When a new job is created, it is very important to define the main requirements, content and goals of the job in a job description from the very beginning. An employee must have worked in the new job for a minimum of six months before a performance appraisal can be requested.

For a request to be considered valid, it must be followed;

1. New job description, dated and signed by the manager
2. A completed questionnaire that can be filled out below.

It is important that the email addresses in the application are correct and active.

1. Job evaluation consultants inform the relevant union that a request has been received.
2. Job evaluation consultants decide on the number of employees who will attend interviews based on sampling rules and assign contacts in municipalities to invite employees to briefing meetings and interviews.
3. Once the job evaluation consultant's proposal is available, it is submitted to the job evaluation committee/job evaluation executive committee for processing and approval.
4. The committee's findings are sent to the union and the human resources manager of the department/municipality, who must inform the employee/employees and the relevant party of the findings.

Job evaluations shall be valid from the time the job was created. If a job at the Association of Icelandic Local Authorities has been temporarily ranked higher by a provisional ranking than the result of a job evaluation, the ranking of the job shall be lowered in accordance with the result. This reduction shall take effect three months after the result is received by the municipality.
