According to the Pay Equity Act, every Canadian business with more than 10 employees must reach and sustain pay equity for all its employees.
In March of this year, Concordia’s Pay Equity Committee published the results of the pay equity exercise in which eligibility of pay equity job classes were identified. Since then, the university has been working diligently calculating the pay equity adjustments for eligible employees back to November 21, 2001.
In order to mitigate the financial impact on the university, a request was made to the Pay Equity Commission to calculate the retroactive payments based on instalments. Affected employees have until Thursday, October 20 to make comments on the request.
