Determination — existence of female predominant job group
- 7 (1) If an employer that has non-unionized employees determines that a job group that contains at least the prescribed number of employees is female predominant, the employer shall

- (b) provide non-unionized employees in that job group, in the prescribed manner, with a report that

- (ii) describes how the equitable compensation assessment in respect of that job group was conducted,
- (iii) states whether or not the employer has determined that an equitable compensation matter exists involving non-unionized employees in that job group and, if there is, describing the matter, and
- (iv) sets out the plan prepared under paragraph (a), if one was prepared.
The Public Sector Equitable Compensation Act (S.C. 2009, c. 2, s. 394)
Canadian society works within a series of systems. One of them is the workplace and an associated economic system. It is a structure with various documents in law and some without force about the means by which people can be recompensated for their labor.
In Canada, as with many other countries, we can see a pay gap, not as non-existent as conservatives claim and not as big as progressives claim when taking into account time, skill, and effort. This section of the document deals with the prescribed number of a employees in a potentially female predominant job group and the possibility of the need for an equitable compensation assessment as a result.
Section 7(1) speaks to the non-unionized employees in the job group. The non-unionized, as this is a focus, employee numbers will provide an indication if a particular job grouping has the “prescribed number” of the employees in a female predominant job group.
