The Pay Equity Office is mandated to administer the Act and as part of its mandate, randomly monitors the preparation and implementation of pay equity plans and processes.

In 2008, the PEO will be monitoring the retail and hotel/motel sectors in the Peel Region for compliance with the Pay Equity Act.

The Pay Equity office has a number of resources available on their website for employers and employees to assist them in delivering their obligation and rights under the Act, including a self-audit tool: "Compliance Self-Audit / Checklist and Responses (Private Sector)". You may also want to access the self learning modules that allow employers to develop a pay equity process for their workplace.

Welcome to the launch of the Pay Equity Office's newest educational program.

E-LEARN

• what you want
• when you want

We're launching our newest model of information delivery - online e-learning. This first series of training modules is targeted to small private sector employers. This set contains 15 training modules and a build-your-own interactive job comparison tool.

These 15 interactive modules are accessible from the Commission's website, within the e-learning section. Links to downloads, tools and resources are also available here.

The 15 modules contain topics that range from helping employers determine if they are covered by the Act or not, and explaining the concept and application of gender neutrality and pay equity. Each of the modules contains links to worksheets, notes and publications as well as to resources on the site. Our trainers also deliver tips and instructions, either from the presenter pane in the modules, or as standalone demonstrations.
