Quebec pay equity checker

Two questions in one. Are you covered by the Pay Equity Act, and when was your last exercise? The tool also works out the gap between two job classes, as a percentage and in dollars. It does not replace a pay equity exercise and does not pretend to.

Headcount is counted over the reference period, not on the day you read this. Both salaries are optional. Without them you still get your deadline.

Where you stand

Enter your headcount to see where you stand.

How this is calculated

What this tool does: the 10-employee threshold, the five-year cycle, and the arithmetic of a gap. What it does not do: decide which classes are predominantly female, evaluate their value, or validate your exercise. Those three questions decide your compliance and cannot be answered with four fields. The CNESST is the authority on the rest.

Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling

An exercise done properly settles the legal risk. It does not settle the sense of unfairness left in the team. A 30-minute call, free of charge.
