What is pay equity?

Pay Equity refers to the right of individuals occupying employment categories traditionally held by women to receive remuneration equal to that obtained by individuals occupying employment categories traditionally held by men.

The principle of Pay Equity goes further than just stating “equal pay for equal work”; it requires “equal pay for work that may be different but of equal value.”

An employer’s obligation increases with the number of employees in the company.
