline and seniority. Turning job families off hides them, but keeps all your families, levels, and position assignments. They reappear when you turn job families back on.

What value bands are

Every job category has a Total Score. Value bands split the range of possible scores into groups, so you can compare job categories of similar value. A band has no name or number. It is identified only by its range of points. The bands are near-equal in size, not exactly equal. The range of scores rarely divides evenly, so band sizes can differ by one point.

Change the number of bands

1

Open Jobs

Go to Settings → Configuration and select the Jobs tile.
2

Enter the number of bands

Type a whole number from 2 to 10 in Number of bands. New accounts start with 5.
3

Check the preview

The preview shows the point range of each band as you type.
4

Save

Click Save. To undo your change, click Cancel.
Save and Cancel appear only while your entry differs from the saved number. If the entry isn’t a whole number from 2 to 10, Save stays disabled until it is valid. The change applies right away. You don’t need to recalculate anything, and every job category moves to its new band automatically.

How the score is built

The weighting of the four scoring factors is fixed, so you can’t change it. It follows the published EIGE scoring scheme, so it isn’t tuned to any one result.

Common questions

No. A band is identified by its point range only.
No. The weighting is fixed for every account.
Nothing is lost. Each job category keeps its score, and its band updates to match the new setting.

Job categories

Group positions by the value of the work.

Job families

Group positions by discipline and seniority.
