This article investigates the structure of gender bias in the Hay system, the dominant system of job evaluation. It shows not only how the system perpetuates gender-based occupational assumptions stemming from its origins in the 1940s and 1950s, but also how it conceals these assumptions under a veneer of gender neutrality. The Hay system consistently values male-dominated management functions over nonmanagement functions more likely to be performed by women
