Pay Equity Compliance

Since 1996 all Quebec companies with 10 employees or more are subject to the Pay Equity Act, a law that was put in place to help reduce the wage gap between equivalent predominantly male and female job classes. In addition to having to complete a pay equity analysis and/or program every 5 years, companies must also complete an annual online declaration confirming that they have complied with the law. Companies who do not comply face penalties of $1,000 to $45,000.

The specialists at Pvisio have been helping companies comply with pay equity for over 15 years. We are familiar with the various intricacies of the law and can help you comply quickly and painlessly.

Compliance with the 1% Training Law

All Quebec companies with an annual salary mass of 2 million dollars or more* must comply with the 1% Training Law (officially known as the Loi sur les compétences) whereby companies must spend at least 1% of their salary mass on training every year. For the years 2014 and prior companies with a salary mass of 1 million or more were subject to the law.

We can help you plan your training for the coming year to ensure that it meets the requirements of the law, and that all required documentation is produced and kept in case of an audit.
