Changes to the Compensation
of a Male Job Class

Increases to male job rates (includes changes to benefits) could impact on female job rates if these male job classes were used as comparators under the Job-to-Job method or if they were part of a representative group of male jobs under the Proportional Value method. For example:

SALES MANAGER:

The Sales Manager male job class was and still is the comparator for the female jobs of Administration Manager and Accounting Manager. The value of the Sales Manager job hasn't changed significantly but its job rate has increased several times over the years.

Pay Equity Maintenance - Concerns/ Impact:
Every time the job rate for the Sales Manager increased, the job rate of the two female job classes that were matched to it also received the same dollar increase retroactive to the date the male job received its increase.
