Spotlight on CAPE's Pay Equity Issue Page

The Pay Equity Act, which came into force in August 2021, requires employers to proactively establish a pay equity plan within three years. The purpose of the act is to ensure equal pay for work of equal value. If two different jobs contribute equal value to an employer’s operations, then the employees in those jobs should receive equal pay. Find out more.
