A principle which states that workers are entitled to equal pay where they perform the same or substantially similar jobs in the same establishment.

Description

Pay equity and equal pay

Pay equity refers to the concept of ‘equal pay for work of equal value,' and allows for different jobs to be compared based on their similar value.
Pay equity is not the same thing as equal pay, which refers to the simpler concept of equal pay for equal work. Equal pay only permits similar jobs to be compared within an establishment, and addresses wage discrimination based on gender, race, religion, etc.

"Pay equality, or equal pay for equal work, refers to the requirement that men and women be paid the same if performing the same job in the same organization. For example, a female electrician must be paid the same as a male electrician in the same organization."
