Government budget covering employees salaries

The above tasks included all the jobs and positions of the public administration with the exception of the judicial, educational and military corps. The work team completed the description of all the 15,000 jobs during 2002. Data-entry was done according to a specialized IT program. The main copies of these descriptions were submitted to the Civil Service Board.
At the beginning of 2003, the work team started the job evaluation process according to the responsibilities and main tasks of the jobs. The work methodology was based on an evaluation manual that was previously prepared by a group of local and foreign experts for this purpose. At the early stages of this process an international expert was recruited to assist the team in developing a numerical table for each job evaluation factor in order to give each job a numerical weight that would help in putting it in the right category.
In the presence of the expert, it was decided to apply the job evaluation manual in two pilot projects: the first was the evaluation of all grade one jobs in the public administration that had job descriptions; the second was the evaluation of all the jobs in the Ministry of Economy and Trade. The expert and the work team concluded that the work methodology was appropriate to reach the sought objectives.
Upon the departure of the expert, the team resumed the evaluation process in two phases. In the first phase, one of the team members would evaluate each of the job evaluation factors. In the second phase, the results of the evaluation would be reviewed by another team member who is an expert in that particular field to examine the accuracy and validity of the evaluation. During 2003 the work team completed the evaluation of all the jobs in the following ministries and agencies:
Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Social Affairs, Ministry of Energy and Water, Ministry of Pubic Works and Transportation, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Economy and Trade, Civil Service Council, Central Inspection, Court of Audit, and The Higher Disciplinary Board.
