In the whole job evaluation approach, the job, not individual tasks, is rated on its relative worth in various categories. With this method, certain jobs may have an inherent bias due to preconceived ideas about complexity ipeople's initialreaction isthat thejob An might bevaluation ofabomb disposal officer. Most is worth a great deal because of the element of danger involved. When you evaluate the job on a "whole job" basis, that danger factor tends to expand into all the areas he rth of he in that you to rank inte job. in fact, agreat while, andtthedanger majority of the job may be very routine and non -dangerous. The task approach eliminates this type of halo effect because each separate function is evaluated. In our example, the bomb disposal officer would be given fairly high points for certain tasks like the diffusion of a bomb, but may receive routine marks for other tasks associated with eoilshe dsurveyed, The net result is toprovideamoreaccuratepoint total for all jobs For the reasons listed above, the committee felt unanimously that the CDC propo- sal offered COST OF THE PROPOSAL Many cities have called requesting to know the estimated cost per city of the CDC system prior to the December 4 meeting. At this time, it is not possible to give exact dollar amounts.

Additionally, there are some other factors that will influence the cost. There is a possibility that quite a large number of out -state cities will wish to use the comparable worth study that MAMA has developed. We estimate thadditionalay cipate.
