What we deliver: Defensible job architecture — role profiles, Paterson-led banding, remuneration alignment, and documentation that withstands audit, union scrutiny, and board review. Experience with recognised frameworks including Peromnes-aligned and Hay-equivalent work where the client environment requires it.

Engagement scope

  • Job profiling and role architecture
  • Paterson grading and band design
  • Salary benchmarking and band alignment
  • Organisational structure review
  • Board-ready grading reports and implementation pathways

Methodology note — Paterson and recognised frameworks

We lead with Paterson, widely used across South African corporates and the public sector. Where client environments already use other recognised frameworks, we bring practical experience with Peromnes-aligned and Hay-equivalent work — we do not claim ownership of those systems, nor Peromnes licensure or proprietary delivery rights.

Who this serves

  • Mid-market and enterprise corporates clarifying structure and pay equity
  • SETAs and public-sector entities needing audit-ready grading
  • Boards and EXCOs requiring a single, defensible framework

Board-ready JE + pay-band pack

Most organisations do not only need grades on a spreadsheet. They need a pack the board, RemCo, or validation committee can stand behind — profiles, grades, defensible bands, and a clear record of how decisions were made.

Divine ICTP delivers that as a named engagement: human job evaluation using Paterson and other recognised frameworks, salary-band framing, and a board-ready report and presentation. We do not sell grading software. Soft-touch work in a client’s existing Peromnes-aligned estate is available where that is already their language — we do not claim ownership of proprietary methodologies.

Deliverables:

  • Agreed scope: roles in / roles out, framework, and validation path
  • Role profiles suitable for evaluation and later hiring or redesign
  • Grades with rationale notes a committee can interrogate
  • Pay-band framework tied to the grades (client survey extract or agreed market path)
  • Board / RemCo presentation and written pack you can table
