  3. Key Provisions PEA • equal work = equal value • Comparisons based on the value of the work: • skill • mental and physical effort • responsibility • working conditions • Measure of what the job is. • Gender neutral job comparison system. • The job rates of job classes are compared to determine pay equity adjustments. Job rate is the highest rate of compensation paid to a job class.

  4. Maintaining PEA • Responsibility for maintaining the Pay Equity Plan. • Pay Equity is not meant to be a one-time effort - the Act states that pay equity must be established and maintained. Maintaining means that employers must monitor changes in their establishments for pay equity implications. For instance, wage gaps between female and male job classes cannot be re-opened once closed, or new gaps created.
