Equal Pay Analysis: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how companies with many employees must prove they pay men and women equally for the same work.
The Equal Pay Analysis is a requirement for large companies to review their payroll and prove they are paying men and women equally for the same work.
Who it's for
This scheme applies to employees working in companies that have a staff of 100 or more people.
What you get
The main benefit is a formal requirement for your employer to conduct an analysis that proves they are following equal pay rules. This ensures that gender does not play a role in how much you are paid for your work.
What it costs you
It costs you nothing to benefit from this requirement.
The catch to know
While the analysis is mandatory for large companies, it can be difficult for an individual to enforce their rights or challenge pay discrepancies without the support of a union.
How to apply
- Confirm that your company employs at least 100 people.
- Check with your HR department regarding the results of the company's most recent analysis.
- Contact a union if you suspect pay inequality exists despite the analysis.
