Criticisms
A criticism levelled against the Hay Guide Chart is that the choice of factors is skewed towards traditional management values:
"The Hay system consistently values male-dominated management functions over non-management functions more likely to be performed by women.”[2]
The Hay system does not account for the availability of alternative resources in the market. A carpenter may be classified as a low scale occupation, but if there are none available the method will not account for that.
In the EU, using a job evaluation scheme can provide a material factor defence for equal pay claims, but care must be taken to ensure that the scheme itself cannot be said to have a gender bias.[3]
