Get started on your pay equity plan by establishing a solid foundation
It is important to support the development of your pay equity plan by establishing a solid foundation.
Start by:
- Increasing awareness of pay equity in your workplace;
- Notifying employees;
- Establishing a pay equity committee; and,
- Gathering all of the necessary data.
There are seven key steps to creating and posting a pay equity plan.
Once you have the foundation in place, create a pay equity plan by following these steps:
- Step 1 - Create: The first step is to create job classes.
- Step 2 - Determine: The second step is to determine which job classes are predominantly female and which ones are predominantly male.
- Step 3 - Value: The third step is to the value the work done in each of these job classes.
- Step 4 - Calculate: The fourth step is to calculate the total compensation in dollars per hour for each of these job classes.
- Step 5 - Compare: The fifth step is to compare compensation to determine if there are differences in compensation between male and female job classes of equal value.
Once the pay equity plan is complete, post it by following these final steps:
- Step 6 - Prepare: The sixth step is to prepare the contents of the pay equity plan.
- Step 7 - Post: The seventh step is to post the draft and final versions of the pay equity plan.
Employers have three years, from becoming subject to the Act, to develop and post a pay equity plan for their workplace.
