Pay Equity ;
The priniciple of equal payment for work of equal value. It is the law.
In 1983, women were not equally paid the same as men. In 1998, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled that these female employees have been discriminated against over so many years and ordered the federal government to pay billions of dollars back in wages. Men and women should be paid equally and no discrimination should be held against women!
Employment Equility ;
The principle of equal treatment of all employees based on their abilities.
In 1995, federal government passed the Employment Equity act to correct discrimination by certain groups. Mostly aimed to protect women, Native peoples, people with disabilities and members of visible minorities. The Canadian military is an example of an organization that has not accepted women easily.
