Changes to Duties and Responsibilities
of a Job Class

Significant changes to the skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions of a job class could be sufficient to alter its value. In some cases, the changes are minor and so is the impact on pay equity. In other cases, a new male comparator may be required or a PV male wage line might need to be recalculated. For example:

ACCOUNTANT:

The Accountant male job class took on some duties of the Financial Analyst job when this job was eliminated. The Accountant job increased in value from 592 to 619 points. The Accountant job remained within the band of 550-624 points.

Pay Equity Maintenance - Concerns/Impact:
No pay equity impact, as this job was not a comparator for the two female jobs in the 550-624 point band.

CUSTOMER SERVICE CLERK:

One of the six Customer Service Clerks was assigned new duties and responsibilities. The job value increased from 391 to 415 points, moving the job up to the next point band. The male comparator in that band had a job rate of $24.00. The Clerk's current job rate was $19.00.

Pay Equity Maintenance - Concerns/Impact:
The salary range for the Customer Service Clerk job was adjusted by $5.00, retroactive to when the job changed. As this position was now in a different salary range, and the duties and responsibilities were significantly changed, this required the creation of a new job class. This new position was renamed "Customer Service/Team Leader".
