The Supreme Court has ruled: employers are now obliged to evaluate the maintenance of pay equity on an ongoing basis.
Whereas employers were previously required to conduct a salary survey every five years, they are now obliged to carry out pay equity assessments on an ongoing basis. To comply with this legislative change, it is essential to set up salary scales. Failure to comply could result in a fine ranging from $1,000 to $45,000.
On the bright side!
- This legislative change could help you increase the retention and performance of your workers.
Good compensation structuring, with clear pay scales, enables companies to respect internal, individual, salary and external equity. - Research shows that a perception of unfairness on the part of employees is a vector for dissatisfaction, demobilization, reduced performance and even voluntary departure.
