NOTE 1:

Federal vs Provincially Regulated Employers

• federal departments, agencies and Crown corporations
  
  
• chartered banks
  
  
• airlines
  
  
• television and radio stations
  
  
• interprovincial communications and telephone companies
  
  
• buses and railways that travel between provinces
  
  
• First Nations
  
  
• other federally regulated industries, such as certain mining operations
  
  

If none of the above applies, your company is likely a provincially regulated employer.

A number of the other provinces have pay equity laws. While only Ontario and Quebec have laws that require private sector employers do pay equity, more jurisdictions are encouraging employers to establish pay equity as a good business practice.

The Pay Equity Commission offers free services to guide employers through the pay equity process.
