Pay Equity Maintenance: Turnkey Solutions for Employers
Why is a Pay Equity Maintenance Audit Required Every 5 Years?
Once the pay equity exercise has been completed, covered organizations are legally required to conduct a pay equity maintenance evaluation every five (5) years, in accordance with the Pay Equity Act. This evaluation aims to identify, document, and post any modifications or changes that have occurred since the initial exercise or the last maintenance evaluation.
Pay equity maintenance involves reviewing and assessing organizational changes that may affect pay equity, including:
- The creation, elimination, or modification of jobs or job categories.
- Changes to working conditions.
- The negotiation or renewal of collective agreements.
Employers must also determine:
- The number of required pay equity audits.
- Whether a pay equity committee must be established.
- The role of unions, where applicable.
When required, employers must form the appropriate pay equity committees and complete the necessary audits in compliance with legislative requirements. If wage gaps are identified, salaries for female-predominant job categories must be adjusted accordingly to restore pay equity.
Once the audit is completed, the results of the pay equity audit must be formally posted, as required by law. Our pay equity turnkey services support employers at every stage of the pay equity maintenance process, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and risk mitigation.
