Pay Equity Act

Bill 25 modifying the Pay Equity Act was assented to May 28th, 2009. The objective of this Act is to redress differences in compensation due to the systemic gender discrimination suffered by persons who occupy positions in predominantly female job classes.

This Act amends the Pay Equity Act to provide that any enterprise whose number of employees grows to 10 or more in the course of a given year becomes subject to the Act from 1 January of the following year. The Act requires that all employers submit a report on the implementation of this Act in their enterprise, in the cases and subject to the conditions prescribed by regulation of the Minister.
As of January 1st, 2011, complaints may be filed against non complying employers.
