Pay Equity

The Ontario Pay Equity Act has been in place for more than twenty years. This legislation

applies to most private and public sector employers with 10 or more employees.

The purpose of the law is to address pay practices which result in female employees being

paid less than male employees in comparable jobs. This applies to both unionized and

non-union employers.

It is not unusual that employers are unknowingly in violation of the Pay Equity Act.

Some may have created a Pay Equity Plan years ago and have not fulfilled the

obligation to periodically maintain it.

Many smaller employers are unaware that they must ahieve a Pay Equity Plan if they

have had 10 or more employees at any time since 1987.

Today, these businesses still have legal compliance obligations under the Pay Equity Act

and there is no defense for non-compliance.
