Everything that is in the https://menarehuman.com/canada-equal-pay/ is talking federal

2018-12-18 14:33:22 UTC  

They are trying to spread this, though, aren't they?

2018-12-18 14:33:55 UTC  

No need to say trying to. I didn't know about the equal pay act of 2018 actually before reading blueorange22's article, but that's a federal version of the formerly ontario legislation

2018-12-18 14:34:37 UTC  

And the Employment Equity Act was federal from the start it seems

2018-12-18 14:34:52 UTC  

I haven't had enough sleep to be talking about this, lol

2018-12-18 14:35:27 UTC  

So, I'm guessing the article is right but the citation is just for the act covering Oneatro?

2018-12-18 14:35:57 UTC  

no, the article is right and the citation is for the federal act (which also explains the history of the act, s tarting in ontario)

2018-12-18 14:36:19 UTC  

the article is completely right in every way and right about Canada as a whole

2018-12-18 14:36:20 UTC  

The link in the article is only for the 1987 pay equality act, needs to be updated to the 2018 one

2018-12-18 14:36:59 UTC  

Oh

2018-12-18 14:37:01 UTC  

I'm wrong

2018-12-18 14:37:06 UTC  

Oh?

2018-12-18 14:37:08 UTC  

Yeah, the citation is for the ontario-only version

2018-12-18 14:37:27 UTC  

Okay, so what is the correct citation?

2018-12-18 14:37:49 UTC  

Finding it now

2018-12-18 14:37:59 UTC  

Thanks a lot

2018-12-18 14:43:25 UTC  

Alright

2018-12-18 14:43:26 UTC  

So

2018-12-18 14:43:40 UTC  

That says the act is right about to become law

2018-12-18 14:43:48 UTC  

There's the act

2018-12-18 14:44:05 UTC  

Thanks a lot

2018-12-18 14:44:06 UTC  

(search for Pay Equity Act)

2018-12-18 14:44:11 UTC  

I'd never have found that

2018-12-18 14:44:19 UTC  

And there is lots of news sources about this that are more...readable

2018-12-18 14:44:30 UTC  

That isn't a drop-in citation yet

2018-12-18 14:44:32 UTC  

I'm looking for that

2018-12-18 14:44:43 UTC  

Okay, good

2018-12-18 14:45:21 UTC  

@asparkofpyrokravte do you know of any occasions of the 1987 act being enforced? This new one is basically a rehash of that on a federal level right? I looked for an example of it being enforced but couldn't find any

2018-12-18 14:46:45 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla That's a very good idea. Since it's on a national level now, I'm asuming it will be

2018-12-18 14:48:51 UTC  

Hrm....

2018-12-18 14:49:08 UTC  

This is the Ontario act text: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90p07

2018-12-18 14:53:48 UTC  

Okeydoke

2018-12-18 14:53:51 UTC  

So for those interested

2018-12-18 14:55:24 UTC  

Search the https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/bill/C-86/first-reading for "Comparison of Compensation" and the Ontario act for "Basis of comparison" and "Comparison of job classes"

2018-12-18 15:24:18 UTC  

Okeydoke

2018-12-18 15:24:41 UTC  

So the important sections to read are the ones I mentioned for those interested

2018-12-18 15:25:08 UTC  

Additionally, for the new act, you can look at the rules for composition of the equal pay committee (or whatever they call it) being at least 50% women (but not at least 50% men)

2018-12-18 15:25:27 UTC  

However

2018-12-18 15:25:52 UTC  

Due to artful legaleze the new act does not say that it only applies to women
