Frequently asked
questions
Is my business covered by the Act?
Yes, if it is provincially regulated and has an average of ten or more employees. Obligations then vary by size: 10 to 49, 50 to 99, and 100 or more, where a pay equity committee is required.
When do I need to evaluate pay equity maintenance?
Every five years, on a set date specific to your business, based on your previous work. If you don't know yours, we will find it with you during the first conversation.
What is the DEMES?
The Employer's Pay Equity Statement (DEMES) is a form employers file with the CNESST to report on the status of their pay equity work. To complete it accurately, your initial exercise and maintenance work must be up to date.
Can we carry out the maintenance evaluation ourselves?
Yes. The CNESST offers an online tool to do it. Many employers still call on specialists for job evaluation, gap calculation and postings, where mistakes are the most costly.
Our employees are unionized. What does that change?
The maintenance evaluation can then be carried out jointly with the certified association, or by the employer with a participation process. We help you choose the right approach and carry it out.
What must be posted, and for how long?
The results are posted in the workplace. Employees then have 60 days to ask questions or make comments, and the employer has 30 days to respond with a new posting.
How long must documents be kept?
At least six years: the data used for the work and the content of the postings. The CNESST may request them during an audit or a complaint.
What happens if our work is not up to date?
A business that is behind is exposed to complaints, a CNESST audit and retroactive pay adjustments. In many cases, a structured approach makes it possible to bring the situation into compliance.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the size of the organization and the state of your previous work. The timeline is specified in our proposal. Ideally, start a few months before your date.
How much does a pay equity mandate cost?
Fees depend on the size of the organization, the number of job classes and the state of previous work. After the first conversation, you receive a written proposal that specifies them.
