5. Is Rooma entitled to pay equity?

Rooma worked in a group home for 3 years but left 4 months ago. While talking with one of her old colleagues who did the same job, Rooma found out that they received a pay equity cheque. Is Rooma entitled to pay equity?
	No. When Rooma left the company she left any claim to unpaid pay equity adjustments.
	Rooma might be entitled to a pay equity adjustment. If the adjustment was retroactive and she worked during the period for which the payment covers.
	Yes. She is definitely entitled to pay equity. She worked there for 3 years and the company had not yet achieved pay equity.
	It depends on whether she quit or was asked to leave. If she quit she would have no legal standing.

(a) Try Again
There is no time limit to request pay equity payments. If Rooma worked during the time period covered by the payment she would be entitled to a pay equity adjustment. (b) Correct
Pay equity adjustments are paid to female job classes and are incorporated into the job rate. If the payment covered a time period when she was working in the job and was to increase her job rate, she would be entitled to an adjustment. (c) Try Again
Rooma needs to know if the adjustment is retroactive to a time period when she worked. If the payment was to increase her job rate while she was working in the job she would be entitled to an adjustment. (d) Try Again
How Rooma left the group home does not matter. What will matter to Rooma is whether the adjustment is retroactive to a time period when she worked in the job. If the payment was to increase her job rate while she was working in the job she would be entitled to an adjustment.
