Compensable Factors - How Many Compensable Factors - How Many Factors?Factors?
– ““Illusion of validity” - Belief that factors are Illusion of validity” - Belief that factors are capturing divergent aspects of a job and are both capturing divergent aspects of a job and are both importantimportant
– ““Small numbers” - If even one job has a certain Small numbers” - If even one job has a certain characteristic, it must be a compensable factorcharacteristic, it must be a compensable factor
