The following is to inform you of the results of the pay equity process that was recently undertaken and provide you with the information required to this effect by the law.

Mrs. Sophie Grenache, CRHA, of Libera Human Resources, has been mandated to help us complete our pay equity process.

You will find attached a list of predominantly female job classes and the predominantly male job classes that were used as comparators.

In order to evaluate these, we have used a method based on points, factors and sub factors, as illustrated below.

As per section 62 of the Pay Equity Act, the method used for assessing wage gaps was a global comparison method. This method consists of comparing each predominantly female job class with the earning curve of all predominantly male job classes.
