Final Adjustments to Be Made in April 2012
In 2011, Concordia made a request to the Pay Equity Commission to calculate the pay equity retroactive payments in installments. While awaiting a decision from the commission, and to follow through on its commitment to make the payments in 2011, the university made the payments in December 2011. These payments were based on installments with the clear understanding that should the commission not agree with the university’s request, the necessary modifications would be made at a later date.
In a preliminary notice from the commission, the university has been advised that its request to calculate pay equity adjustments in installments is not likely to be successful. As a result, the university has decided to withdraw its request in order to avoid further delays in finalizing payments to employees.
Therefore, the university is re-calculating the pay equity adjustments without installments. This means affected and eligible employees will receive the difference between the amount they received in December 2011 and the new calculation. Additional payments are expected to be made in April 2012.
Affected employees will receive a letter in March explaining their individual pay equity details.
