Pay Equity...

Pay Equity legislation addresses pay discrimination against female employees. The law requires that all employers pay female employees equally to their male employees for doing work of equal value. All employers with 10 or more employees must analyze their pay practices to positively identify and correct any discrimination. 

The legislation has changed in 2009. See our page on the changes.

Our Capabilities

Understanding The Act
The Pay Equity Acts in Ontario and Québec are a little different, and each has requirements that require careful thought.
 
Managing The Project
Pay Equity usually requires companies to undertake an analysis project to assure that they do not have any systemic discrimination that is not obvious.
 
Maintaining The Plan
Pay Equity is not a one-time effort. The basics must be maintained in the future, since the Acts are intended to provide a permanent level playing field.
